Boring?  BORING?  Mike & Mike, Mad Dog Radio, etc etc how could these guys even use the word?  Did these sportscasters even watch the tournament, or did they tune in for the last 3 holes and expec

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 wouldn't say I enjoy seeing Furyk (or anybody for that matter) play poorly ... but I don't get terribly excited about watching him do well either.  For me, its not so much the swing, or even the logos, its the putting routine.  His putting routine gets on my nerves for some reason.

I won't root against anybody** but I won't really root for some either ... Furyk is one of those.

** That's a lie. ;-) I do root against players who are threatening to run away with the tournament on Sunday.  I want exciting finishes, so when one guy is up 2 with two to play, for example, I'll root for him to bogey 17 if the other guy doesn't birdie it. :beer:

Olesen just bladed a chip. I don't think I've even seen a tour pro do it. At least not like that must have been 50' past the hole.

Anyone who fakes you out by looking ready, then backing off to repeat the same thing again and again - drives me batsh$t insane, gorgeous swing or ugly swing.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Yeah, that's part of it.  He does that several times, then misses the putt, then looks confused, then does it again!

Duffy is killing me today. He better have Amanda work out his kinks and come back on fire tomorrow. Or, abstain like a true gladiator and take out his rage on the field! Something, anything!

Ouch,  that was ugly to watch for Dufner...

:-(

I didn't get to see it, just the putt for quad. I assume he put it in the drink multiple times?

      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.
