if i was an announcer, i would refuse to refer to the fans as "patrons"...i wouldnt say "fans" but i'd use generic terms like "everyone" or "everybody" or "the people here".  so pretentious...

Hehe, they're pretty good at sniffing out insubordinate announcers... I'm not sure you would last long, although, I'd pay to hear you do it for a day, or at least, until they used a vaudeville hook to yank off the stage. :-P

PGATour.com's leader board seems to be lagging. Yahoo is updating much faster.. which is rare.

Masters.com has the best leaderboard. It's almost real time fast with the updates.

http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index.html

Simply put, there's no point in using any other leaderboard because their's is the best one :beer:

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 exclusive to masters.com right now.  Their leaderboard looks just like the wooden one on the 18th hole at the course.  Kinda cool.

I like the over/under style they have as well.

Maybe the word itself isn't pretentious, but the fact that we know that the Augusta people REQUIRE that they use only that word makes it pretentious.

Any other tournament where the announcer says "Second cut" doesn't sound pretentious at all.  But here, knowing full well that they are forbidden from saying "rough," makes it so.  Same with "first nine" and "second nine" in place of front and back.

Luke looks wooden out there.

I don't like the way his swing looks.  I'd take it if offered, but compared to some of the other pretty swings out there, his looks goofy.  It's something about the pose he finishes in that just looks odd to me.

Whhhhaaatt? You don't like the way his swing looks? His swing is way more looks than function, I think. And the function is still PGA Tour winning level.

OK fine, he does have a pretty weird hands thing he does through impact. Other than that it all looks so classic to me... and the tempo! Gorgeous.

Agree to disagree.

I love his swing but he looks robotic today. Maybe it's because he's playing with Bubba.

Guy's en fuego right now.

...Bubba that is.

Luke looks about as disgusted with his swing as @Golfingdad right now so maybe he's right :-P

Haha.  Just checked out the MASTER'S leaderboard and found that Streelman had nothing but 1s and 2s on his card, except for the first hole where he scored a 0 (zero).  That's mighty good golf and he should offer his services to North Korea where the Master there wants good golf.

Yeah, the MASTER'S is a load of pretentious crap.  Oh, i enjoy the golf and players well enough but the organizers are money and status morons.

That's fair.  But, yeah, if a genie came to me and said that I'd be gifted the swing of one PGA Tour player, AND that 100 other random people were getting the same wish, AND that we would all be gifted a different players swing, therefore, I was to list all of the PGA players swings that I'd like in order, 1 through 100 ... I know that Luke Donald would not be near the top of that list.  I don't know where he'd be, but he wouldn't be near the top. :beer:

      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.
