I heard on the radio today that the public service for Arnie will be held Tuesday, Oct. 4. This is possibly in consideration of the Ryder Cup being played this weekend. For this reason alone, every single member of both teams, the captains, assistants, and anyone having anything to do with the Ryder Cup should be in attendance. And in Ryder Cup official function dress!

Okay as some on this site are very data-centric, and I like what Nate Silver and crew do on FiveThirtyEight.

They have an article up that presents the support for the case that only Jack and Tiger were better than Arnie

I loved Arnold Palmer. I told my dad that it is rare for a person to die and be thought of positively by everyone.  He said he had issue with womanizing(no biggie) and some early anti-Semitic thoughts.

Good article. Caveat that the analysis applies to the modern era (1968 forward) only.

Also, the Major shares stat is cumulative based on past performance not on recent season form like strokes gained. Based on his demonstrated talent level during the season and Jack's likely decline (relative to his peak years), I expect Watson's upset wasn't as great as this other article of theirs argues: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/jordan-spieths-collapse-also-required-a-great-comeback/

My room mate when I lived in Cincinnati got married in that church. His wife was from Latrobe. We stayed at her parents house which was across the street from the golf course.

I watched the whole funeral on golf channel last night. Twice. I thought Jim Nantz speech was pretty good, though nothing could top Sam Saunders'.

    • I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
