I'm pretty excited about this year's Shell Houston Open.  The field is probably the strongest since Doral, and The Masters aura is in the air.  This is the last chance for some of the players to earn their way to Augusta, and it's a chance for some of the top-ranked golfers to put an end to the "slightly mediocre" run on the PGA Tour of late.  Bring on a great leaderboard and Sunday finish!

I'd like to see Mahan do well, too. With his swing you would think he'd win more often.

looking for CHIII to win - he's been as consistent this season as about anyone out there

I'm going with the more obvious choice - Dustin Johnson. Every stroke play event he's played in the 2013-2014 season has been a top 10 result, including a win at a WGC event.

I didn't realize that Mahan withdrew from Bay Hill 2 weeks ago citing lower back pain. Hopefully he got that all taken care of.

It's tough to say what his major bane is on the course.

Here's his 2014 stats so far.

Does it ever make you a little mad knowing that guys like Paddy Harrington, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, and Henrik Stenson are teeing off within 30 mins....and you can't watch it anywhere?

When The Golf Channel doesn't have scheduling conflicts with another golf tournament going on that they are obligated to cover it does. It doesn't bother me too much on a Thursday or Friday morning because I can give them the benefit of the doubt that the crews are not set up yet.

What I really hate is when a scheduled weekend round is delayed and finished the next morning and it's obvious they could cover it because they occasionally cut away from some BS show and show a clip or two.

That tells me they have a crew there but either can't (due to contract obligations) or won't (because they are stupid) show the round.

I must say though that the most ridiculous thing I ever saw on The Gold Channel involved a European Tour event I was watching (which I very rarely do). It was tied at the end of regulation and I was actually looking forward to the playoff...Until they quit covering it to cut away to the start of a Nationwide Tour event.

I couldn't believe I had watched two hours of golf only to not be able to watch the finish.

Doesn't CBS.com stream the action? Guess not every tournament.

Not every tournament :-(

      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.
