Did anyone just see that Ken Duke celebration? That might have just been the greatest and whitest moment in PGA Tour history. I love Ken Duke.

Tiger is a complete disaster. His swing is too violent, too wild. He is done. He'll never win another tournament again, except maybe the B Flight in a Club Championship at a local muni.

@Kenny Lee way to put your money where your mouth is.. I wonder if there are any true Tiger believers who will take it? Keep us posted, in fact why don't you start a thread about it?

Who are these nine idiots you found who took that bet. Basically, you are given a tremendous odds.

A fair bet (according to your assumption that Tiger will never win or will retire) is will he win before he retires at 1:1 odds.

In your case you will only lose $20 but have potential to gain enormous amount of money. That's not a fair bet.

No. You don't understand the terms.

If Tiger enters and fails to win a tournament, I win $20 from each person.

If Tiger enters and wins a tournament, I lose $100 to each person AND must return all the $$ I won previously.

I structured it this way so I don't have to wait several years to collect $$.

Right… only they do, and not only that, but they have to pay in the whole time as well.

I'll offer you straight up odds at $1000 apiece on the two things you stated:

  • Tiger retires at the end of the 2015 calendar year by citing an injury (I take no, you take yes).
  • Tiger wins a sanctioned PGA Tour event before he turns 46 (I take yes, you take no).

I really thought he would play really well today, with no pressure. This tends to show me, at least some of this is mental.

That's a pleasant surprise.


Maybe he can go -7 over the next 8 holes... okay, that's asking him to be SuperMan.

Getting between 12-14 under would wake up everyone, including Tiger's mental health.

Win is probably out of the question but FedEx points are important or else his season will end in a couple weeks. I don't have high expectations for him at Whistling so every birdie he makes is crucial.

It's a shame that even par yesterday would have put TW in contention today it looks like. Yesterday on a par 5 he hit a 340 yard drive in the fairway and the second shot was listed at 220 and it ended up 286 on a cart path. Still too inconsistent. I'm hoping either Rickie or Howell III wins. I always felt like the latter never lived up to his potential. Would be nice to see him get a W.

      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?
