I've been an avid fan of golf for several years now. I love playing and watching as most of you do and enjoy joining in the conversations. When I started watching golf, I didn't want to like Tiger Woods, but through his amazing playing, he somehow won me over anyways. Another favorite of mine is Bubba Watson. Watson makes shots that not many would dare attempt. Last year a 40yrd hook to win te masters, the year before that, his 2nd shot was a driver off the ground that he sliced around a corner to make eagle on a par 5. Who is your favorite player and why?

Steve Stricker because he's a class act and is an amazing putter.  I always like to cheer for the guys who are from Wisconsin and right now Stricker is the best of the bunch.

Stricker is always well mannered and I do respect that.

Fowler.Probably because we have the same interest's off the course.

Fowler really has it figured out, he makes millions in Sponcors without even winning. But yes, I like Fpwler too and would to see him on the Ryder Cup next time around.

Oosthuizen is something to watch when he's playing well, and has the best swing in the game IMO.  He doesnt plan in enough American events though.

Nothing compares to watching a tournament when Tiger is in the hunt and playing well.  Even if you hate him, you cant deny it.

Not even sure I have a favorite but they're a ton I like.  I like Rickie Fowler because he seems to go to the beat of his own drum, doesn't care about all the people who bag on him for the way he dresses, and is very interactive with his fan base, seems like a genuinely good guy.  I like Dustin Johnson because he's an actual athlete (can make a full swing on a balance ball, and can dunk a basketball pretty damn good as well)  Nick Watney is another guy I like, read somewhere that he had Butch Harmon blasting rap music during one of his golf lessons.  Also a huge fan of John Daly, and have a ton of respect for Tiger and Phil as well.

El Tigre. Started playing golf in junior high after seeing him win the 1997 Masters. Ended up playing on the golf team in high school and still love playing to this day. Probably wouldn't be a golfer today if I hadn't been drawn to the game by Tiger. I played basketball and baseball as a kid.

      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.
