This week TPC Boston plays host to the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, as Webb Simpson defends the title he won a year ago in a playoff over Chez Reavie. Often the lowest-scoring leg of the playoffs, this week should be no exception, placing an emphasis on those who can create the most birdie opportunities - and convert those chances when presented with them. 98 players will tee off this week in Boston, but only 70 will advance to next week's BMW Championship at Crooked Stick.

Here are seven groups to watch Featured Groups at the Deutsche Bank

7:52 a.m. Friday (10 tee): Ian Poulter, Ben Crane, Kevin Na

What did Poulter do to deserve this? The colorful Englishman is paired with two of the most, um, deliberate players on the PGA Tour. At least the trio tees off early Thursday – no concerns about finishing before dark.

8:16 a.m. (10 tee): Luke Donald, Justin Rose, Steve Stricker

If only these benevolent chaps would engage in 36 holes of Ryder Cup trash-talk. If nothing else, though, fans will be treated to a delightful display of shotmaking. Donald has a history of good results at TPC Boston, and the Englishman could return to world No. 1 with another stellar week.

8:28 a.m. (10 tee): Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson, Carl Pettersson

Hope the group ahead is playing quickly. It’s a long-bomber alert here, with Johnson and Watson trading titanium-denting blasts. Let’s hope they engage in a few impromptu long-drive contests throughout the round.

8:40 a.m. (10 tee): Nick Watney, Brandt Snedeker, Tiger Woods

You know at least one man will be watching this group: Davis Love III. Two Ryder Cup hopefuls in the same group, playing alongside Woods, who has more pull than any other team member? With the captain’s selections looming next Tuesday, it doesn’t get much juicier than this.

12:46 p.m. (1 tee): Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Rickie Fowler

The most fan-friendly group of the week. You never know what Phil will do next; at The Barclays, he experimented with the claw putting grip. And Fowler is contending for one of the four captain’s picks, so he needs a good week at TPC Boston.

12:58 p.m. (1 tee): Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Keegan Bradley

Kooch and Bradley already have locked up spots on the Ryder Cup team, while Mahan is fading fast. With only one top 10 since April, Mahan likely needs another one in Boston or risks being left off the team.

1:10 p.m. (1 tee): Rory McIlroy, Zach Johnson, Jason Dufner

Further proof that golf at the elite level takes on many different forms. McIlroy’s athletic, powerful swing is among the best in the game; Johnson, meanwhile, is one of the game’s ultimate grinders. Rory and Duf have two of the coolest struts in golf, too.

He lipped out an Eagle and a birdie putt on his first 9.  Insane, he could be -8 through 12.

5 in a row for Woods, perhaps he thinks he needs a little puffer for the weekend rounds...

Schwartzel and DA Points are both playing well too.  Those dudes are on the bubble, so they need a solid tournament to make it to the BMW.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
