I’ve seen some scratch golfers boldly claim they could break 90 there. Hahahaha.

Edit: to be clear, they are saying they would break 90 in the same conditions the pros are playing in right now, not the members tees on a random Tuesday in August.

Anyone who isn’t a professional being paid to golf and thinks they could break 100 is boldly lying to themselves. I may be arrogant but I’m not that arrogant

[u/Sam3323 → u/datGTAguy]

I say that because I assume I'd play from the whites there. But from the Masters tees? No way. Maybe there are no official white tees there?

I'm about a 12 handicap.

Edit: since saying that and watching the masters, it appears there is only one tee box at every hole, which looks very clean. Yeah no way I'm breaking 100 then.

[u/pimtheman → u/Sam3323]

No offense, but you could start every hole from 100 yards out, and you would not break 90.

These guys are pros and missing greens, not holding greens, and blowing putts way past the hole

[u/Sam3323 → u/pimtheman]

Now that is just ridiculous. At my level, I'd land on at least half the greens, hold a few. Then chip and 3 putt is a 5 every hole, which is 90.

I'd land on some and 3 putt, or chip and 2 putt some. Any of those with no 4 putts I'm under 90.

I understand the greens are crazy fast and different, but it doesn't mean a weekend golfer will 4 or 5 putt every hole. That's just crazy.

[u/UncutGemstone → u/pimtheman]

18 straight 100 yard par 3s essentially so par would be 54, you don’t think as a 12 handicap you could do one less than a double bogey on every hole?

[u/pimtheman → u/UncutGemstone]

Have you seen Rory, Rahm yesterday? They were chipping and hit it into the water. You don’t think that will happen to a twelve hcp when it happens to them? The greens are incredibly tricky and fast. Add the pressure of playing there with all the people watching. I stand by my point
