If Steve Stricker ends up winning the FedEx Cup without a win this year, the trophy should be thrown in a tub of hydrofluoric acid.

Yeah, just like when someone wins a tournament without shooting the low round on any of the four days--what a fraud.

Good analogy, but I don't see it as quite the same in my mind.  One reason that the points are re-set prior to the Tour Championship is to increase the chances of the TC winner being the FEC winner (and to eliminate the possibility that the FEC is decided before the TC).

Stricker has had a VERY GOOD year- #2 in scoring average with 3+ less tournaments than anyone else in the TC.  I don't think it will happen, but if he took the Cup without winning the entire season, it would seem wrong.
FWIW, Stricker benefited slightly from the points reset (going from 1172 to 1100 back) while the guys 2-5 actually got hurt by the reset as the top 5 were pretty close going into the TC.

I disagree. In order for Stricker to win it, he needs certain people to play pretty poorly. For me, the FECC is all about consistency. And even without a win, he's clearly been consistent. And finishing #2 while everyone else crumbles just proves that consistency.

I understand what you are saying, but the FEC is not entirely about consistency as the points for the playoff events are worth 5x the regular and everyone resets in the TC so a guy automatically jumps from 5th to 1st with a win even if he was much less consistent.

If it was just about consistency, then Tiger might already have it locked with the low scoring average.

Tiger seems to be doing a bit better with the driver today. Just saw he had a 352 yd drive on 9 via the shot tracker. Not doing all that great on approach shots today still though. Lot of 20+ foot putts.

Did anyone see the Webb Simpson penalty?

I saw it assessed. but I did not see the actual occurrence as they did not show it. Simpson's ball moved after he addressed it in the right rough on hole number 7. He immediately self reported it. No footage  as best I can tell.

Adam Scott's currently at the top, Tiger and Phil are near the bottom. I don't have a worse nightmare outcome for this event than the current situation. At least Stricker is near the top.

Tiger near the bottom ensures that we won't be forced to watch every grimace, scowl, wince, flinch, whine and cheat that comes out of him. I consider that a win for everyone. ;-D

Oh, I think you will see every swing. There are only 30 players. Only a handful will be in contention, so there will be plenty of time to see all of Woods' shots.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By DeadMan ·

      Here is a description of all the programs:  Programs & Training Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is... I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
