What's up, guys? Rick here with a preview for this week's John Deere Classic and two very important announcements right out of the gate.

First off, the Wednesday live chat for this week is early.

9 a.m. Eastern time with the holiday. I'm traveling. I'm not going to skip it.

week. Okay, let's turn our attention to the John Deere and jump right in. TPC Deer Run. Here it is in all

its glory. This is my website, Rick Rungood.com. Everything you see from this point forward will be from

Bertie Fett? No, I'm not going to say that. I think it's probably an overused statement. But here

is what we've got in terms of the regression model. Here's what the numbers say. The numbers say

that accurate drivers of the golf ball have much higher correlations to success over the years

than other stat profiles and other golf courses.

Now you think off the top of your head, Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, Sepsraka, yep, yep,
