Doesn't that graphic kinda contradict the title of the article? I guess it wouldn't work if the URL was: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/11011019/Tiger-Woods-must-change-his-swing-and-take-pressure-off-his-back-plus-both-achilles-his-left-knee-his-left-calf-his-left-tibia-his-neck-his-left-elbow-and-oh-he-had-LASIK-eye-surgery-twice-so-make-sure-his-swing-doesn't-affect-that-if-he-is-to-save-career-claims-Sir-Nick-Faldo.html :-D

Don't see any contradictions. Tiger's swing is causing him medical issue, and the graphic illustrates his body is falling apart and that he needs to avoid further medical issues at all cost.

As a side note, what a pointed money line from Chamblee this is ...

“Woods reminds me of an ageing Hollywood actor who has had too much plastic surgery,” the Golf Channel analyst said.

Yikes!

Is it his current swing causing issues now, or simply old injuries coming back? That he gets hurt while playing golf doesn't mean it's because of a bad swing and that he would've avoided it with a different one.

We forget that Tiger has beens swinging from the age of three or even earlier?? small wonder he is having problems Check out roofers back or welders eyesight His father had him full time swinging long before his frame was fully developed and he has done brilliantly to get this far without serious long term damage

Ha ha. They just wanted an excuse to post the graphic.

I wonder how the graphic would look for JN, AP or GP. Player was in good shape though, I would think he had the least number of injuries.

      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.
