As much as i hate to admit it being a massive tiger fan i think it is safe to say that the 23 year old irishman is set to eclipse woods as the new face of golf.

Not only is he starting to dominate the game beating tiger and every body else but also he seems to be a sponsors dream, young number one in his sport with a young good looking tennis player for a girlfriend.

with all the stuff tiger has had going on over the last few years with divorces and affairs and all the rest of it mcilroy has come into his own winning 2 majors and 4 other tournaments on the pga tour.

i think within the nest 3-5 year mcilroy will be the new face of golf and tiger will live in his shadow until the day he retires.

Great golfer but not sure he has the personality to become a cultural icon the way Tiger did. In his prime he was well known to people that had no interest in golf. Time will tell but currently I don't think the same can be said about Rory. Tiger's massive fame still makes him the most recognizable face in golf. Regardless of how he scores I don't see that changing for a while.

Rory's on a roll for sure, playing the best golf over an extended period that anyone has played since Tiger's dominance began, but I think that Tiger still has lots of game left.  We'll see what happens this week, and then at the Ryder Cup.  I'm just not ready to anoint Rory as the best until he holds #1 for more than a few weeks at a time.

Haha, at least you owned up to it. I think Tiger is still in his prime.

Tiger is primed to have a huge year. He wins today and he is the new #1 and probably won't relinquish it for another 200 weeks.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

This is where that old saying comes from.... "Spoke too soon"

      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.
