Im still hazy on how these strokes gained stats work. I know its how players are primary rated now, but im still hazy on how it translate to actual performance when watching in real time. Hypothetically, you see a bunch of guys hit a fairway and green, make two putts for par. But some will have lower strokes gained than the others. Its not really intuitive without diving into a bunch of math. 

It’s simple. If guys get the same score on a home their total strokes gained is the same.

This is so damning with faint praise, passive aggressive.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Well, normally stephen smith resorts to "aggressive aggressive" so that's a move in a better direction than his normal "just be an asshole all the time" persona.  For this guy, it's pretty much gushing - he probably wants a signed glove.

Not sure what the Yes +225, No -275 means.

That means if you bet on “yes”, you bet $100 to win $225.

For “no”, you bet $275 to win $100.

Roughly speaking, that implies a 30% chance of him winning a major. Which seems reasonable.

Hypothetically, Woods wins the 2019 or 2020 Masters, which is bigger, Nicklaus winning at 46 or Woods at 43/44?

A, easily.  It was the 18th major.  And it was at a later age.

After none of the stuff Tiger's gone through the last five years.

Woods at 43/44

Being so injured, he could hardly get out of bed each day. This is stuff of legends right now. 

I don't think it's even close.

Jack never had a spinal fusion. He never rebuilt his swing 4 times. He also didn't have this strong of a field to compete against.

Later age doesn't matter here. You are not considering the complexity of this situation that easily shows that what Tiger is doing dwarfs anything that Jack did after the age of 40.

He was a better athlete.  He never fell apart physically, mentally, emotionally.

He did have a hip thing.  But that came later I think.

Thanks. That was the intent.

What TW has overcome is something Jack probably never even had a bad dream about. If he dreams at all, which he probably doesn't, because why would he? It's not practical.

With his win this last weekend, what tournaments in this upcoming season does he now get into (that he otherwise wouldn't)?

My first thought was the Tournament of Champions in January.

He's got lifetime (IIRC) for the Masters, the Open Championship (until age 60), and the PGA Championship, so those aren't affected.

He gets into the 2019 US Open by being in (even without winning) the Tour Championship, so the win doesn't affect that.

Any others?

Just the U.S. Open, but he wouldn't have needed the win, as his OWGR would have gotten him in anyway.

Winning didn't get him into the U.S. Open, either: simply qualifying for the Tour Championship did:

  • Players qualifying for the season-ending 2017 Tour Championship. (from the 2018 exemptions list)

So he didn't even need to play in it. Just qualifying for it got him the U.S. Open exemption.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
