I think Tiger believes that the warm embrace from the players, fans, and media at Augusta are somehow going to make up for the shortcomings of the past several months. They won't. He has the yips. You don't get over the yips.

Can you explain this further? I'm not sure how Tiger being friendly with fellow players and his kids is about making up his "shortcomings" with the yips.

That's how you categorize a top-20 finish coming back from an injury and no competitive rounds for 9 weeks? Okay then.

Watched some coverage last evening. El Tigre looked relaxed and ready. He'll make the cut and finish in the top 20.

146 is too low for the cut, remember it's low 50 and ties and those within ten strokes of the leader... not way out of line, if you said par (144), was going to be the cut... I would say you are nuts.

No, not really. He may have the yips, but him having the yips doesn't prove that he was trying to distract people from him having the yips by being friendly.

Yeah because of the angle, I can't tell the difference. I know Mvmac mentioned in one of the threads that there is a difference.

All I know is that he was using the bounce like a pro yesterday. Looked so comfortable.

Look at the difference with how much the shaft has "loaded". Yes definitely using the bounce.

I think Tiger believes that the warm embrace from the players, fans, and media at Augusta are somehow going to make up for the shortcomings of the past several months. They won't. He has the yips. You don't get over the yips.

If he had the yips he wouldn't be able to hit the shots he did yesterday. It would have shown up even in practice.

monday that stunt with firing balls at two greens he wasn't getting very many close at all. And do you think the golf channel would dare show any of his chunky chips (or talk about them) this week, like they did so endlessly leading up to the tournament, when it was deemed news people wanted to see and hear about? the media has no loyalties, they do an about face when it serves their purpose.

You might wanna check the GCTigerTracker, because according to them, he shot three or four under in eleven holes. Seems pretty good to me.

Also, you can't say that the media has no loyalties, and then say that they wouldn't show him chunking chips. That makes no sense.

on which ball? and was he playing o'meara for money? it was also reported he shot in the low-60s at Medalist with his 'worst ball', which even Notah Begay said was unbelieveable.

whether i say it the way i said it, or in reverse, it still applies.

Read about it: http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/just-old-times-vintage-woods-display-monday/ .

it was also reported he shot in the low-60s at Medalist with his 'worst ball', which even Notah Begay said was unbelieveable.

66 worst ball. Notah said he texted Tiger after hearing Rosaforte's report and Tiger confirmed he shot a worst-ball 66.

These are all things you can look up.

Also, Tiger hasn't shown even the slightest display of the chipping yips yet. And you haven't yet explained what hugging old friends has to do with that anyway…

I have several links to tweets (because I have no f'ing idea how to embed tweets on here because I am a dumb idiot) that will show you his effectiveness on Monday.

Notah texted Tiger to confirm because he didn't believe Rosaforte's report. Only after Tiger told him so, did Notah believe it. Notah was a pro once too.

3-under in eleven holes in a practice round with O'Meara does not a tournament make. Mark will be nowhere near him when the tournament starts.

the report failed to mention his opening drive, which was 45 yards left and on the 9th hole, so it wasn't flawless. it was totally biased.

Lol, pretty sure he birdied that though.....

And I saw many reports eluding to the drive being ungodly left.

      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.

      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?
