It's not the weather, though, as you may expect ... But rather, Phil Mickelson is just starting his practice round. ;)

I'd like to make a suggestion to the Augusta people: Quickly write into your tournament by-laws a contingency tradition; if the son of a former winner wins the tournament, his dad gets to prese

I'm pretty sure that after back surgery you're on strict bedrest, so its not that surprising that he isn't at the champions dinner.

If Mickelson would've had the same injury, I can guarantee you he wouldn't have come. Nobody would after back surgery.

I said that if his surgery prevented him from going, than that obviously makes sense.  I meant if Tiger was physically able to attend, I still doubt he would have, but if healthy, I think Phil would.

So if Tiger was healthy, Phil would have attended? ;-)

That's really speculative.

Why would TIger not attend? Is there any evidence to suggest that he doesn't usually attend?

Of course it's speculative.  Isn't that what we do around these parts? :-) And of course he USUALLY attends because he's USUALLY already in town.

Depends I guess, but I was back to work 5 days after back surgery for a blown disc......

Gary Player still has a hell of a swing for 78 years old!  I feel bad for Arnie. He's never struggled like this at the Par 3.  Still awesome to see him out there though.

Arnold Palmer is honestly the coolest man alive. As old as he is, golfing like he can, jabbing at other players, his stories, he's a boss.

Absolutely. I am seriously getting a kick out of Jack too. Such a class act. He would be a badass grandpa to have too. Most kids are like "Ahhh, do I HAVE to go to grandma and grandpa's today????". His granddaughter has to be in awe right now at the fact that thousands of people both her age and his age are admiring and saluting her grandpa, giving him high fives and standing O's every time he walks down the fairway, etc.

It was cool when Jack stopped and signed that little girl's yellow cast on her arm too and gave her a kiss on the forehead and went about his way. Such a cool dude.

I don't know, but you can watch it live at Masters.com ... that's what I'm doing.  The only scores I know are Arnold Palmer - DNF and Victor Dubuiisson - 3 under.

Whoops, they just showed it.  Ryan Moore is -6, somebody is -4, and a bunch are -3.

I know a Par 3 contest winner has never won the Masters in the same year....but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to throw the winner in your fantasy golf team either way ;-)

      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.
