Hank Haney came to Tiger's defense in this report:

Hank Haney, Woods' former swing coach, who has been one of Woods' most vocal critics since they stopped working together in 2010, told the Golf Channel that he never saw anything out of the ordinary in Galea's treatment of Woods.

"I was there and watched the whole procedure," Haney said. "There was never anything that went into Tiger Woods 's body that didn't come out of his body. They take blood out, they spin it, they inject the plasma back in. I totally believe that Tiger Woods has never taken any performance-enhancing drugs."

Hank has been consistent on this issue, to his credit.

Also, that report is weird. It doesn't say that Tiger used PEDS, just that he paid a Galea and the other doctor for treatment. It's not quite the bombshell its being made out to be. I'm sure if the author had found any evidence of Tiger using PED's they would've explicitly said so.

And if Tiger DID do anything shady Hank Haney would've LOVED to break the news.

Yeah, I think this is a bit of a non-story. Folks wanting to create smoke where there is none.

Any athlete that performs at the top of their sport will now be questioned about PED's.  As a NY'er it was funny because for years people speculated that ARod used them, but the defense was he didn't show any of the normal signs in the way Bonds and others did.  As we learned, PED's aren't just about getting bigger and stronger they are also beneficial to healing and recovery.

I suspect the PED's cloud will always surround Tiger, much as it did for ARod and Lance Armstrong since it's impossible to prove they didn't take them and there's always the possibility that at some point someone will come out with proof that they did.

It's good to see Haney take the high road with Tiger this time.

Want some clicks on your article, stick Tiger's name in the headline. That's basically all I saw there.

      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.
