I like to watch Tiger when he is contending, I don't when he's not. I would just as soon see the guys leading, playing good golf on the given day.  I really don't give a rip what the manufactures/sponsors want, but money talks. I'm in it for the play, not the celebrity.  I hope Jordan get the coverage today.

Not to sound rude, but nobody on TV cares about you. If enough people like you start turning off their TVs because they don't want to watch Tiger then they'll start caring, but right now they don't because he moves the needle.

If Spieth is leading , you'll see every shot he hits, plus all of Tiger's.

This was clearly Tiger's B- game. Where would most players be with their B- game?

Probably somewhere in the vicinity of the cut line.

Tiger will be done a couple hours before the leaders. They'll show his highlights and his finish, but they are going to have to concentrate on the players still on the course.

I'm more concerned with Tiger's continued insistence on wearing white shoes with dark pants like he did yesterday....

He's still only one back. Wouldn't surprise me if he's in the lead at the end of today's round.

Yep, he certainly looked a little rattled on that double bogey. 4 over already, that's got to gnaw at you...

Lots of golf left though.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

can anyone guess which excuses Tiger will use in post 3rd round interview?

It can't be "I wasn't prepared." this is a very familiar course for him

OR I am still figuring out the new driver, Putter, irons etc....what have you been doing all winter?

His new Foley swing "process" is almost 4 year old now........

2 doubles and 4 bogies in a row,,,, hmm he should be reaching for his back and limping soon.

Friday he said he was "a yard off all day".  Maybe he was two yards off today.

Oh Christ, not another season of petty Tiger bashing, is that really where we're going again? Where's Rick Martin, he usually likes to beat that drum too. What's with you guys and the unrelenting Tiger-hate? Does your wife work at Perkin's?

Through 14, it looks like Gary Woodland is the only one that has a clue on how to play the course @ 4 under so far for the day. Although Spieth and Cink are still in the hunt.This could get very interesting..

      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.
