Fun stat: Jack has shot in the 80s sixteen times as a pro, six of which came before the age of 40. His highest rounds were a pair of 82s. Golf is hard, and the golfing gods are reminding us of

Sorry for the massive picture dump (well, "massive" is an overstatement). The 18th is down from seven bunkers on the right to only three. I snagged some of the plastic Memorial tees

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard Tiger say "I got stuck between patterns", I'd prolly make more money than he has this year. So sick and tired of hearing him say that.

It's actually a running joke between my friend and I for over a year.. When ever I don't play well, which is often, I say, well I am changing my swing, what do you expect! ;)

That was a pretty amazing performance by Rose on the 72nd hole...drive into a bunker, hit someone in the gallery with your approach shot and knock him to the ground, go up there and deal with him, turn around and hit a great pitch, then sink a knee-knocker of a putt to force the playoff.  He had a lot going on there and showed some real focus.

Congrats and kudos to Lingmerth.  The kid bucked the pressure and kept it together all weekend to stay in contention, then held his own against a determined, seasoned veteran in the playoff and ground out a good win!

[ETA:] How about the Erik Compton story?  That has to be the most amazing story of the entire weekend: http://www.cbssports.com/golf/eye-on-golf/25207898/erik-compton-randomly-met-the-aunt-of-the-person-whose-heart-he-has

I was there Thursday as a spectator and Friday working Shotlink on #7. Tiger's ball flew right over our heads and was the only player to hit one outside of the ropes off the tee that day. I was joking about the short bunker in front of us that nobody would hit, but then Justin Leonard put it in. Camillo's ball landed 3' from me as I was curled up in the fetal position waiting for it to hit me in the bum. I helped John Huh find his ball in the opposite rough since the marshal wasn't paying attention. It's good that I saw it bounce and land because you could hardly see this ball standing right over it. Not even a thank you... The highlight of the day was marking DJ's measly 352 yard drive.

I didn't get many pictures given the phone and camera policies, but I did sneak a few.

Cink's ball. Gotta love the rough there.

Shot of the 18th green from the pavilion.

My hole early Friday morning getting prepped. It's amazing to watch. All bunkers are hand raked. Fairways are mowed and then a team of guys go over it with blowers to get rid of any clippings. The rough is NOT mowed, but I imagine you would need a powerful mower with very sharp blades. The greens were mowed and rolled in the morning AND the afternoon after play. Finally, the rough is combed with a rake to remove tire tracks from equipment.

As I was walking across the fairway back to my car, I grabbed a closeup. So pure...

No. That is the marshal's job. If this guy wasn't chatting with his friends outside the ropes, he may have seen it. Our job is to shoot the balls so they get reported back to TV talking heads. They don't care about a vast majority of shots, but when Tiger sprays one left, they are immediately on the radio trying to figure out where it is.

"Control to 7 short. Where is the shot on Tiger's ball?"

"7 short to control. We will have to wait until the hoards of people leave to take the shot."

They were on the radio A LOT looking for Tiger's balls. He definitely got the grand tour of Muirfield Village last week. ;-)

      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?
