re: On course: Men vs Women

The obvious distinction is distance, which everyone points to. You have to also look at type of course. If the rough is grown up such as a US Open, PGA, our Tour Championship, that hugely favors the men. Women wouldn’t be able to hit much more than a wedge out of that rough due to strength. The other factor is pin placements. Phil Mickleson played that Senior event and went really low. Afterwards he said he was able to take dead aim at every single pin. The pga guys can hoist a 5 iron straight up in the air, 220, as stop it quickly. There’s many more pins accessible to them than the women. Mickleson also talked about how cups on PGA were placed on knobs where it can get hard to be aggressive putting, but we’re flat with the Senior setup. I’m sure it’s the same with LPGA.

I'd say if they played a full season on the men's courses, the top woman would be 10 strokes behind the top man. If the men played the courses the LPGA are playing, probably 15.

If they made a cut, maybe at Colonial or Hilton Head.

At the height of her Dominance Annika missed the cut at even in the 2003 Colonial, Kenny Perry won at -19 under.
I would say on average female would be 15-30 shots behind the winner, if they ever made a cut.

Ok. We discussed it at the bar and have come up with the following.
On a longer more strenuous course, (men's typical layout) the difference per round would be 5-8+ strokes. It's not just distance. The women likely hit the ball a bit straighter on their courses. On the men's, they would have to be ripping at it more often, from the tees and fairways. This would likely result is more wayward shots. From the rough, they would struggle reaching many greens.
On the shorter courses, (typical women's layout) the men would have a difference of less...4-6 strokes. Around the greens the women are much more comparable, skill-wise. The men would rarely need driver so their accuracy would increase.
So what have we learned? Nothing, really.

Those long par 4s they will be hitting a long iron into the green vs a 7-9 for men. Likely can’t make any par 5s in 2 either. At least they are cute nowadays. Back when I was a kid, they mostly looked like me with tits.

So far in the Olympics the difference seems to be putting. The men were making everything on these greens & the ladies are struggling, for the most part.
