I think this is Rickie Fowler's week. All the changes he has made with Butch, I think more wins will start happening. He has played pretty well this year and I just think its his time to get another w

Kaymer's been showing signs the past few weeks of getting his form back. He really went through a major swing change and it might finally be paying off.

No love for Speith? Amazing how consistent and calm his game is at such a young age.  I keep waiting for the flash to dissipate, and the next week there he is again.  I'm really becoming a fan.

When it comes to Sawgrass, I look for whoever is near the top of the total driving stats on tour. I expect a big week for Louis Oosthuizen, who leads the tour in that statistic so far in 2014.

4 over through 6 :(

I like Louis, hoping he figures things out.

Ya I agree, the greens look fine to me. I think the media blew this story up a little too much. I don't see any balls bouncing around or anything. Sure you can see some spots that don't look good, but its very sparce, and not affecting play.

The maintenance crews really did a fine job with the course considering all thats happened.

Surely the media would never blow something out of proportion. #sarcasm

Kuchar just hit a bad shot into the green and said, "Jimmie Crickets.". They really need to something about the potty mouths on tour.

      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.
