I thought the woman would never play at Oakmont, but I was there when Paula Creamer won the U.S. Women's open in 2010.
I Will be at St. Andrews, Scotland when the women play the British Open this July.
I will be hoping that someday soon, the woman will be invited to play at Pebble Beach.
What does everyone think?

I think they will someday.  Times are changing and as younger people with more modern ideas take over, things will continue to change.  Granted, it might be another 20 or 30 years but I think eventually you will even see a Womens' Masters at Augusta.

Am I missing something? This isn't a rights thing, it's just that they don't have a tournament scheduled there, correct?

Does the LPGA have an Open?  Or do you mean the USGA Women's Open? If so, it comes down to money, doesn't it? The cost of holding a major tournament at Pebble Beach would have to be much more than at some of the private courses they normally use for the Women's Open.  Pebble doesn't need the "prestige" factor, and quite likely wouldn't want to tie up its course for that many weeks unless it was the Men's Open, IMO.

The USGA Women's Open. It has been held at Oakmont. Why not Pebble Beach? The Women's British Open is in St. Andrews this 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.
