He did the same thing at Worlds. I wish someone would call him on it.

I'd love to see johnE win usdgc. After all the work and sacrifice he has put into going on tour full time, he deserves it. Although in the back of my mind it's mcbeths to lose. And I don't foresee him slipping enough to lose the lead. He's just too solid right now .

i had a big nasty **** talk post written this morning but he seemed to speed it up for the rest of the round. he was molasses- esq at worlds and i was dreading watching this card today live, but maybe someone said something to him this morning?

Interesting to note some of this year's changes on the OB rules for hole 9--ANY shot that went OB (no matter where) took a penalty and their next shot from the drop zone or previous lie. MacBeth's 7 today (second shot OB long, drop zone shot OB long) probably would have been a circle 4 par last year (when we used traditional OB where it went out).
It was fun flagging on this hole during the tournament.

What? I don't doubt the numbers, but those reasons are incredibly weak.

I'm open to additional explanations but the bottom line is the numbers indicate the Performance format is a different game.

i kinda missed out on the timely discussion, but its UNCANNY how every prodigy player is struggling this year. seriously prodigy discs made NIKKO LOCASTRO a inconstant putter.

You know I've always held that ratings are missing a slope calculation, to adjust for courses that play easier for pros than for bogey golfers. Perhaps this is one case. I know it usually doesn't matter, and probably can't be detected in the data on a wide scale.
Anway, whatevs, I agree with the poster that said if their scores aren't used to generate the ratings, then they shouldn't get the ratings. I mean that's just dumb, right? If the game they're playing is SOOOO different, then they shouldn't be given ratings on the other game that they're not playing.
nikko should have taken the idea ricky had by hot stamping prodigy on a choice putter

From a marketing standpoint, it might make more sense if the Performance rounds were rated and entered within the DGU handicap system.
I seem to recall him having putting issues after he was picked up by Innova (though the story was he was dealing with back issues), so I wouldn't put it entirely at the feet of Prodigy. Could be he's got a mental block on anything non-Wizard.

I can relate, putting is hard when you HAVE to use a lesser putter.

I have to say I don't even physically understand McBeth's putting. Its unbelievable.

Nikko needs a caddy that actually makes all of his decisions for him. Probably in life and in golf.

Technically, the rating system does include a 'slope' calculation.. it's just tied solely to SSA. i.e. The PDGA rating system makes the assumption that all layouts of equivalent SSA have an equivalent slope.

That was a mean thing to say I take it back. We probably all need a caddy in life once in a while.
