Is this the "Make everyone look like shit app?"

ahhh . .squirrels and naked red-heads . .at least there was something interesting about the 2013 Pres Cup.  I want the Pres Cup to be as compelling as the Ryder Cup .. I really do .. it just isn't, though - at least not for me.

Sounds like sour grapes to me

LOL, anything good?

Instagram and its much maligned filters have been around making everything look like crap for almost 3 years now. :-)

agreed/ The President's Cup will never be as compelling as the Ryder Cup, but a mediocre match play event is always far more interesting that a good stroke play event. It is just too bad that television has made the anomaly of stroke play the norm.

For me it was only not compelling because of all the comparisons to the RC. In fact I probably wouldn't have given a second thought but through 4 plus days and into today they never shut up about it on Golf Channel. They set the tone for it being a let down before the first tee shot.

I don't think the intent is to make it as compelling as the Ryder Cup.   I think the goal is to have an international match play competition that is fun and entertaining for the golfers and fans, which it is.

You may be right ... but I don't see why it couldn't be.  Obviously, its not as compelling because the International team isn't as strong as the US team yet, but once the US team loses a couple of times then maybe it will be.  The weather issue certainly didn't help this weekend either.

I don't know what everybody else thinks, but the few differences between the two Cups, IMO, strongly favor the Presidents Cup.  Specifically, I love the fact that there are more matches ... everybody plays the first two sessions, and 10 guys play the next two sessions, as opposed to 8 guys for all 4 team sessions in the Ryder Cup.  More golf is always better for me. :)  I also like that they don't have ties in the singles matches so long as the Cup isn't decided.

They should have another Cup where the International team plays against the European team.  I'd watch that too!  :)

Yeah, it was great when all the events played by Hogan, Snead and Nelson were match play.  Oh, wait . . . ;-)

Hard sell to blame this on TV.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

She's from Plainville, MA, which is near TPC Norton, where the Deutsche Bank tournament is played.  Maybe she will repeat this performance there!

The moral of the story is, if you streak and are easy on the eyes, no problemo, $100 fine, media engagements.

And I'm guessing she took this photo at the police station: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BV7vfPPIMAAr88e.jpg

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
