Ouch!    Wait until Tiger aces it in his 60s, some 15 year earlier than Jack did.

The glutes joke is never going to get old (to me anyway), so I am going to reserve the right to use it as often as possible (especially since it is still fresh in 2015 isn't it?). :) Furthermore, exc

Watched Bill Horschel on the range.  He putts with the heel up/toe down.

Very interesting.  I wonder it's because the greens are too fast?

The greens are not too fast. they are just have severe slope to them. If they ran at some of the US Open speeds then no ball would stay on the green.

The Masters absolutely has the best online access to actually watching the tournament. Watching some of the coverage today. I prefer watching it online than on TV.

Absolutely, I love being able to watch Amen Corner or 15 and 16 online.

It was said yesterday the greens going into this tournament are a lot slower than they were the last couple years. They had a lot of rain the other day, so it wouldn't surprise me to see someone go 64 or 65 before the day's over. Guys are making the turn at -3 and -4 and the back nine is very vulnerable after 12. If you don't go under par today, you have a big hill to climb. Even Tom Watson's a couple under.

My Vegas ticket is on DJ and Spieth. I still like DJ's chances the most. I'm looking for him to beat up these par-5s on the back nine today. Still think the softer the greens, the more I expect McIlroy to contend. I'm surprised he's off to a slow start today.

Anyone else have a choppy feed, like it's buffering? Our internet is 20 mbps download (just tested), which is way more than enough to stream this.

edit: They're using flash player for some absurd reason. So, that's probably contributing to it.

Nope... rock solid for me here on my desktop, hardwired to my cable modem, and I don't have anywhere near 20 mbps.  I set my laptop up in the kitchen on wi-fi and it was a bit choppy while it was downloading some windows updates, but once that was done the Masters feed was smooth.

Hoffman looking strong at -5. Had a feeling about him. Took him with my third choice. No chance he'll finish, but right now really solid.

Took -6 as the final winning score.  There better be a wind storm.

LOL sorry about that.. Yeah it looks like it might be closer to 10-12 than 6.

      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.
