http://hotlinks.golf.com/2014/07/09/video-jesper-parnevik-breaks-rib-in-segway-accident/?sct=hp8 [QUOTE]Jesper Parnevik has a quirky sense of humor, so it’s sometimes hard to figure what he finds funny. Take this video Parnevik, a five-timer winner on the PGA Tour, posted of a recent Segway ride gone sideways and a spill that left him with a broken rib. “Haha, of all injuries I’v had, this is the most ridiculous!! Broke a rib and had to withdraw from all events this month,” Parnevik said in the caption.[/QUOTE]

Google Segway and accident and many hits. Lots of people can't immediately get used to the self balancing feature.

When I was in fourth or fifth grade, one of the inventors of the Segway (or he could have been a financier or something) did a presentation at my elementary school. Never got to actually ride the thing, which was tortuous to a group of nine-year-olds.

I got to ride one of the prototypes when I worked building circuit boards. The are decievably quick. They can go as fast as 17, that's what we were told.

Yup, totally dangerous. Almost every major city had banned them within a week of their release. Funny, considering the inventor's original idea was to create a new mode of urban transportation.

I used to ride them down in Walt Disney World. They had governors on theirs so they wouldn't exceed 6mph. Still, one lady on a tour fell (which was weird, because it was towards the end of the tour, so it's not like she couldn't handle it or anything). I don't think they have them anymore.

I'd still own one if I ever got the chance.

He's lucky he just busted a rib based on his full weight landing on the handle.  If a broken rib is as painful and slow to heal as torn cartilage between the ribs then he's going to miss more than a month.

      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.
