In the eye of the beholder I guess, but that's what the media does - this is a juicy story of two talented rival athletes with one having a hissy so it makes sense in the media's world to go back & find if Sergio said things in the past about Tiger. And I would assume they also did the same with Tiger. But Tiger doesn't divulge much - he has mastered the one-word answer which gets right to the point.

So is it time to move on? It will be when the media gets tired of the story or when something else happens. This is their cause du jour.

What are you talking about?  They were said this past Tuesday - i.e., yesterday.  It was a dinner honoring 2012 accomplishments on the Eurotour, but it just happened.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Whoa, easy there. This soap opera has to continue, a lot of grown up people have nothing better to do with their time. We've got to respect this!

Sorry, I stand corrected. Somehow I thought he said the fried chicken thing last year.

Well hell, then that doesn't make this a 'media thing' at all, does it? If he said that just the other night, ithe media isn't pushing this, Sergio is.

Yeah, just a very stupid thing to say after you were just asking people to "move on" a few days earlier.  I understand that he thought he was giving a silly answer in response to what he thought was a silly question, but it was stupid nonetheless.

I'm sure he's wishing he would have just said "no" in response to the question and left it at that.

Yet another thing that Tiger does better! LOL.

      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.
