I volunteered for Shotlink duty at The Memorial this year. Has anyone ever done this at a tournament? Any advice?

Yes, I did back in 2004???, we thru our badges into a hat for player assignment, each badge was fished out in order of tee time assignment! I got woods on day one, along with Stuart Applbey and the Japanese guy who used to wear the cowboy hat. The following day was Rocco and newbie Ricky Barnes, Rocco wouldn't stop talking to everyone. Day 3 I had Darren Clark- he smoked like a chimney but boy could he stroke a golf ball. It's a good time but make no mistake you are working. I have some tiger stories of some of his shots that I was amazed at! being so close inside the ropes walking with him. You can't speak with the players. Everyone should do it once, come to think of it I would do it again.

I won't be walking with the groups. I'll be stationed with the laser by the ropes. The only op I would have to chat with a player is if they hit a bad shot. I don't think I want to chat with any of these guys if they are that far off the FW.

My friend did that, he was along the ropes with a tripod and Laser, another time he was in a tower on the back side of the green- he said he was bored to death.

also chatting or even speaking with players is forbidden- even of spoken to.

They definitely make that VERY clear about talking to the players. It's common sense to me.

      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.
