Have the feeling that if you're not  a tad under par after 36, you're not making the cut. And if you're on the cut line, you'll be out of it.

Tiger? Buehler?

Spieth right there in contention and Tiger has a bad round.

*yawn. What else is new. Same ole, same ole. Wake me up when Tiger's actually in contention again (that may be a while).

Well, the Duff Man is back! So it seems anyway. I'd love to see this be his first win after the divorce.

Excited to see that. And just in time for the Open. For a lot of these guys (like Tiger), this is their tuneup for Chambers Bay. If you want any sort of confidence whatsoever for the big one, you need to find something in your game this week. That's why I'm hoping Tiger makes the cut. If you can't make the cut here on a course that's playing easier than ever, you're screwed at Chambers Bay.

Tiger quickly out of the gate with 2 birdies through 2 holes today, bringing him back inside the cut line.  You could hear the roar from his crowd on the featured group coverage.

i think his second shot jsut now went 6 feet 3 inches. according to the play by play. still has a chance at par.

edit - wonky shot tracker.  he hit a poor second but not that bad,.

and he makes par.

So this is what I don't understand....Tiger Woods doesn't play hardly any tournaments the last two months but says he's been working "hard" on his game at home yet comes out and can't hit a ball in the fairway. What's worse is he's missing it both sides...a sign his game is a mess, not "close" like he claims. Either he hasn't really been working much the last couple months or Tiger's game is in a lot worse shape than we think. Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth continues to play unbelievable golf.

That is a front 9 33 for Tiger on Friday.  Will be interesting to see if he can gain a few more strokes, or if he implodes on the back 9.  Wouldn't mind seeing him get to around -5 and a chance to get in the mix come Saturday, even though I'm no Tiger (well, Tiger Woods that is) fan.

Surprised this tournament doesn't get much more attention on here - it's good fun and lots of great golf being played on a pretty course. As a biased Englishman, nice to see Sullivan and Rose up there with Matsuyama as well

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

    • 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?
