Learning so much on this site. Tiger just had 153 uphill to the green and he had a 9 iron in his hands. I thought "he's going to flight it" and he did.

we will take it!

just from following along on the play-by-play on the app, and the 2.72 strokes gained putting, it seems like the magic wand was working pretty well today...

Tiger only hit 50% of his fairways, but they were small misses. There needs to be (or someone needs to point out to me) a statistic that shows how far someone missed the fairway; that's a better stat, I think, then just missed fairways.

yea, i agree...   you can't tell if a player is missing by 50 yards or 50 inches...

they have "smash factor"...   how about a new stat called "wildness factor"?

From what I saw, he missed one putt for birdie within 5 feet . Other then that, the flat stick was very good.

He made a couple of putts in the 10 foot range for par, too. His putter was outstanding today.

They got something called distance from edge of fairway, but I'm not sure what it means. http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.08793.tiger-woods.html/statistics

That might be the stat I'm looking for. One thing I think is interesting: his club head speed is 118 mph. He should be hitting it well over 300 with that, right?

yea, i dunno what that really means either, because none of the numbers add up? e.g. possible fairways, missed fairways, strokes, etc...

Found the explanation here: http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02420.html

Quote:
The average distance in feet and inches from the edge of the fairway when the player misses the fairway. The average is calculated on the tee shots of all par 5 holes and on those par 4 holes where the player did not go for the green.

Very solid round today. Weak field and a relatively easy course. I would think that he'd be disappointed if he doesn't finish at least top 10, even given his play lately.

That's it, then. He's ranked 200 or lower in that stat; him missing fairways isn't the problem, but how badly. If he can get it to like, say 30 feet or so, I think that's when we'll see him really turn it on.

      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?
