I don't think counting the strokes (180-200) would be worth it. I would just enjoy the once in lifetime opportunity and soak it all in.

Maybe 50 per side!!My buddy asked if he could make the cut if they gave him 50 strokes... Hell no, I said. From tournament tee's, tournament conditions, not a chance. Maybe 50 strokes per round.
He scores in the low-mid 80's when playing from 6000 yards. He's fairly short hitter and struggles with a left to right ball. From 7700 yards, it would be brutal just playing for double bogeys on most of the par 4's. Without a draw off the tee, he's not getting to par 5's in 3, maybe not 4. He's a low spin player so I don't even know how you stop it on those greens? He does have good touch around the greens and with his putter but you'd still be hoping to get down in 3-4 strokes after each approach.
The numbers just don't add up.
I think the course is going to be harder than most people think. There are very few flat lies your either going up a hill or down.I think the course itself wouldn’t give too much trouble. Its around and on the greens I think that would cause nightmares.
It’d be a lot of snowmen on the scorecard.
Absolutely. Flat surfaces give enough problems. Never mind finding footing.every.single.shotI think the course is going to be harder than most people think. There are very few flat lies your either going up a hill or down.
Yeah! What are you even doing on this forum!? You, you...non-hacker!!!You sir, are an outlier! Obviously at a +2, your game is more refined than you average hacker!
LMAO, this made me legit laugh out loud. Best response yet.Possibly myself after absolutely being hammered by the course.
It highly depends upon the course they're playing. I'm a 13-14, and shoot mid 80s all the time. But we're talking from 5838-6337 yards, on my home course that I know like the back of my hand, with course ratings of 68-70 and slopes of 118-123. A score of 85 yields a 13.2 differential from our blue tees and a 16.2 from the whites, so it's not exactly a stellar accomplishment. Put me on a longer, more difficult course that I'm not familiar with and my weaknesses are quickly exposed, and there's little chance that I'm going to play to my handicap. On a 7500+ yard course with those kind of ratings? As you said, not a chance in hell.i don’t think there’s a chance in hell a 15 handicap is breaking 100 on that course from tournament tees and masters conditions. 15 handicaps don’t shoot scores in the mid 80s, if they did they would have a handicap much lower than that.

Just one thought, We are talking the Pro tees not the members tees.

Gonna focus on the italicized, cause the two guys with 11 green jackets hit a heck of a lot of fades around that course.My buddy asked if he could make the cut if they gave him 50 strokes... Hell no, I said. From tournament tee's, tournament conditions, not a chance. Maybe 50 strokes per round.
