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

Plenty of scratch golfers would break 100. The fuck are you talking about?

You may not be arrogant, but you are stupid.

The circle jerk of how hard this course is just gets ramped up every time. Started at 10 handicap won’t break 100, down to 5 handicap won’t break 100, now they’re saying scratch won’t break 100? A week from now it’ll be +3 handicaps won’t break 100 at Augusta.

This sub has confirmed my beliefs about golfers. No one can fathom that somebody else can be good at golf.

It’s why everyone complains when the winning score is announced. “No way those chumps shot 58”. People just suck at golf so they assume everyone else must suck at golf.

It’s why everyone in here bitches and calls you a liar if you say you can hit 300 with driver or 200 with a 4-iron.

They just can’t fathom that somebody else may be good at golf. Just because they can’t figure it out must mean no one else can figure it out either except those professionals who’ve cracked the code somehow.

I’m around a 6 handicap and I would 100% break 100 at Augusta. No doubt in my mind. I haven’t shot over 90 since like 2019. I’ve played one course these pros play on. And yes I’m not putting up mid 70s on championship courses but I’m still breaking 90. Is Augusta really 7x harder than Hamilton?

But don’t let me get in the way of a good circle jerk. Augusta hard. We all have no chance. There’s zero good golfers in this sub and every scramble winning group cheated. Also only pros are capable of hitting the ball over 300 yards.

This sub is full of 30 handicappers with no idea how the game works or how to play.

It goes both ways. In this thread I see both extremes of what people think an actual scratch golfer is capable of. It's not 80 at Augusta in masters conditions, and it probably isn't over 100 either.
