Just watching Casey and Spieth tear the 13th apart really puts Fowler's horror-show in perspective - 3 wood and mid iron for Spieth and Casey for crying out loud. It's just not a par five any more, they really should buy up that land they've been talking about.

Nonsense. As it is now, it's a genuine half-par for everyone in the field. Extending the tee back another 40-50 yards turns it into a layup hole for everyone except the longest hitters: the exact opposite effect than the club's intent. The shortest hitters may have to hit their third shots from the 14th fairway, because their drives would land too far back to turn the corner of the dogleg on their seconds. It's a terrible idea, and I hope Augusta National doesn't go through with it.

I don't even want to see that 7 putt, that's a life changer. Someone that's never golfed could do better than a 7 putt.

It's crazy how much Spieth destroys this golf course. T2, 1st in his only two starts here, and already he's running away with a lead? Jeez! I'm not saying he's going to win, but good gracious this guy plays pretty decent here.

Nice to see Tom Watson hanging in at +1 in his final Masters. Wouldn't it be great for him to make the weekend, and go out the right way?

It's like a terrible car crash - I probably shouldn't look but I really want to look!

My point is that I don't think you should be able to hit three wood around the corner. I do take your point about lengthening the tee not being a great idea, but I do think it needs to be a bit longer for the approach. Everyone has a different opinion, I guess.

I wouldn't go quite that far, but 1 isn't one of the harder Augusta greens, so it is absolutely crazy. Mind=blown

I gotta give him credit.

And it's not like he just focuses on this Major - he really prepares for all of them.  Gotta commend him for this dedication.

Still hope Phil, Rory, or Day win, though. :-D

Just being a smart-aleck here, but maybe Alina (my daughter) could give Els a putting lesson.

This would make more sense if we knew if she was a baby, toddler, little kid, teenager, or full grown adult. ;-)

So Dechambeau is impressive there's no doubt about it. This perfectly consistent swing with all the equations and physics, yeah its impressive. But I think all that could lead to a low ceiling for him. No shot shaping could prevent him from going low when needed.

      Yeah, negative PCC days are more likely to be counted in the best 8, but the PCC decreases the downward impact of these scores, as it increases your posted differential.  As for the conditions, it really is funny how the scores posted don't always reflect what seem like tough conditions.   Its clear that you thrive in difficult conditions.

      I guess someone decided to do more work for little benefit then.  I might be the lucky one then. I have a +3 and a +1 on my counted scores.

      2024 Changes to the World Handicap System (WHS)

      By gbogey ·

      I've only seen one positive PCC since it began, a +3 during a tournament on a tough, firm course with the wind blowing at least 30 mph. A scratch golfer got so frustrated he pulled out after 9. Sadly, the +3 did nothing for me as I was a good 10-12 strokes above the score counting. Currently 3 of my last 7 scores have a negative PCC. Of course, all 3 of those are in my best eight. I'm puzzled, as the wind was blowing pretty good on at least two of those rounds.

      By DaveP043 ·

      It changed to the best 8 of the last 20, in the 2020 changes.  When I attended a Handicapping Workshop in 2020, we were told that they anticipated that the PCC would apply in about 10% of the rounds.  That's about what I see now, maybe slightly more often since the algorithm was tweaked not long ago.  And remember, the PCC will adjust MOST of the scores on a given day towards the mean.  With a positive PCC (more high scores), most players scores wouldn't be in the best 8/20 even with the PCC, so the impact is nothing, although the few players who had a good day will see the impact on their HI increased.   I believe it will be very rare that a player has even two scores in their best 8 with any kind of PCC.
