Makes you appreciate Zach Johnson's game even more. Specially after his chip in just now, spent hardly any time and just chipped it in. Take some notes Andrew SLOUPE

Wow. Texas bunkers look just like Quebec bunkers.

Nah.  Quebec bunkers are currently full of snow!

They just put Loupe on the clock. Its about time! That guy has the worst pre-shot routine, very slow player.

Johnny Miller said he would quit announcing if Na, Bradely, and Loupe was in the same group. LOL

I can sometimes forgive a player who takes a long time IF they hit a great shot... sometimes, but when they take forever and then hit a $h!t shot it is too much to take.

"While we're young" becomes "Before I kill you" pretty quickly.

Announcer (not Miller) just said "Loupe is NOT the reason this group is behind." Then went on to imply that it's because nobody is hitting fairways lol? Suuuurrreee guys.

That wasn't meant to be a shot. It was meant to be a joke. :-D But there also is some truth to it. Once Tiger retires, they'll have to do something to spice up the game or their ratings will plummet.[/quote] FYI: jokes are supposed to be funny

Loupe and Kuchar are off the clock now. I'll agree with @DEsler , I can understand a slow/"delibrate" player if they hit great shots after their mind finally settles into the shot.

One of the few things that can make me quit this game is slow play. I can't do 6 hour rounds, just can't.

Good for Bowditch. But my gawwwd this year is a drag so far. Slow play, no namers winning, and good players sucking. Hope at least the majors will be rewarding.

So it looks like another week where we have a new champion and a star player

Good for Bowditch. But my gawwwd this year is a drag so far. Slow play, no namers winning, and good players sucking. Hope at least the majors will be rewarding.

Agree. This has been a very boring year so far. It seems like every week a big name is in position to win and blows it (McIlroy Honda, Dufner-Doral, Rose-Valspar, Scott-Bay Hill, Kuchar-Texas) and then a no name wins. I really hope the Masters provides some drama. I really don't want to see a John Senden-Matt Every Sunday showdown for the green jacket.

      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.
