Rory 360 yds off 16th tee - awesome

Golf kept me close to my father during the four years in the 1960's that I worked for him on weekends as his caddy. I didn't play then, but later did start playing once he insisted "it was time". It's been a joy ever since.

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

Well it was not as bad as the Us Open, at least there was some(teeny tiny bit) of back nine drama. Still, absolutely no 72nd hole fireworks, haven't really been any 72nd hole fireworks since last years Masters

I've been real impressed with Rickie today. Putting looks excellent, has held his composure. Maybe a little less pressure on him since he started out 6 back of Rory, but still, he has looked very good today.

Two guys, three back, two to go. OB looms on 18, but with a three-stroke lead Rory hits three irons on that hole, I think.

What happened

Just hit a low chaser to 18 feet or so into 17.

Rickie's hit too many shots right lately. 16, now 17. Not great. Has to hope for a good lie. Sergio has to make his putt.

Rory with an iron. Makes for a long hole…

W-E-A-K by Garcia. Wow. You're three back and you do that?

Rickie's lie was pretty good. Hopefully can make par, and Rory's not dead for par either.

So is it really gonna be Rory for the next decade? Or is he actually gonna have some competition from the youngsters? I need more out of Spieth before I will crown him like TGC has.

      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.
