You guys do know that Tiger is his real legal name, right? Changed many years ago. Calling him Eldrick is just a weak attempt to make fun of him, regardless of denials to the contrary.

'When Woods' marriage to Elin Nordegren ended in divorce in 2010, the divorce papers - which became public record - all referred to Woods by his full, given name: Eldrick Tont Woods. Had Woods ever legally changed his name to Tiger then, presumably, those legal documents would have used "Tiger" rather than "Eldrick."'

Interesting to see Tiger change his wardrobe a bit. For years it was always the black hat or white hat. It was his trademark. But this year we've seen the teal hat and gray hat come out.

I loved that teal hat. What a cool outfit. Tiger is always well-dressed but I like when he has bold colors in his wardrobe.

So, I guess Tiger's game plan is to just hit the ball 20 feet or less on every hole. Not a bad plan, I must say.

A 24-footer for par, a smoked driver, and an A-level approach. I am enjoying this so much.

Looks like Tiger is limping a bit....at least it appears that way to me.

I've seen a few people say that on Twitter; I don't see it, and GC Tracker and Kostis don't, either. Idk.

I don't know if it's been talked about, but one of the biggest changes I see in Tiger's swing is he doesn't pose on the follow through anymore. After he follows through, he quickly snaps the club back.

How did that putt miss?! Also, poor Hoge. Pressure seems to be getting to 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?
