Dustin 7 v Rory 6.

Re Dustin & majors - he has the ability to win anywhere if he is on. Where his head goes in a major is the big question.

Attended a Q&A; last year with Monty & Retief Goosen, they both thought he win one.

I think he needs to blow the field away in a Major to get his head around it and then he'll win a lot more.

Yeah, this.

By the way, now 3 of his wins are in 54 hole events.  Is that a coincindence?  In this week's case, I think it's not related because it was known the final round was going to be the final round before it started.  But if the other two were rained out after 54 holes then maybe its because he didn't have a chance to have a final round meltdown?

Regardless, he gave himself a few chances to go in the tank and blow it this week, but he didn't.  He kept his head on straight and gutted it out.  Good for him, maybe he's turning a corner mentally.  I'm rooting for him!

The Barclays he won in 2011 was shortened to 54 holes before the tournament started because of forecasts that the New York area was in the path of Hurricane Irene. The field knew the third round would be the last one there, too.

Good ... then maybe it is just a fluke.  I like him and hope he has a big year.

      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.
