I may have set my alarm for 4am. I may also have set my alarm for Tiger's tee time. I'm not telling.

The player furthest away from the hole plays first.

Saturday of a major has been pure frustration for Tiger fans the last couple years, we'll see if today is any different. If they hit it close enough to the hole, they may elect to finish

He may be a southerner with silly clothes who supports Arsenal, but I was enjoying Ian Poulter's earlier holes. I really hope he stays in contention. Would love to see him win an Open.

Considering Rory appears to be more comfortable putting into bunkers than actually advancing the ball to the hole, maybe you should lend him a few tips.

I may or may not have loaned Rory my chipping game.

And Philly 3-jacks the 18th for the 2nd round in a row. Again from maybe 20-feet.

Tiger hits opening t ball in the tether left. Hits a provisional and it's even further left. WOW...

From what I saw, the second one was left, but definitely not further left than the first. The first one was only 10ish yards from the OB fence.

LMAO!! Tweet from Ian Poulter: The guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill and clown face.

All the players need to get over it. Everyone has to play them, and its the Open. You should expect the unexpected.

Zach Johnson said he was "shocked" by some of the pin positions, but had nothing really bad to say. Of course, he played pretty well, so he didn't have much room to gripe.

If ZJ was E or +1, he would have had a lot to say. It's easy to say nothing when all is well, like you said.

I got a bit of a giggle out of that, because of all the talk about how great he was going to play from Golf Channel.

Phil had some strong comments as well.  By the weekend I figure it will be forgotten.  Apparently 8 and 18 are pretty tough, though.

Westwood found some trouble but finally made a nice bogey putt on 7. If he putts well, he'll be in contention I think... but we all know where his putting has been for a while now.

      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.
