there's more to the PGA than Tiger Woods

I listened to Paul Azinger and he seems to think that all these swing changes that he's gone through plus the amount of torque he puts in that back (which is a lot more than most every golfer) is a bi

Patrick Reed only shot -3? Surprising, as he's won 3 times on tour in the last 7 months, won the 2006 Junior British open, led University High to state championships in both 2006 and 2007, won

You don't mind if I do discuss it, do you?

Guy shoots lights out with a putter that will be illegal - isn't that worth any discussion?

No, because it isn't illegal yet. Plus, there is literally zero evidence to suggest that those who use belly and long putters are better than those who use short putters.

LMAO! He's just too easy to make fun of. I really disliked him last year, but he is growing on me recently...can't hate the way he plays golf. Makes tough shots in huge situations. He'll finish top 10 here, I'm almost sure of it.

I'd bring it over to one of the already made long putter threads. It just creates to much mess here in the Bay Hill thread....and to be honest...it's beating a dead horse.

Apparently Adam Scott was experiencing flu-like symptoms this morning.

Lumpy - aka Tim Herron, making a play for the weekend, after shooting an opening round 80.

Currently -5 for today, through 12, projected cut is +1, so he will need to get a couple of more birdies & hope that the field doesn't go low and move the cut-line.

Players play, tough players win!

Only one 'trapper picked Adam Scott to win the Masters, and with a -6 finish at that.  But consider: #2 in the world (behind the injured TW), defending at his favorite tournament, and in his last year to putt with the cheat-stick.  Hmmm...

What are the odds of someone winning B2B tho? I think that is the major deterrent ...for me at least.

Two more players have withdrawn...Rory Sabbatini and Jeff Overton.

Interesting that Bubba withdraws because of "allergies" after a round where he drowned 3 balls into the water carded an 11 and isn't ripped for faking it, being a quitter or only "withdrawing" because he was playing poorly.

It's just Bubba being Bubba...

I was disappointed to see Ryo Ishikawa post a 74.  He went out early today and had a chance to position himself very nicely for the weekend.

It's Bubba, not Tiger. That's the difference, we all know Tiger is the king of quitters *Sarcasm*

I was rooting for Ryo, enjoyed watching him high up the leaderboard yesterday.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
