So I'm sitting here in my comfortable home trying to enjoy a PGA event on the high def, and some idiot in the crowd yells "Wheat Thins" right after Wheatcroft hits.

Why do we have to be subjected to these idiots in the crowd. It's bad enough that we have to hear Tiger Woods yell out "****" every time he hits a bad shot, but these yahoos in the crowd?  Gotta believe the networks can fix this.

Guess it's time to hit the mute and listen to something else while watching.

Shanks for the memories - never have seen a ball shanked out of a trap by anyone, much less a professional. Nice job of Wheatcroft recovering, smiling about it, and salvaging a bogey.

Good round by Cabrerra, who you've got to think is peaking just in time for Augusta.

Hope Haas wins.

It seems to me that Wheatcroft played the bunker shot too quickly. His feet were near the edge of the bunker and likely he was standing a bit too near the ball as a result.

He talked about it during the rain delay. I think he wore it last time he won. Who says golfers aren't superstitious?

      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.
