I don't really know how the bench works, but I just did a quick first round swap, got rid of Ryan Palmer and put in Harris English.

Palmer finished 5 over and Harris is current 4 under and I know he's been very consistent. Not sure why I didn't put him in right away.

I had Palmer as well... :cry: I will stick with him to the cut though.

Patrick Reed has been so consistent lately, hard not to pick him. Though I heard something like he had displaced ribs recently? Well Stadler is a consistent back up if he doesn't make the cut. I picked Furyk strictly for experience reasons. He almost always makes the cut at Pebble Beach. Curious to how rusty he is. I couldn't believe G-Mac is considered C Level....I mean the guy won the US Open at Pebble haha. Oh well, good for me.....I hope.

Definitely ^^

and ughhhhh!!! Why do my bench players kick so much ass every round! I should just pick a bench team and then swap them in right before the event starts....confuse the golf gods a little bit.

Spieth, Mahan, Walker, and Stadler all had good rounds.

My starting team is collectively -9.... bench is -18

Hope I'm not intruding, not sure if this is for a specific league, but I have a question that you guys may be able to help me out with.

My league is set up where every team has 11 players and you start 7 each week.  On my bench is Tim Clark who has been non-existent so far this year and I don't know if I should just drop him for someone else or keep him riding the pine until he shows up.  I know he withdrew due to injury in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any updates since then.  Anyone know what his deal is?  Guy has turned into a ghost!

TC has been MIA due to soreness in his elbow.

He probably will need several weeks for recovery.

He was playing very well, hope he's doesn't miss many more events.

I'm going to play along with @Crim and post my starters.

I like several players this week, but do not want to burn their "starts" each and every week.

So this is a maintenance week and I am going with alternative players.

^^ Nice, not bad at all.

Spieth, DeLeat and Walker have been on a role lately, and Walker has stated that this is his favorite tournament.

I just hope that my bench team doesn't completely own my starters like the last couple weeks.

Thank goodness I picked Rickie Fowler instead of Phil as my backup. If Tiger doesn't make the cut I can switch to Rickie.

    • 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.
    • 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.
