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.

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.

Oh of course. Same with me.

Elvy just said on one of the featured groups that Tiger's camp says he's "likely to be back by the end of the summer."

Ahhh. I remember I asked you that yesterday. Thanks for sharing. Wow, so maybe the PGA huh? Ouch. That.... stinks.

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.

Those numbers are his total score in the tournament, not his score for each hole.  He started off even, birdied 2, birdied 4, bogied 9, birdied 16, bogied 17, and parred the rest.

Its nice to be able to see what everybody does on every hole, even though you can't watch all of the holes.

Looks like Phil won't be making the cut. On 12, he just went from bunker to bunker to bunker and tripled it. DAMMMMMITTTT Phil.....

I told Dave this morning we should bet on him. He was 600:1 then.

And what's @Rick Martin have to say about that? Wasn't Weir in his list of people who shouldn't even be there?

If Mike Weir wins this would be the most shocking win ever in golf. Canadian golfers like myself would go nuts!

He won't. I don't even feel bad about not betting. Would have been a waste of $10.

Patrick Reed bogeyed 1&2. Plus 16, 17, & 18 last round. That's an unfortunate bogey train. Update: now bogeyed 3rd hole too. Ouch

    • 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.
    • 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.
