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.

I dunno. T13 is still +3. Some players are moving. Most of them are backwards.

Neither Tiger nor Rory were able to post a lower round than Sergio Garcia, and he drove the ball out of bounds three times in a row on the same hole.

Given you couldn't even predict his second-round score, I don't take muck stock in that prediction.

Oh, Boom.

Justin Rose still in it, come on man!

I think you have to be inside 4 shots of the lead today, because there probably won't be a low score (like 66) out there tomorrow and someone of the leading group will at least get a round around par.

And you won't be right until Woods stops playing. So with that reasoning it's better not to make predictions, because they're in fact worthless.

I also predicted that he wouldn't win this week, so I'm 1/2.

So Tiger said yesterday he was happy with his game??   Really?

Vonn looked smashing btw.   Who cares about golf if she's waiting for you to hole out at 18?

Lose the babe and 3/4 billion dollars and get hungry again? Is that the winning formula for Tiger? He did look more relaxed than ever before after today's round horsing around with McIlroy.     Has he lost something, the Tiger edge maybe? He's been in this game for 30 years. Look at other athletes who were pushed by a parent:  they long gone.

But you can't say that.   He's won 4 times this year, he's serious out there, he feels it.

      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.
