Any one else notice that there has been very little "get in the holes" and "Bababooeys" ... Nice pleasant midwest golf...

What I like about him being a shorter hitter, is that he is not putting so much stress on his body.


Not really short ... just not a bomber.

Guess I feel badly for Zach Johnson -- didn't make anything on the back or ...

He looks fidgety on the greens, and lifts his head fairly quickly. Would like to look to see if his putter shaft is backwards ... that's what got him several years ago.

I didn't include him in any teams via draft king picks. Figured he needed a prep week for the open and he would work on anything he thought needed help. After Thursday round I was sitting pretty and knew I had made the right picks. Then he blew it open. He really is amazing to step away for a couple weeks, shoot a semi bad round and gain on it each day. I do think he backs off today as to not try to win 2 in a row. Mental thing ?

If he wins here, going into the open he is going to have that TIGER scare to opponents and if he wins that, it will be a long season for all the other players. Remember back when other golfers feared Tiger ?You were playing for second.

Speith seems to always be the same person everyday. That is what he projects, almost like he has an emotional button or safety that he hits. Nothing is ever too good or too bad.

Another thing I noticed, right before he putts, 1 second before, he tilts the putter forward at the top. Anyone else ever catch that ? Always the exact same motion.

Feel sorry for Justin Thomas... Must suck to be such a great golfer and know you are a top 50 in the world but your best playing buddy is even better and you will most likely never catch him.

Yes I did notice that. I'm really liking it as well.

No, but I'm glad. I did notice that last week (I think it was last week) that the announcers actually acknowledged those guys - by berating them.

It really is impressive. It goes overlooked because he's not super long and he doesn't strike it like a Rory or Tiger in his prime. But what most people don't realize is he doesn't have a weakness, and his putting from 5-15 feet may be better than anyone that's ever played the game if he keeps his numbers where they are now throughout his career. Most people just don't realize how vital a stat that is when you make putts from 5-15 feet consistently. It's what made Tiger and what is holding Rory back from being more consistent.

His putting causes people to undervalue his ball striking, IMO.  I doubt many people realize that he is 3rd on Tour in strokes gained, tee to green.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I missed that. I hope it worked. I am sure some of them were told about the berating or watched a recording to hear themselves. I am not sure how you can come out of the deal being proud of that.

The one thing I like about Jordan and Rory is they don't do this silly "wear red or orange or my college colors" on Sunday like some guys do. I don't know, it's probably just me but I always found that corny. I liked Payne Stewart's Sunday wardrobe in that he always wore the colors of whatever NFL city he was in or closest by. I actually always said if I made it to even mini tour (which I'm still trying to do) I would do what Payne did.

Johnson Wagner -3 thru 2 and ties the lead. Grumpy old man Tom Gillis -3 thru 3 and one off. Jordan Spieth starts his day with a rare bogey.

I said yesterday Jordan doesn't have a weakness, but if there's anything close to a weakness, it's his driving accuracy. One area he needs to focus on before next week because you can't miss fairways at St. Andrews or you're chipping back into the fairway 90% of the time.

Yeah, that's becoming more and more common. Boo Weekly has them in all his irons; Kuchar too. Apparently the graphite shaft tech has caught up to steel and offers the same benefits. That's what I've heard, anyways.

He thought it was LCP and he marked his ball.

      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?
