100th ranked LPGA golfer vs Scratch male golfer

from the tips, or both play from their respective tees?

Last year the scoring average for the 100th female on the LPGA was 73.75.

The average yardage for an LPGA Tour golf course is between 6,200 and 6,400 yards.


Take that for what it's worth.

By definition a scratch golfer averages even par (72 usually).

So with the added distance I think you have to give the male the advantage.

But I don't know how aggressive the pins are set up in the LPGA, that could easily raise scores as well as rougher conditions than a scratch golfer playing at some scrub country club with easy pins every week.

chosen for her bust...this chick is ranked in the Top 75, and averages 266 off the tee

So say shes 15 yards short off the tee most holes, thats nothing for someone who lives off of golf.

The LPGA golfer wins...hands down. If you think otherwise, you are just dumb and don't know the game. she will have the length for that course and will have experience under pressure...if she is top 100, she has faced stiff competition and dealt with pressure, galleries, etc. She will be calm around the greens, etc. If you add a gallery, she wins by 10-15 strokes, because the club level scratch handicapper will collapse, get shaky in the short game, etc. The guy won't have a chance.

I dont know 500 yards longer would be a huge difference where a longer driver would have a huge advantage.
Scratch golfer probably averages 290 off the tee PGA pro averages 240. 50 yards a hole would add up quick. My guess is that it depends on course set up. I could see a 6900 yard course with either winning. I would pick scratch on St. Andrews and I would pick LPGA on a tree lined course.
200 yards out goes to scratch 100 yards in goes to LPGA.
