@jjlsmith2@DJ789110@JustinHerzig lol it’s not that easy just to get it in the hole with a 56. A very low tier tour play is probably losing 6-8 strokers per round minimum with a 56 as a putter
@jjlsmith2@JustinHerzig If a 4 HC doesn’t choose a putter, then I think they are also still pretty limited.
They will likely have many more tough putts given their lack of clubs to hit approach shots with. And using a 56 as a putter is going to cost them many strokes.
Aronimink Golf Club will have most elite golfers hitting roughly 7-9 shots from inside 150 yards, so roughly 40-50%.
Approach distribution inside 150 yards at prior PGA Championships venues
2025 Quail Hollow 22%
2024 Valhalla 25%
2023 Oak Hill 33%
2022 Southern Hills 35%
2021 Kiawah Island 24
WHY ARE WE USING PRIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP PERFREOMACES AS A KEY METRIC FOR THIS WEEK'S HANDICAPPING?
We will have roughly double the number of wedges than typical PGA Championship venues this week which rewards an entirely different skill set compared to the driver + long iron venues we have had the last five years.
Most major venues are big ball parks, with an emphasis on long irons, and as a result of this homogenized course layout at PGA and US Opens, you can use past majors to handicap upcoming events. But the course is so different this week I think it renders that angle of research relatively meaningless.
Over the last 12 months,
- Top 20 SG from 200+ only has 2 names who are also Top 20 in SG from <150 out the rough.
- Top 20 SG from 200+ only has 3 names who are also Top 20 in SG from 100-150 in the fairway
Guys who typically play well at long major venues are going to have find other avenues to score as they have significantly less opportunity to separate themselves from the field with their mid-long irons.
>thanks for coming to my ted talk<
@Ky1eLong We send Tiger if he’s off the perks
We send Bryson if it’s outside of earth (knows about the gravity and physics)
We send Phil because he has the gambling edge
We send Patrick Cantlay to delay the alien invasion
@stoolpresidente@BizNasty2point0 Question for the fans at home but have you ever done a boat ride with a woman that’s pregnant, that you have no prior romantic history with, and it’s just the two of you?
@Zigmanfreud While it is very odd as to why all of this continues to come out of no where years later, I think it was reported that the taker of the Sedona photos shopped around to outlets like TMZ.
Not so sure her husband or her husband’s PI would be shopping the photos.
@TheBubbaArmy “I’m gonna report it. We don’t know it to be true, rumor has it, strictly our opinion”
That’s not reporting, that’s just spreading a rumor lmao
