He is so used to it it probably doesn't bother him.

It clearly bothered him.

When will the media come to a consensus and call it either Hoylake or Royal Liverpool?

Rory is sporting the worst hat ever...

Tiger just ripped a 3 wood down 18 into the wind 300 yards. I'm not sure what the game plan was today but he literally hit his driver today like an 8 handicap.  Nike needs to build him a franke

By all accounts, he doesn't like playing overseas.

Hopefully his flight home doesn't have a layover at Charles de Gaulle.

I'm not a Bubba fan or hater, but it's amazing to me how he pretty much decides before each major whether or not he will be a factor.  He pretty much checked out of the U.S. Open and Open Championship before teeing it up.  That's pretty unfortunate because there's no reason his game shouldn't match up to just about every course in the world.

The leaderboard looks really strong after day one, and I hope it continues that way throughout the weekend.  I'm pulling for Sergio to break through and win a major, and if he doesn't get it done, Rickie Fowler is always a great choice!  It will be interesting to see if McIlroy can buck the trend of shooting a bad number on Friday after a great number on Thursday.

Pretty much my view also. Great players adapt, Bubba seems to have a small problem with that. With his talent, I would hope he will turn things around, and play those courses as best he can.

I'm hoping for Sergio to get up there too, but at around 7 under for the tourney...and the win.. :-D

Guy was good enough to qualify for the British Open but shot 90-Wonder if @GHIN0011458 is going to start thread about that.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

Okay, let's let that go. I think @GHIN0011458 was the only person suggesting that whole line of discussion, and it's two months old now.

But I'd be lying if I didn't notice the 90 and think similarly. :P Difference is I thought it only.

I couldn't believe the lack of energy and chemistry in the Ernie, Bubba, Phil group. That grouping was a poor one for all of them, I think.

Notice he pulled it together and finished with a string of pars. I thought that was pretty solid. He had to want to cut his own throat with a sand wedge....!

I didn't see anything today that would convince me that Tiger's gonna back up.... ....sadly. ;-) I think McIlroy and Scott stay strong, and Rose and Spieth make up a little ground too. I think it's gonna be a rock fight, and a helluva day! Agree. Cut feels like +1 or +2......and I say Tom Watson plays the weekend! :-)

Seems like Tiger and Rory will have to deal with some wind and rain in the afternoon. I'm predicting Adam Scott who's at -4 and playing in the morning will be in the lead at the end of tomorrow at -6. Tiger shoots 72 and Rory will shoot 74.

      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.
