Congratulations to Chris and any association he has with 5SK and @iacas and @mvmac and @david_wedzik . Chris is a bright guy and should do okay with Tiger.-Probably as smart as Foley at least without the rigamarole and weird mystical vibey stuff.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

@jclark He was being snarky given the Jenkins piece. I don't think that's true. 1) There's no reason to. It's one of 10 or 15 accreditations he has earned, inc

You can start here: The game got more competitive. Players need every edge they can find. That's not to say you can't be seduced by things and go too far down the rabbit hole.

These days, Hank Haney's only access to the spotlight is by commenting on the "State of Tiger." The more professional approach would have been to compliment Como, wish Tiger luck and leave it at that.

That dude charges 1500 for a half day! People will probably be willing to pay it now he instructs one of the best golfers ever.

I'd be interested to know how exactly tiger came to the conclusion that he wanted to work with Chris Como. Anybody have any idea, knowledge on that?

Some of his players partner with Grant Waite. So this dude is some how affiliated with Grant Waite. That's pretty cool.

Looks like he didn't plan ahead before it was announced, nor I think he cares at the moment! [quote name="iacas" url="/t/72993/tiger-woods-master-catch-all-thread-was-injury-thread/630_10#post_1077993"] Won't happen, and that's why you're wrong. :) Let's keep this discussion to this thread. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/78283/chris-como-named-tigers-new-coach]http://thesandtrap.com/t/78283/chris-como-named-tigers-new-coach[/URL] The catch-all thread is more for general little stuff. [/quote] You know better than myself regarding the arrangement you guys have with him, so yeah I guess I defer to your opinion. However, if it comes out then you can't disagree that the windfall could be nice for 5sk and lsw as a matter of fact! Look at what happened to his site.. ;) Edit: by windfall I mean exposure first and then everything else second

I'm willing to bet Notah Begay had something to do with it. I believe he introduced them.

That's not much compared to celebrity movie star world, but for the golf world, a not trivial amount.

Apparently Chris is big into bio-mechanics so I have to assume that has a lot to do with this choice, considering Tiger's injury history.

I wonder if he's going to have to give up being a guest contributor to Golf Digest?

I think he could still contribute.

I have only seen a couple of Como's videos and he seems to like more of a laid off position with a bowed type wrist in transition.

That's interesting. As a 5SK instructor I wonder why these things would be important to him? 3 questions for @iacas or @mvmac - It was implied that Como would not be mentioning 5SK publicly any time soon - why is that? Does Como do anything with putting? AimPoint perhaps? How will Como tackle Tiger's driver woes?

Woods was pretty successful under Hank Haney's tuition. Now correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Como work for Haney at one time? Might be a good way to use some of Haney's techniques on Tiger's swing. Of course like a lot of folks I think most of Tiger's problems are in his mind, and the rest in his physical health. I think his swing is just fine when he is healthy, and just does it. So if Como can get him thinking correctly, and Tiger stays healthy, he just might make it back to being a player to be reckond with again.

Haney again appears sour and bitter when asked about giving the new coach advice. Stating expectations are pretty low at this point for coaching Tiger...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
