He didn't win because he didn't write ""I want to win a Callaway Big Bertha Driver""? Tough. Such a great guess as well.

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

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

We probably would have accepted his second entry (and just deleted his first) if he hadn't changed the scores in re-posting.

Correct, he changed the scores and that's what invalidated his entries.

If that's true, who ever is enforcing that rule, I wish you many years of a sexless marriage.

It's almost entirely the second entry with different scores that did it.

Preliminarily, it's @saevel25 with the win and @Yukari with second place. If anyone sees any differently, please post soon.

Haha, behave, if his first entry didn't count and was invalid, then it shouldn't matter what he put or changed, his first valid entry was Rory at -17..

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.

This era isn't going to be defined by a single player, and I'm fine with that. The key thing right now is that we're in a five-year run of great champions who will never appear on a "worst players to win a major" list. The generation of players burdened with the "next Tiger" expectations are playing the best golf of their careers in their early thirties, and the generation in their twenties has been very good from the beginning.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

His first entry wasn't invalid, he just needed to quote his post and add the "Big Bertha" text. Just as these guys did

http://thesandtrap.com/t/75362/2014-british-open-contest-win-a-callaway-big-bertha-driver/18#post_1010062

He didn't do that and modified the scores, invalidating his entry in the contest.

Congrats @saevel25 on the win.

I really wished the Open app had the ability to disable push notifications.

I went through every possible menu screen for the android but no "settings" menu was available.

      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.
