Matt Jones? Where the heck did he come from? Haven't seen him on many leaderboards this year or any year for that matter. He's had a few good tourneys here or there but nothing to make us see this coming.


He came from down under mate.

He's won on tour and has a few top fives this year.

Yeah I remember his win. Just don't hear much of him. Surprised to see him leading.

He only grimaces on bad shots, take notice

Are we really going to do this again? Even though it's prob not the smartest plan, I like that DJ is being super aggressive. Maybe that'll keep the demons away.

I guess I am not much of pro golf fan. I went to a site , saw that Woody was "on the wrong side of the cut line" and that was all I needed to know.

I would say you are right. You are not much of a golf fan, just a fan of woody.

These things always crack me up because I assume that they aren't going to stand exactly like that all day, so when they inevitably split up for food, restroom breaks, what have you, and people are going to give them confused looks when they see "I heart PEWS" or just "PIES."

The ladies with S, H, I and T need to carefully watch their arrangements all day.

Wow, what a cut from a Tiger. That thing must've curved 60 yards. Also, Lingmerth seems to be around a lot. Ever since the 2013 Players, he just seems to be just hanging around.

Yeah that was disappointing. I like Lingmerth. Could've won a few by now, couple more shots go his way.

Had a rough year last year. Totally disappeared. Not sure what happened, but he's gotten back on track this year.

Go Jason Day!! That $500 can pay for the tires I just got today.

I sincerely hope this is the week for Jason Day. He's so good that it's inconceivable to me that he hasn't won a major yet. I'd be happy with DJ winning as well.

Yeah, he's sure come close. The issue with Day and DJ is the pressure of finally closing it out. That's where Spieth may have an advantage over them on the weekend is he's been able to do it and has the confidence down the stretch. While there's a lot of others in contention, I'd be surprised if the champion come Sunday night isn't one of those 3 guys.

Jason Day seems like a really cool guy too. I think I have a man crush on him.

    • 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?
