It's just some dude lazing out in an airport lounge, what's so special about that? I never really understood the "uber-cool" image of Freddy, sure he seems like a pretty cool guy but I don't see anything that justifies the legendary status his "coolness" seems to carry. I've never seen him in person so maybe that's why? Is it something that has to be experienced first hand to really appreciate or is he just extremely well marketed?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I've never seen the guy flustered. If there's a photo of him freaking out, I'd post that too. :-)

I have.

He took a drop in the Bob Hope I think, and it bounced and settled way down into the grass. He wasn't playing particularly well and had just missed the green with a 6-iron on a par five or something. A guy a few feet away snickered a little at the horrible lie he got and Freddie snapped "You think that's ****ing funny, do ya? Huh? ****ing *******."

It was about four to six years ago.

Ouch. Guy should've kept his mouth shut, but Couples should have as well.

FWIW, I didn't fault him for it. I don't really care if people swear. The guy who laughed wasn't a child.

Yeah, nor would I. He deserved it. I say Couples shouldn't have responded, but pretty unrealistic to go by if you're not going to say something nice don't say it at all.

I see guys sitting like that all the time in the airport so I wouldn't have paid enough attention to him to even realize it was Couples.

Sooo cool, I could never get away with that.

No private jet?

Freddie appeared at a Junior clinic sponsored by RBC last year at our club in Philly. He took a redeye from LA, spent the day at the club, and took another commercial flight back to LA that evening.

      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.
