to be fair, his last one hit a tree and caromed left.

and i agree, this has been excruciatingly slow.

They sure are desperately trying to make it look like Woods could lose that lead coming in. That sure won't happen. But his driving today is really concerning. Perhaps it's because of the slow play, the wind or something else. It's crazy, the guy wins by 5 or so and probably will leave with a sour taste.

But I really think the missing rhytm due to the slooooow play in front of him has something to do with his uneven play today. They just said the group in front of Woods is a whole par 5 and some more behind, that's ridiculous...

Maybe in their haste to get as many holes as possible yesterday they put everybody off too close together?  7 or 8 minutes perhaps, instead of 10 or 15 or whatever their usual is?

I noticed that there was a group waiting in the fairway behind Tiger's group on 6 yesterday, which means that there was no gap at all between the guys who started their final round on the back nine and the leaders.  I've never seen that before either.

Why did Tiger look like he was 100 yards behind the other 2 there?  Did he tee off with a 7 iron?  (In case you are wondering, I'm watching with one eye and no sound, and no DVR, at work)

He hit a 3W with about a -9 AoA.  And took a huge divot.  Look like he stuck it into the ground behind the ball and skied it.

This is insane... Sneds must be enjoying a roast beef sandwich, while Tiger is trying to grind out a win.

Tiger's group had been waiting most of the day.  The group in front of them is a full par 5 (and some) behind the next group.

Yesterday Hunter Mahan made the turn while teeing off the back nine first, and had to wait some 10-20 minutes before he could tee off on 1.

Hopefully they talk to a few players about why things got so bad on the back 9.

Snedeker finished like 2+ hours ago didn't he?  He could have taken a nap, did some surfing and then ate lunch.

I'd be going freakin nuts with these snails ahead of him. It has got to be affecting his play.

      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.
