Pressure is starting to get to Bowditch, that last iron shot looked something like I'd hit not a pro.  I'm not getting Loupe, he takes all these practice swings that look completely different from the swing he makes over the ball.

Don't know if it was pressure or not, but that was pretty horrendous.

Did Na just slam his club into sand after leaving it in the bunker? Penalty?

Couldn't tell ... He scraped it on the ground in front of him a few times, but behind a hump from the camera. Presumably was wiping sand off face using grass outside bunker.

Na got hit with 2 shot penalty, dumb move.  He can't get out of his own way sometimes.

That's not the bad part.

The bad part is before slamming his club down he backed off it twice, took 12 practice swings, and 47 wiggles.

I just saw his "pre-shot routine" for the first time. Good Grief!!!!! He must have learned to play golf all by himself. I can't see any respectable foursome ever inviting him back to play with them again.

Then after all of those antics he pulled the shot a mile left. :loco:

Deserves the double bogey. He's been put on the clock!! First time I've seen only one player in a group put on the clock but good on them! Absolute joke, this has to be the worst I've seen.

Is this, perhaps, because its 100% obvious that it's only him that is playing slow?

In the past, it's always been the entire group that goes on the clock, right?

Yes, it's clearly Loupe that has them two hole behind.  All these delays have to me messing with Kuchar's and Bowditch's mental focus.

Oh for sure it is, I can't imagine the impact it has on the other players. I know Kuchar is a stand up guy and probably won't make a big deal of it afterwards but you almost wish he was playing with someone outspoken to call him out on it.

      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.
