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

I'm so rooting for Day, but I just can't help be in awe if Rory keeps this up.

Day looks like he is struggling a bit.......maybe just trying to take it extra-slow, but what a shame he is dealing wwith this

Why are we getting a split screen of Rory's shot and Jason Day walking, Fox?

EDIT--Uh, it's still going.  Maybe another technical glitch?

EDIT--I guess this is to show how long Day's walk is. Kind of dumb.

I know,  Makes no sense.  Fox's whole coverage has been glitchy, nicest I can put it.

Pathetic move by Fox. They are watching Day walk the long path between holes. Hoping he falls?! What is the point.

I'm not ;)

Umm, slow play isn't isolated to the US Open ;) Its an issue on any tournament.

The course isn't unplayable. Heck there has been a lot more golf courses in the past that have played much harder.

Winning Score

Merion: +1

Olympic club: +1

Pebbly Beach: E

Oakmont: +5

Winged Foot: +5

This course has been very playable. You just have to know how to play it. You just can't play your typical, "I'll take dead aim with high ball flight and have the ball stop with in 30 FT from the pin." In some cases just hitting the green isn't a good shot. If you miss it left and you KNOW that hitting it left of the pin will get you a 60 yard pitch shot, don't hit it left of the pin. It's not a good shot.

I am putting this course on my bucket list. It looks fantastic. Country Club golf is just boring.


Great post!  The people on this forum that are bitching about Chambers Bay. Are really showing their golf intelligence. Here is a novel idea for the haters, don't watch it if it's not enough Country club for you.

Agreed. Pathetic move by Fox. They are absolutely hoping he falls.

      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.
