Lefty being carted off the course w/ an "oblique muscle injury"......you folks who only watch the PGA tour when Lefty or TW are entered better 1) find some other golfers to root for or 2) find something else to do on your weekends other than watch PGA golf on the HDTV.    TW and Lefty aren't getting any younger and are breaking down, unfortunately.

Do you ever get tired of being such a one trick pony? Seriously dude, work on some new material.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Was Bowditch allowed to move that rock to improve his stance when he was in the rough?  I thought that was against the rules of golf.

Loose impediment (Boulder) - wasn't in a hazard.

It's a loose impediment. On another note, I don't like those Valero commercial with the car going out of control, the accelerator depressing by itself, reminds me of those accidents that were happening where the driver couldn't stop the cat from accelerating.

The rock was not "solidly imbedded" in the ground, so despite its size, it qualifies as a loose impediment and can be moved. Similar to the situation Tiger had in Phoenix back in '99. That boulder "loose impediment" was so large that he needed help from several spectators to move it.

I couldn't watch that all day either! Heaven help us if he and NA ever get paired together.

I would, but then I wouldn't be able to participate in the Rick Martin drinking game. Every time Rick Martin whines about TW you drink a beer.

The forum also has a BAN feature.-Maybe theyll decide to use it (dude). [quote name="Rick Martin" url="/t/73489/2014-valero-texas-open-discussion-thread/36#post_969139"] Check around - I have a ton of posts elsewhere. Does this forum have an ignore - use it (dude). [/quote]

ON YOU (dude).[quote name="Rick Martin" url="/t/73489/2014-valero-texas-open-discussion-thread/36#post_969159"] I don't think the guy ought to be banned - he needs to stop the personal attacks. [/quote] One trick pony is about right.-But plz tell us again how we arent true golf fans because we only tune in when history is being made and spend the rest of the time with our wives or families or friends when Pat Perez is playing well in some podunk TX tourney-OKAY?

NBC needs to just not go to him until he's done with his fifth practice swing - there are other guys on the course. He could be fast in other parts of the game, just not in his preshot routine.

      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.
