Just can't follow up a good round with another one. He's still got a ways to go. Need consistency before you can even think about winning against the big boys in a major.

He's only four back of Venezuelan Tiger.

Yeah, he got away with not playing all that great on the back. Still think he has a ways to go, but he's definitely moving in the right direction this week. Good to see.

Don't tell that to Tiger Woods's Venezuelan doppëlganger.

Saw a couple of Tiger's tee shots, different rhythm/sequencing than at the Memorial or Chambers Bay. One of the "smooth" swings went 320 in soft conditions. Maybe he'll realize he doesn't have to "kill it" to hit it far.

LOL!! I see what you did there.

Tiger isn't good enough to avoid The Greenbrier Classic and all the other second tier tournaments - playing it is the best thing for his game now matter how weak the event may be.

That being said, I wouldn't conclude that he's baaaaack with his two rounds in the 60s on an easier than usual course.

Has anybody been following Graham DeLaet's round today? He's -5 through 5 and hasn't had a birdie putt over 10 feet.

    • 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?
