On air now! I think. Will try and stream myself in a bit. The schedules below conflict, but you get the idea...

Edit: I was wrong, not on now. Looks like 4pm.

I'm watching it right now. I'm rooting for the Ricky Barnes look-a-like swing-a-like or Taiwan's own Cheng-Tsung Pan.

I think it's on until Saturday or Sunday. I'd recommend going. It'll be pretty cool & get to see some future stars of golf.

Some 36 year old dude has reached the quarterfinals. Would be pretty interesting if he went further.

Assuming you are talking about two time Mid Amateur Champion, two time (3 time?) Walker Cup player Nathan Smith from Pittsburgh. He's a +4 handicap and can really play.

This is what's great about almost everyone having a video camera on their person.

Gunn Yang claimed the US Amateur on the 35th hole. Koreans seem to kick ass in the US AM. Danny Lee & Byeong Han An both won. Neither have done jack shit since.

Yep. Yang looked like he hit the ball a long ways, though. Which I think Danny Lee did too. It will be interesting to see how he progresses.

Yang ranked 776, had back surgery 15 months ago, recently lost scholarship to San Diego State. Boom! Wins amateur. All is well. Talk about highs and lows. http://mobile.golfweek.com/news/2014/aug/17/amateur-golf-gunn-yang-wins-2014-us-amateur/?templates=mobile http://www.golfchannel.com/news/ryan-lavner/yang-completes-improbable-journey-us-am-title/

    • 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.
    • 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.
