Just be grateful that we can watch this legendary career unfold in our lifetime.

Think they're being a bit presumptuous by already laying out Rory's Saturday and Sunday outfits???

Haha, no that is me. If you could see where that drive ended up you would have known it's not Louis :)

This is just how things are for Tiger. Last week before the Bridgestone, he said something about the greens being "patchy" and slow, and how the greenskeepers would have a challenge on it's hands getting them to roll as fast as they expected them to by the weekend. The resulting article headline was "Tiger Critical of Bridgestone Greens" or something. The comments were about 75% along the lines of "stop complaining Tiger!!! It's not the greens' fault you can't putt!"

Well, he wasn't actually complaining to begin with, but we know how that turned out. Such is always the dilemma of athletes: you can give insightful, articulate answers with substance and depth, and you're going to eventually find somebody to parse your words and spin it negatively if they don't like you. The alternative is to be cliche, vague and curt, in which case you get called an a**hole.

Not to nitpick relatively inconsequential facts ... but I think you're confusing the article.  He went to Oak Hill just prior to heading to Firestone, and it was the Oak Hill greens he was asked about.  But the crux of your argument is dead on.  The article was spun to make it sound like he was whining and complaining about the greens (when all he was doing was stating that they were slow), and buried at the very end of it, was another comment from Tiger basically saying he had little doubts that they'd get them running true and fast by tournament time.  I don't think most people even read that far into the article because they're too excited to take the author's bait and start criticizing him for "complaining" when he did nothing of the sort.

P.S.  Not a Tiger apologist here ... just a "hater" of what passes for journalism these days.

P.P.S.  Here's my post from a week ago, complete with Tiger's actual quote ... http://thesandtrap.com/t/68920/2013-pga-championship-at-oak-hill-discussion-thread/0_30#post_876785

Okay, that makes more sense.  Back at the time, I didn't understand why I thought I read him say "in a couple weeks" when the tournament was in a couple days.  Also, thanks for putting me on to that post.  You'll find out in a few minutes.

I have pretty bad grammar sometimes, so I try and make up for it and get all "fancy"

My prediction: Adam Scott and Jason Dufner will both do better than Tiger Woods.

Why waste time considering the unlikely? :-)

Tiger just stuck it on 13. I am going to go play golf. I'll see how he did this afternoon. :)

      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.
