One last twist to this. Take that same scratch golfer, give him Butch Harmon, the best equipment customized to him, bones on his bag, and 2 months to prepare without work, and the scratch golfer walks all over the LPGA pro.


No, just no. I know how good they are compared to a scratch player. Scratch player might beat them once. The girl isn't going to shoot over par. Those golf courses they play are probably a 76 rating in most cases

Just an FYI
I was looking at Kiawah Island and thier 6200 132 slope yard tee box had both mens and womans handicap index. 76.7 women and 70.9 mens. That would mean the woman would have to be a +6 to equal a scratch male. Their 7356 144 slope has a rating of 77.3 That is an extra 1000 yards and 12 degrees equals the same handicap. From 6800 138 it is a 73.5. I just have to imagine that for a woman that would be an 80+. based on the progression. Female golfer would have to play to a +8 to beat the male. I think you are underestimating a male scratch golfer.
