You don't just divide the driving distance (yards) by the fairway with the half of the fairways width(yards) and expect to find anything useful. All you have found is the difference between a fifteenth of their driving distance - you could of just subtracted their driving distances together and divided by 15 and you would of come up with the same answer....an answer which isn't much use for anyone. It doesn't say much about your maths skills or those of GPStyles who seems to think your akin to Albert Einstein.
The correct differences are these.... I've omitted the sums because you won't understand them anyhow...
Woods hitting 300 yards onto a 30 yard fairway has 5.73197 degrees margin for error.
Hogan hitting 250 yards onto a 30 yard fairway has 6.87963 degrees margin for error.
So hogan at 80% FIR having to be 83.4% less accurate than Woods would only hit the fairway 66% of the time at 300 yards.
So where you plucked this number from I do not know - perhaps you clicked your heels together three times.
The pure maths is pointless to the debate and anyhow the maths becomes more in Tigers favour when you increase the fairway from the super tight hypothetical width you set. I could think of plenty of arguements that when added up make the maths arguement sound silly. It would be like a game of Jenga but its your arguement falling after each one of these blocks (variables you have not accounted for) and you couldn't even set the game properly up to begin with because you suck at Maths.
My feeling is that Wood's golf stroke is better than Hogans... You just wanted to try and own me - You tried and you failed... Try harder next time.
HENNY's Answer
Matthew,
I don't dispute your math. Longer shots on the same angle off line miss the target by more distance. Simple right? Watch the Hogan vs. Snead Shell match at Houston CC. Balls are not just catching the fairway. Hogan is curving the ball so it stays in the center of the fairway as the hole doglegs. "Fit to fairway like hand to glove." This where math gets lost. If the ball is not deflected from the target line, the distance does not factor.
Mike O's Questions:
Henny or anyone else,
I'd like to hear more about working the ball - Both Ways - in regards to course management. How many of the PGA tour pros work the ball both ways - as a particular hole requires? What are some of the common situations or tips for when to work the ball, etc?
Also, Here's my quiz question: When would you NOT want a ball curving in the same direction as the dogleg - "Fit to fairway like hand to glove"?

It is during these times of increased mental capacity that unfortunately people tend to disappear and to later be found bound and gagged . . . dead or worse. If a strange man wearing a Speedo with a potato in the back approaches you at a gas station or a porn shop with breath that smells like he has been licking peoples' arm pits that live at bus stations . . . do not make any sudden moves, return any open mouth kisses, or respond to more than playful slaps on the butt . . . . slowly remove yourself from the area and bathe. This person is extremely dangerous to humans and livestock.

Bagger has no idea how many "lurkers" are really worm infested bodies in my backyard! But my ultimate catch will be when the 12 piece goes silent.

Rumor has it that MikeO is moving to the East Coast soon. Its making a lot more sense now. Bigger backyard needed and closer to "the prize". Bucket has been very quiet here lately. Is he changing identity?

He is going through an identity change but I really thought that was too personal - to be discussed on the forum. Bagger, due to how busy he is - could you access his personal profile and update his interests from just BBQ to "BBQ, Goats, and Threadjacking"- I think that for new forum members coming on to the site- that might be helpful information.
Thanks!

I think the "thread" part is a bit too specific . . . If you take that part away . . . we're probably good.
Also . . . do you mean BBQ'd goat or BBQ & goats? Just want to be sure that our selected language communicates the intended message with precision . . . . the precision is certainly in the details.
By the way . . . did that sore on your lip clear up?

The doctor said it was contagious and therefore he recommended that you see your doctor also.
