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

Yep.

No bogeys in the pairing, though.

Wow this tourney is a crap shoot. That's two final four picks dead for me already. Lame!

Wait, I just checked my score and I'm somehow T-second with a bunch of others. Guess you guys aren't doing so well either

And now we see why match play is a dud for television.  This format only determines the best player on a single day or for a single round, and these guys are matched closely enough that on any given day, anyone can beat anyone.  I predict that this tournament will go the way of the dodo bird in the not so distant future.  Sponsors paying millions aren't going to keep putting up money to see the top two players in the world play one losing round of golf.

When Tiger and Rory both lost in the first round, the simultaneous click of millions of TV's being turned off simultaneously almost set of a tsunami.

I know it would make the tournament longer, but I have always wished they would make it double elimination.  Or at least have a way for the guys who lose on the first day a chance to battle back into this thing somehow.  This format definitely makes you bring your "A" game.

I don't doubt it makes it less interesting for the fringe fans or LCD but I'm more interested if anything. More surprising than Rory and Tiger being one and done is all the other big names that lost today. I didn't play in this fantasy challenge but I picked Oosthuizen and BVP to meet in the final so I'm hanging in to the end to see how it shakes out. I'm ready for the the feel good story, a win by Henley, Oleson, BVP or Sterne. But yeah certainly not something the sponsors want to see.

      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.
