Nice.  I guess that's about as accurate as saying all liberals are "anything goes" atheists who feel that marriage and family are useless institutions that drag on society.  Which is not true of course...most maybe but certainly not all.

I prefer Creamy Jif, so that's really not necessarily saying anything. ;)

Ooh, I know these!

Riposte is when you post something that has already been posted before.  Duh!

And proselytizing is when you perform tasks with fake appendages.  "Oscar Pistorius proselytized his way around the track in London on his way to a historic finish."  (Prior to his becoming a paranoid homicidal maniac, that is)

What do I win???

    • 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.
    • 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.
