What does Alt mean? Alternate to play in sectionals? Anyone know who his instructor in Florida is? Interesting he plays lefty (righty in tennis) and Nadal plays golf righty, tennis, lefty.

That's exactly what it means, he's an alternate to get into sectionals if somebody bails.

That's awfully impressive.  Modern professional tennis requires an enormous amount of time and dedication, and to be that good a golfer simultaneously is astounding.  Remember that tennis isn't like golf.  Winning six ATP tour events and reaching the QF's in three of the four slams isn't something you can do as just another guy on tour.  There are no Shaun Micheels in tennis.

And he had to deal with health issues - his heart.

      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.
