Johnny Miller, explaining how to hit a shot off a concrete cart path.... ......"you have to try to slide the club face right under the ball." Really Johnny? REALLY?!. :doh:

Spieth handling G-mac just fine. However, McDowell ALWAYS seems to come alive on the back 9 in match play.

Fowler/Walker look like toast. Walker lost his mojo it seems. Didn't expect that from him. Looks like we need Furyk and Mahan to get hot.

They also ran into a tough opponent. McDowell/Dubuisson are on fire. Just like I was surprised Watson didn't play Spieth/Reed yesterday, I'm surprised McGinley didn't play G-Mac/Dubuisson more often. Both played really well in the Match Play in March.

haha yeah. I'm impressed. Like I said in the other thread, this is the one week out of the year I root hard for him and become a Reed fan. Would have liked to see him and Spieth play all four rounds.

We can't lose 3 of these 4. If we do, we're going have to do what Europe did 2 years ago and I don't see that happening. This is a crucial moment in the Ryder Cup right now.

Definitely. We need two points bad. Then tomorrow is shaping up to be awesome. However, if Europe gets three points, that will be extremely difficult. Z. Johnson just made a nice putt!

Just look at their match play history. They both played really well in the Match Play this year and have a good match play history in other Cup appearances.

Just wanted to say (see youedit your post): Dubuisson was very good in world match play, and in EurAsia Cup also won his fourballs match (with.... Joost Luiten :-P)

This Johnson/Kuchar match is HUGE. Need to win.

Yeah, I edited because I wasn't entirely sure of their Cup history and didn't want to be wrong. I thought they've played well in match play before, but don't have the stats in front of me to look up.

Good news is that 3 matches are on the back 9 and the margin is only 1UP for all 3. US could conceivably go on a roll here and run the tables. Bad news is that the Euros could too, and put this thing outta reach most likely.

I don't see us winning that McIlroy match. Rory is hot this afternoon. Only hope is Sergio starts choking.

With Stenson Europe would be up in all four matches perhaps. Hope his back problems wont bother him tomorrow. Garcia, damn..

I think Kooch and Zacko are going to get at least a halve out of their match, and hopefully the rookies hold off Rose and Kaymer. 9-7 Europe at the end of the day?

That would be best scenario at this point.

USA in trouble on that hole; instead of playing save Garcia goes for it and misses the green.

Technically, Furyk/Mahan are still very much in their match, but it's hard to see the breaks going their way, although Sergio's starting to play head games with himself.

      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.
