The Old White TPC has been the Greenbrier’s host ever since the tournament replaced the Buick Open on the schedule in 2010.

The Old White TPC features a par-3 finishing hole measuring 175 yards. The first three winners of the tournament birdied it in the final round. Stuart Appleby not only won the inaugural edition in 2010 with a 2, but it secured just the fifth 59 (of six) in PGA TOUR history. Both Scott Stallings (2011) and Ted Potter, Jr. (2012) connected for birdies on the final hole of regulation, and then survived playoffs for their maiden titles. Both Blixt and Cabrera parred the closer before walking off with the trophy.

Also Tiger's in the field.

Quote:
"We’ve got to have Tiger," Jim Justice, owner of the Greenbrier, said after Woods committed to playing at his tournament for the first time since 2012, according to Roanoke.com . "Tiger is one of the biggest stars in all of sport, and he brings significant attention to any event he enters."
Certainly, "taking the waters" in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., couldn’t hurt the struggling superstar, who may want to try something new to revive his sputtering career after he posted the highest 36-hole score of his career at Chambers Bay and missed his first U.S. Open cut since 2006.

You know your expectations are low for Tiger when you open up The leaderboard on your phone and start looking from the bottom up for him cause you expect to see him down there. So this is a pleasant s

Did Tiger do well with the long stick? Bogey on a par 5, and a double or he'd be near the top... and I don't mean Amanda's top.

That's not fair to Ol' Vijay, he's like a million years old. :-D Maybe Justin Leonard! You know, I really don't know why, but when I google "Justin Leonard" I get a bunch of a pictures of a dude in underwear. I really hope it's not just me

May not be the best place for this comment, but didn't want to start another thread........I have been watching the PGA Professional National Championship the last few days and while I know these guys are all very accomplished golfers, the talent difference between them and PGA Tour players is substantial....this is more of a statement of just how good PGA Tour players really are compared to the rest of the crop.

Anyway.........I will take Tiger against JD, and am calling for Tiger to put two consecutive rounds in the 60s to start.......68-69...............JD shoots 72-71

I'd watch for Ryo Ishikawa to have a good tourney,he still needs to qualify for the Open..

Tiger playing with Stricker should make him feel comfortable.Love to see Daly do well,depends if he turns up hungover or not????

I'm looking for Bubba to play well, he has a home on the course. He said that he enjoys sleeping in his own bed and getting up to play..Gonna be some major bills dropped in the casino apparently Shaq is going to show up.

The atmosphere is very college football tailgate. Swap out your WVU hat and put on your Callaway

I started him today in fantasy golf but I'm a little worried about his putting today. He putts mediocre on soft slow greens...always leaves it short. Kind of wish I would have started Bill Haas but whatevs.

      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?
