And Lydia Ko... 29 straight rounds under par followed by 3 straight rounds over par.  What the hell!  She's starting a new streak.

Hopefully it's just that she wasn't comfortable on that particular course. I'd hate to see her go in a slump, but it happens to everyone sooner or later.

Maybe she had Celiac disease? And is playing better now that she is healthy?

She stated that she had stomach issues that led to poor performance on the course and since going gluten free ... from her video

The pure rage in her eyes is pretty normal.

I always get the feeling that Lewis is a sore loser and always seems to be angry. She is by far my least favorite player on the tour.

I like Stacy Lewis. She's not a sore loser, she's ultra competitive. She never criticizes her opponents, she is hard on herself. I fail to see why having a focused demeanor is a bad thing.

She changed her swing, changed her exercise habits and changed her diet. It's made a huge difference in her life. She's feeling better, hitting it longer and she's playing great.

Okay. Stomach issues-fine. I just do not get the number of people who are going gluten free just for the heck of it-People who have no issues eating a piece of bread or whatever and then going gluten free because it is trendy or whatever. @Ferguson I asked only about the gluten free stuff-Not her swing, exercise etc. Your answer did not even address the question. @Mr. Desmond responded better to a question posed to you than you did.

Agreed. Perhaps if she was not so hard on herself, she might have let go of those putts.

Wish her well.

Stacy really is a class act, and playing great golf right now, with Lydia Ko looking a little tired we could see a new #1 soon.

I agree with these.  I was a little amazed at the contrast between her obvious bitter disappointment, when they showed her in the clubhouse with her head down - looked like there may have been tears - and her composure in the interview just minutes later.  And while the interviewer tried to make a bigger thing out of the bad break on landing in the divot, she made no excuses.

And I personally liked the contrast between their demeanors.  It is nice when the players do not look like robots and the dichotomy of the super intense player and the more easy going player is a long standing one.  Arnie/Jack, Phil/Tiger, Snead/Hogan.  The contrast has always made for great drama and interest.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Totally agree. Hate robots. I want to see emotion.

It's one of the reasons I've never cared - in fact, the opposite - about Tiger's reactions, both positive and negative.

It was good to see Morgan Pressel playing well again. And, she's gluten free.

Wait, are glutens good or bad for golf? Tiger withdrew when his glutens weren't present, and now Morgan Pressel deliberately omits them?

What is there to dislike Stacey Lewis?   Honestly, I think most Lewis haters are the ones expecting a "nicer" behavior from a female player.   E.g., never slam the club in anger, don't show overly disappointing gesture after a missed shot, ....    They'd prefer everyone to behave like Asian born players, accepting bad shots with a smile or giving no reaction.   No fist pumps.   No throwing clubs.  I think that's kind of boring.   I'd like to see some personality come out instead of the LPGA commentators making things ups (oh, so and so's hobby is shopping, and cooking - give me a break!).

OTOH, the young Korean players coming in now are showing some life.  I saw Hana Jang's fist pumps after each good shot and that was refreshing, coming from a Korean born player.

If I were to pick a specific instance, her getting her panties in a bunch about that 12 year old playing the US Open, rather than being happy for her, she just brought the whole celebration down. Based off her interviews and body language, I just know she'd be too intense for me to get along with.

It makes you wonder if she's even truly happy playing golf.

      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?
