This is the first time at the end of a match that a pro didnt take his hat off to shake his opponents hand. Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar never took there hat off to shake hands with their opponent. Maybe it was because they were so devastated losing they forgot . I still think that was disrespectful to their opponents.

Two thumbs up compared to Kaymer pulling a disappearing act after his match.

I do applaud whatever gets people to stop this ridiculous new "tradition" of hat post round hat removal.

I distrust anyone that would make an issue of something like that (like the stuffed shirt that puffed his chest, and disrespectfully interupted, Fowler for wearing his hat backwards at a press conference).

I agree with every post on here, save for the OP.

But, mostly, as a dude who's hair is disappearing faster and faster every day, I agree with Sean.

I don't think it was purposeful.  In every other match, hats were removed.  In both cases you could tell they were congratulating their opponent.  I think it was just an oversight.

Believe me, nobody wants to see my hair when the hat comes off (although Furyk doesn't have to worry about that)

Yea, Furyk and Strickler are both bald and Tiger ain't far back. Or maybe it was fear of sunburn.  If you played 'Sir Nick Faldo'  would you curtsy or bow  on the 18th?

Kind of a worthless thread as this is a non-issue but I like it that pro's take off their caps when they shake hands post round. It shows respect and in a way separates the commercialism from the competition.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
