Want to make sure I congratulate mchepp on winning the TST bracket challenge!  Came down to a tie breaker with David in FL who also had 75 points.  Nice job Mike!

Sorry for your pain. How do you suggest the organizers arrange for the people you like to win and people you don't like to lose? Maybe some sort of American Idol setup where there's an online vote and

Ah, wish I joined earlier to make it for the challenge! Kuchar was my favourite, love the guy. He's one guy I can usually always count on getting me points in fantasy leagues. Consistent, classy and awesome golfer.

Just visited USA TODAY.com's sports page and not a word on the main page about this event. Listened to my fav sports talk radio shows today and no reports of Kucher winning. This even isn't as big to the sportsworld as it is to junky golfers - and there's something wrong w/ that when the top 60 golfers go at it like they did.

well, to be fair, its more about who wins.  trust me, if tiger or rory had won, theyd be talking about it.  mike & mike wouldve talked it up, without a doubt.

Another user, Pakoh and I played yesterday at a local course here in SoCal... And we were chuckling because the '19th hole' at the course, which is quite nice - setup as a more modern day sports bar... Has dozens of large LCD tv's playing sports, nice and clean interior... Not one had the WGC Match Play event on.

College Basketball... Check.

NBA Basketball... Check.

Daytona 500.... Check.

Absolutely no signs of the finals Match Play event.  :faceplam:

Lame.  Did you ask them to put it on?

I get it ... trying to get in some last minute desperation practice in an attempt to avoid the inevitable beat down?  How'd Pakoh do?  I spent my yesterday at the range trying to reduce my handicap by 5 strokes in one hour so I can pull my weight tomorrow ... don't think I succeeded. ;)

Poor Kuchar, hardly a word about his victory on XM PGA Tour radio today - all anyone wanted to discuss was the (proposed) anchor ban.

      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.
