Looking forward to the newly renovated Doral…

Will Tiger actually play well? Will Rory bounce back?

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Nice to see him smile. Hope we see a lot more of that this year.

Should be the best field in a non-major all year, unless Tiger pulls out with a broken nail. :-D

I had forgotten about this.  Now I remember ... Donald Trump bought the place and the re-did it after last year's tournament. Here is an article talking about it, and below is a photo I found on Google that also demonstrates some of the changes:

Should be fun.  And I agree with @David in FL .  Rory will play well, and Tiger probably won't.  (But lets hope he does!)

No thanks, that's a really bad bet. Second favourite odds and the man hasn't performed well since last fall, not to mention he is *supposedly* injured.

Given that he's not even confirmed that he's going to play this week, I think I'd take that bet!

OK, I should clarify more.

If he decides to play, I think he'll win.

About time he puts four good rounds together.

Why is your first instinct that Tiger is faking this injury?

I think he'll play well. I hope he wins.

I don't know, the fact that he was playing poorly without any noticeable signs that he was in pain. But it's just a guess and nothing more than that. For all I know, he might actually be severely injured.

He was seen stretching out his back (or trying to) several times, including on the first tee, in an exaggerated fashion.

Hm. My mistake. I'll defer to your ability, tmac20, to ascertain the pain and mental state of Tiger Woods, since you clearly have insight that I don't posses. It's not like we have the same access to the same information or anything.

This is one of my favorite tournaments. All in all I love the Florida swing because its usually pretty chilly in Georgia around this time and it makes me jealous of their weather :-P

Again, it was just an opinion. I have the right to state my opinion no matter how incorrect you think it is. :-)

      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.
