Planning on driving out to the Humana Challenge next year for the Friday through Sunday rounds. To anyone that has been, do you have any general advice or recommendations for getting the most out of this experience? It will be the first PGA event I've been to.

Thanks!

Number of steps just fits in with the health and awareness theme that Humana/Clinton emphasize this week. More pics

That's OK. Gary Player likes Gary Player enough for the both of you. :-P

If you want to help, post here. It's inappropriate to ask people to email you.

What kind of bullshit is that? It's that users decision whether or not they chose to email me. I have a lot of connections down here and would love to help out but I can't post any details to an open forum because of the obvious necessary privacy. My intentions are good, I'm trying to help. Take it or leave it

I never thought i would see Gary Player with a (small) spare tire around his middle. And what kind of 'training' club is he swinging?

Um, that is just his shirt overhanging his belt, not his stomach. Gary Player is probably more fit than half the PGA Tour and those guys are half his age ;)

Awesome pictures Mike, thanks for sharing.

My boss is actually there right now and is going to be part of the Pro-Am part of the tournament.  In fact, my bosses Caddie at the tournament is the same caddy that caddies for Joe Durant.  He called my boss on Saturday from Hawaii at the Sony open, where he was caddying for Joe, to confirm they will be working together (of course, my boss was super excited)..  It's Kinda cool because Joe Durant won this tournament when it was the Bob Hope Classic in 2001..  My boss should have some interesting stories when he gets back which I will be sure to share when I get to talk to him about it.

Great pics.  PGA West looks to be in immaculate condition.  It is always interesting to see the varied compositions of the tour players' bags.

      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.
