Who knows? The average woman doesn't turn her hips much on the backswing, then spins them like crazy on the downswing.

Well now I regret the thumbs up I just gave you in another thread... :-) I mean come on - it's bad enough to be that shallow, worse to actually admit it, and worse still that she's not even tha

Haha, sorry. I'm honest. She seems nice, funny, and nobody can doubt that she's probably the most dominant golfer in the world right now. In all fairness, there are plenty of golfers that look

I disagree with this comparison.  It's not like these ladies are out there hacking it around and shooting 80's.  The top of their leaderboards are littered with 66's and 67's on a daily basis just lik

On the YouTube channel, there's other videos of her swinging left/opposite handed and other things not part of your typical practice session. I'm not sure if she's doing an impromptu clinic or just having fun with the crowd or just part of her routine to make things interesting.

I think this is the first LPGA event I've fully followed and watched. I'm convinced. Not only can these girls play some great golf, but a lot of them are very attractive. I don't think I'll be so quick to change the channel when it comes on in the future.

I have been telling this to people for years.

Also, when the tour comes to your area you should give it a shot. You will have a great time.

Jessica Kirda reportedly fired her caddie after the 9th hole today. Her boyfriend grabbed the bag for the back nine.

I was curious how the Men's and Women's US Open compared with respect to par and winning score, my original question was "Does the USGA tend to protect par more for one of the events?"

Since 1946, the sum of the scores of the champion for women is +1, for men, -112.

But for the past 20 years, it's -82 for women, -47 for men.

For the past 40 years, -105, -123

Here are the numbers if you want to double check. There are 2 fewer entries for women because the first WUSO was match play and the current championship isn't over yet. I got them from Wikipedia.

I've tried watching this Open for the last couple of days, but it's a snooze fest.  The leaders don't have any personality to speak of, and after watching the beat down at Merion, the course they're playing looks like it's set up about as hard as a local muni.  The greens are slow, the fairways are huge.

It will be interesting to watch the women play Pinehurst #2 next year right after the men's Open.  They'll obviously be moved up quite a bit, but hopefully the USGA won't change the rough or the greens in the few days leading to the women's Open.

Back to watching the Colonial.

Man, Inbee Park is incredible.

With that said, I just can't even look at her. I know it sounds mean, but it's a good thing she's really good at golf...

I know I'm an a-hole

The only problem with this event is the leaderboard. Park is 5 strokes ahead of Kim and 8 strokes ahead of Ryu. Any tournament isn't going to be that exciting to watch when there's that much of a gap between first and third.

The AT&T; is a bit ruined because I already know Haas wins. That's the problem with delayed broadcasts.

There's no rough at Pinehurst #2 these days. Just the "scrubby sandy areas."

Agreed!  Uncool dude!  Not everybody who's watching the AT&T; realizes its tape delayed, and further, many that do and are still watching it aren't keen to find out how won ahead of time.  Lastly, I didn't think that clicking on a link for the US WOMENS Open was going to spoil the men's tournament this week.  Go figure ... guess I'll flip back to the seniors. :)

(I went ahead and censored out the name you wrote for my quoting of your post.  So anybody who reads this first and doesn't want to know ... DONT SCROLL UP!!!!!!!!!

      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.
