Thanks for the vids and pics Mike, wish I could be there.

Question? In post#5 there is a photo which looks like CH lll on the putting green.

What was the setup on the putting green?

(Putter had mechanism on lower part of shaft with a standup device perpendicular to the person on the green, connected to a laptop)

It would be great if there was a web cam on the practice tee. For me at least, whenever I go to a sporting event I find just as much, if not more in enjoyment, in watching the players warmup, and prepare to compete.

When did Ricky cut his hair..?

BTW, how is Ricky's full swing looking..?

I think that was at the beginning of the new year. Unfortunately did not get his swing, he literally hit his last full shot when I walked onto the range. Didn't see him today.

Theres a lot of vokey wedges in those pics.

Yep they are the #1 wedge on tour. Most contracts are for 10-12 clubs so there is some wiggle room when it comes to wedges so you'll see Vokey wedges in TaylorMade, Adams and PING player's bags. Also, Titleist has a decent number of players.

Looks like Couples & Dufner are using Trackman. Anyone else?

What's the typical percentage of those on the range using TM/FS on a Monday?

Basically most players are on Trackman, using it more as a fitting/checking launch numbers tool than a teaching tool.

Fantastic Pictures................I noticed Nike wedges in a TMAG staff bag :)

Yeah that was Carl Pettersson, was a Nike guy his last several years on tour.

Got some good video today, here's a few, will be posting more tomorrow

Love these behind the scenes pictures and videos that we have seen across the west coast swing.  Thanks very much.  From a player perspective, I've read this week that Riviera favours lefties (that's obvious looking at Mickelson and Weir records here) and natural faders of the golf ball.  So question to you guys.  Who does that favour this week? Would be great to get some feedback around the players that might feature this week.

question, could the players wear shorts on the range or during practice rounds?

Agreed. I'm shocked at how many old and beat up clubs there are.

Anyone know what happened to Scott Verplank? He was 10 over after 9 i believe and withdrew. Injury? Poor play?

      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.
