Yeah. The USGA should be able to accurately predict the local weather on the first day of the Open five years in advance, when they award the Open to courses.

Or, just stick to areas that are void of potential rainfall and severe weather. Use your head, zip!

Landing area on #16. The fairway bamks up to the right but it is very narrow and nobody will try to hit it up there. It's a short iron over the quarry to the hole, so they will most probably play shor

The ridiculous thing is not that Phil is flying back for his daughter's 8th grade graduation, it is that her school is even HAVING an 8th grade graduation.  Alas this is becoming far too common.

When I was watching that video of the 2008 playoff, at one point I thought, "Why don't they just play all U.S. Opens in SoCal?" I was being a bit facetious, but it would make the weather thing a bit easier.

Weren't there some weather concerns last year too? I remember it being really foggy and was thinking there were rain delays or some kind of weather concern.

understood, but people associate bad experiences with their choices, weather or not they were out of their control.

California...big difference ;-)

That's what they get for holding it on the least coast.

Looks like Tiger's group must be marquee group #2...although they likely won't get the coverage times right with all of these delays.

Ha! In an AOP meeting all day.  Can't even surf the web (except now at lunch).  And dinner tonight so won't even catch it then.  Wonder if Board would consider changing year ends for that?

      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.
