The Tiger Woods-Rory McIlroy lovefest kicked into full gear Monday , and the duo took their relationship to a new level when they did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge together.

They also were on the Tonight Show together. They seem to get along really well, which is cool to see.

EDIT: Wow, that article was a little snarky.

Not to be the cynic, but I wouldn't draw too many conclusions as to their personal relationship based on these appearances, they're co-workers on the job site. If Nike says, you guys are going to pal around this week for the cameras, that's what they'll do.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I agree with this, not that I think they dont like eachother but it's more of a co-worker thing in my opinion. Either way it was cool to see, I got a few chuckles out of it. :beer:

I think it is more than that.  You are such the cynics @Ernest Jones and @RonTheSavage !

Its a fair point, but I think with all the other videos of them hanging out lends some credibility to the idea. Can't know for sure, of course, but I think the evidence points more towards friendship than anything else.

@Ernest Jones is my BFF! Sorry :offtopic:

:-) I like you too, chicken legs and all! Lol.

Now if they start clubbing together or having BBQ ribs I might see the BFF angle but so far all I've seen is them making "appearances" together.

Lol@ The thought of Tiger & Rory eating BBQ ribs together.

    • 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.
