Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Always makes me feel a little better about the game ( or how difficult it is) when the pros screw up like that.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

On one hand I feel bad that the crowd isn't close to the action but there is a considerable decrease in "baabaa booeys" and "get in the holes"...

Get in the hole is so old and so juvenile. I wish they'd permanently ban any one who says that from all future events.

It's not the poa they are complaining about its that the fescue greens got some poa that invaded it causing the bumpy greens

With that said, the greens are obviously not perfect but the course looks cool and it's been a great tournament. I'm really enjoying the open this year even with all the controversy

Nice first post. :-) That's what it is,  the poa grows in these conditions and the fescue stays dormant. This is what you get in the NW this time of year.

I'm a little surprised that Coetzee was permitted to switch to a driver of different make and specs mid-round. I would have thought he would need to replace it with the same make and model. I'm also a little surprised that his sponsor wasn't on hand to get a replacement in the bag. What happens if he has the best driving day of his life with that Cally? Lol...awkward...

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I was just about to say the same! In this day and age when manufacturers are putting equipment out in seconds notice there was no rep for him? Also, what's with Reed wearing shirts and pants two sizes too big? lol

I don't know what happened with his driver (I missed that part), but if your club is damaged in the course of play, you can replace it with any other legal club as long as doing so doesn't unduly delay play. He could have asked for a 64 degree wedge instead if he wanted. I'm very surprised his sponsor wasn't there for him though. Same as when Tiger broke an iron against a tree at the Masters a few years ago. You'd think they'd stick around until every player with any of their clubs is off the course... just in case.

Often, they have to get to the next site and be there for Monday-Wednesday. They might also want to go home for a day or two. Further complicating things, at The Memorial, for example, Jack doesn't allow equipment vans to be on site, so they send a skeleton set of stuff out and that's all they've got.

Pros don't often break stuff and need instant replacements.

All good points. That makes sense; for the past decade (the entire time I've watched golf), I can only think of it happening three times anyway, and one wouldn't have been able to get a replacement anyway (because he didn't notice it until he had played a stroke with the damaged club).

There's a bunch of guys on the course today posting 67 and 66. Not sure how much tougher the conditions will be in a few hours, but it looks like someone from the leaders group will need to get to -7 to win this thing.

      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.
