I'm having a hard time getting jazzed for this one after such a great Masters, even with JSpeed (just made that up, think it'll stick?) in the field. Got a weekend long volleyball tournament so probably won't even tape it.

The course should suit Spieth's game. Always a fan of this course and event, just wish it didn't fall on the Masters hangover week. Unless he's just totally spent and basically suicides himself to miss the cut get a break (don't at all think he would do this), then I still think he probably cards a top 10. He'll be tired, but he's 21 and is playing the best golf on the planet right now.

I love Hilton Head and have played HT more than a dozen times. I can’t make any predictions. We all know from TV coverage and any of you that have played it, you have to be an accurate iron player and good putter to win. PS. I’m not going to rant, but just make one comment. 82% of the posts in this thread are pure speculation and that’s cool. Ferg loves speculation as much as the next guy. Just try to not live in glass houses.

If you are too dumb to tell the difference then you deserve whatever fate befalls you here. ----- One of my favorite events of the year. I watch it all.

I think Speith is washed up... he's at +2... time for him to retire!

Can't say I'm surprised.

See how much life has changed for Jordan, he can no longer shoot a 74 and not have everyone get on his case about it. Godspeed young man!

Try doing what TW did for 15 years. All the demands. Then to keep your game sharp with all the media obligations and high expectations. That's why it's difficult to even imagine anyone taking over and becoming dominating in the sport like he was.  Sort of like the NBA after Jordan (although some could argue LeBron has done a good job at it).

Anyone else having troubles following the shot tracer at the PGA Tour website? Since yesterday I can't zoom in to the green, both on IE and Chrome.

Is he trying to copy Arnie in old age?

I feel like Russell Henley is going to do well this weekend.

I have to admit, I read this, then checked him out, put him on my pick at draftkings. I  have an awesome lineup and top 200 except this guy is killing me !

I was thinking about him after the masters and figured for a good week. +3 now - If he as much as par's the first 9 he will fold out the back 9 not making the cut.

This is where the big conversation about trying to win comes into play. If you are 2 -3 shots off of the cut line going into the back 9 and you are a millionaire, you don't WORRY about making the cut vs a 1980 player who NEEDS to make that cut to pay his bills.

And of course we got our first +8 injury...

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
