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

If Spieth wins this is he ahead of where Tiger was at his age?

Yes. Tiger didn't have two majors at age 22, and Jordan turns 22 next month. Tiger's first major win was the '97 Masters. He wouldn't win another until he won the [S]2000 U.S. Open by 15.[/S] 1999 PGA. [i]Edit[/i] to get the right second major.

You forgot the 99 PGA.

You are correct; yes I did. I should have said: Tiger's first major win was the '97 Masters. He wouldn't win another until he won the 1999 PGA.

Yes. Spieth didn't go to college as long as Tiger either. [quote name="Shindig" url="/t/81357/2015-u-s-open-at-chambers-bay-discussion-thread/1500#post_1158533"] Yes.

The only good thing I can say about Fox is that I don't recall any of their announcers using the phrase "flair for the game."

Sure this course isn't in South Africa? Three South Africans in the top-6. Gary Player must be proud.

Gary Player thinks this course doesn't deserve a S African champion. ;)

The number of putts DJ just didn't make today is crazy. I can't believe he is going to let this one get away. I thought today was his day.

I'm a little curious to know of Chambers Bay had the bluegrass infestation at the time they chose it for the open. Then I might think that the USGA could deserve a little criticism. About the only way to get rid of that weed once it's entrenched is to tear up the greens and start over. Which isn't going to happen on a muni course like CB.

      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.
