So knowing that it will probably be windy Thurs and maybe Fri, which players will fair better in it?  Also, does it hurt some of the favorites heading into the tournament?

This weather changes my picks somewhat:

DJ - nothing bothers him

Jordan - mentally strong, good wind player

Phil - good wind player (now), knows course better n anyone and he's 46

Rickey - loves the elements, embraces the challenge

Zach J - also embraces the  challenge, only way he can win is in inclement weather

If weather was nice, I'd pull Rickey and Zach in lieu of Rory and JDay.

I'm sure the Augusta National Tournament Committee has the ability to control how hard the wind blows...they control when the azaleas bloom, what the commentators say, how many t.v. commercials run pe

This... is a boring uninspired menu, sorry, just my humble opinion.

 

Guessing those bolded X's are don't go there.

I've heard it said that if anyone designed a course today with greens like those at Augusta, he'd be ridiculed and lynched.  Those severe greens are revered, due to their history, but they'd be tough to play on a regular basis.  Of course, if I was forced to play Augusta on a regular basis, I'd try to tolerate them.

I'd assume, for member play, the greens would be a lot slower and the pins in easier spots. Or at least they would be most of the time.

If there is a postponement of play for some time on Thursday, it could heavily favor the early Thursday guys because if they get to finish most of their round on Saturday, the winds are supposed to die down to 5-10mph.

Haha well they are way off.

What's more likely?  That Sean O'Hair lies about his age or the Stewards of Masters have made a mistake?  

I think you'll find that Mr. O'Hair is indeed 54 years of age.

Maybe they are worried that O'Hair is going to win, but this way he only get to play 6 more years as a past champion

Masters practice coverage is showing radar numbers - ball speed and distance, plus animated trajectory for some players.

He's a Yorkshireman; they're not terribly...well...imaginative.

Mind you, I think some of the golfers from the southern United States might be a bit bemused when they see "gravy" on the menu and have their first encounter with Bisto.

In all fairness, I find pretty much all of the menus boring, don't mean to single out Willett. Had Yorkshire pudding last year in Kent, it was very good.

Jason Day's mother won't need chemo, much weight off shoulders, maybe it'll free him up for a win.

I normally don't root for anyone, but this year, want to see a first time winner that's not an unknown quantity like Willett. Day, McIlroy, Rose, DJ, Matsuyama, Stenson, Rahm, etc...

Too bad they can't simulate Thursday's expected wind speeds...

      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?
