Weather?  Are you kidding me?  I'm hearing that the cold wet weather killed the grass....I'm not even close to an expert but the only time I've seen bent grass like that was from extremely hot humid w

Its been decided by the people in charge, and that's not you fourputt, that no penalty to Sergio.  He made no mistake despite what you or others may think you have seen. Sergio plays by the rules and

I think by August 2017 they'll have figured it out.

Maybe someone in the know can clarify, but isn't the PGA Tour pretty hands on with golf course maintenance leading up to a tournament, or is that just with the majors?

Even if they are "blowing up" the greens and replacing them with Bermuda why are they in such horrible shape?

Phil had a pretty good day today.

Rory is going to have to pick up the pace.

Ricky.........Well, he's just being pretty boy Ricky who can't get it done. Intimidated earlier by Tiger and now by Phil.

Here's a hint:

“This is nothing that we didn’t know about,” said tournament executive director Kym Hougham. “Mother Nature wasn’t kind to us, but we’ve done everything we could do about it.”

And here's some more explanation: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2013/04/30/dead-greens-wells-fargo-championship/2123889/

Looks like it's mostly bad luck with weather.

P.S.  Anybody else thinks Mike's OP would also do well over in the "Beautiful Women" thread?

It cracks me up how high peoples expectations are for so many different players.

Ricky got his first win last year on his way to winning $3 M and finishing top 20 in the Fed Ex Cup.  This year he has only missed 1 cut and posted 3 top sixes and is currently top 30 Fed Ex Cup.

Jimmy- You probably shoot under par all the time, but I wish I could not get not it done on a tour course and shoot even par.

Take a deep breath.

Did you pick Ricky in the office pool?

Look at my handicap. HA!

Nope. I picked him in my pool, not sure why that was referenced but obviously he's not getting it done.

Well it's Sergio, so he probably doesn't putt much worse with his wedge than his putter anyways.

Weather?  Are you kidding me?  I'm hearing that the cold wet weather killed the grass....I'm not even close to an expert but the only time I've seen bent grass like that was from extremely hot humid weather, not cold wet weather.  That or abuse.   Bent grass should be thriving under the conditions they had this winter.

My brother lives in Charlotte and the word(rumor of course) is that they were cut too short too early for a member/member tourney.  Now that I will buy.  I can see greens getting stressed by cutting and playing while still dormant which they could be from a colder than usual winter.  Lord forbid they play on furry winter greens for a member/member.  Just rumor of course but I don't buy the BS about the weather doing it.  There had to be another factor.

Someone said that the Super from 2012 is no longer there... And they have a new Super.  My guess is someone f'd up during the change of management?

Once on the green is the only allowed shot a 'putt'?  Sergio used a wedge and he chipped it in but probably it will count as a putt in the stats since he was on the green.

In PGA tour statistics all the shots hit after the ball has found the green are counted as putts. Even if the ball left the green at some point and even if hit with wedge.

Didn't pick Ricky and what cracked me up was a 21 capper criticizing a guy for shooting even par and making the cut on a PGA Tour course.

I guess it is that the PGA Tour produces only 1 winner each week compared to team sports where half the guys win each day that makes it so common for everyone to criticize productive pros who are not ranked #1 in the world or didn't win that week.  If Ricky played a round with you at your home course and executed exactly the same as he did yesterday, you would be blown away by how good he was and singing his praises instead of saying he was a pretty boy that was intimidated by Phil.

      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.
