Homestate boy Stricker is a good dude. I like the way he brought his wife out down in Florida... pretty cool. Lord knows she probably needed to get the hell outa here. Whatever he said sure helped Tiger. I'm sure it wasn't the first time nor the last. They're always paired together @ Ryder and President Cups. They talk, i'm sure.

Players help each other out. Tiger's helped Steve too. I've seen it first-hand. They all help each other out there, for the most part. I think a lot of people would be surprised.

If he wins at Bay Hill he'll be #1 in the OWGR.

Two Thoughts:

Tiger is going to start blowing people's minds again...his short iron play was amazing!

Johnny Miller may need a pacemaker before this golf season is over.

The Keegan Bradley, Phil Mickelson relationship is a good example of that.  Mind you, their relationship is more of a mentorship but there is no doubt Keegan's game has benefited from Phil's help.

Yep. And Tiger's helped Bubba, too. And vice versa.

Stand on the range of a PGA Tour event and you'll see lots of players helping each other out.

One of the greatest things about golf is that most players respect and like each other.  That doesn't mean that they won't do everything they can (within the rules) to beat you.

Interesting snippet I saw. Brian Gay had 93 putts during the event, for an average 23-1/4 putts per round. Bloody hell!

      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.
