umm... ok, what does this have to do with anything? you can tell the quality of a golf swing by how they clear the body just before and through impact. doesn't matter what happens before that. steph doesn't clear well, it's evident if you know what to look for.

There's a few guys that can really play. Mark Mulder and Josh Scobee both could play in a Web event. They couldn't win I don't think, but they could make the cut easily.

Both those guys are like +3's I guranteed you if they played well they could make the cut in a Web event. I've seen Scobee shoot 64 at Squire Creek before and it's probably harder than most of the course set ups they play

There would be like 40 web guys break 64 At squire on a regular day and regular set up.
If they played their absolute best golf, yes they can make the cut. But would never ever ever win.

Just stop. If they could "easily" make the cut at a web event, they would be playing professional golf.
Let me put things in perspective for you.
The Chitimatcha Open is a web event played at Le Triomphe. In 2014, that course hosted the LA State Am and the winner shot -20 over four days and won by 6 strokes. In 2015, he won the State Am again and then turned pro.
After two years of pro golf, he finally qualified for the Mackenzie Tour this summer (which is a lower tier tour than web.com). He hasn't made a cut on that tour yet.
Again, guy shot 65-63 on the weekend at a web.com course in 2014 to win State Am by 6 strokes, and after years of professional development and playing golf for a living, has yet to make a cut on a lower tier tour than the web.com. Perspective. These guys are good.

Grady Brame? Yeah, I know him. I promise you some of the former athletes are just as good as these guys. They would not win, but if someone like Scobee played a full year on the Web he would make multiple cuts. And the state am is not set up like the Web event. You can the course play different. I know and have played with numerous professional golfers from the Adams Tour to the PGA Tour to the Challenge Tour in Europe. I know for a fact that some ameteurs can play on the Web.

Some of those guys are good but I haven't seen any one of them yet that (take the winners of the celebrity event in Lake Tahoe) that could compete with the better amateurs in the country much less the web tour

Web.com players would devastate Squire Creek on any regular day.

The key to remember is that a lot of people's good golf is good enough to make cuts out there. The issue is the bad days .. 99% of those web guys would never shoot over par on their bad days at squire

Bunna Watson shot +2 over there?
Look I'm not saying they're not good, but there are ameteurs and pros playing mini tours that are just as good or better. Half of making it in professional golf is luck. You play 2 weekends to get status on the Web so if you're game isn't perfect you're not going to make it. That happens a couple of years and you get burnt out. There's a reason that am's play well in PGA events all the time. It's because they're good. The moment is too big for them and they fade, but their game can hold up to those courses.

Those amateurs guys you see play on the PGA tour are LIGHT years better than any celebrity out there

hell, I could "play" on the web.com tour.....but would never be able to compete against those guys - the web.com tour player is a chip or putt away from the PGA tour - the level of precision they play with is unreal.
your local jock hero has no business on a web.com event - any of the guys you mentioned would get SLAUGHTERED.
Heck, they probably would not make a cut on the old Hooters Tour.
professional golf is a completely different game that anything an amateur golfer could imagine - it is a brutal way to make a living - and the sill set of PGA and web.com tour players are unreal....
Sam Burns, a future great PGA Tour player - his 2015 sponsor invite stats rank him at the bottom - he was no where close to any top quantitative measure for the 4 rounds he played....He is going to be a great PGA Tour player....and he would destroy the guys you listed....but it will take him a little while to figure out the PGA Tour.

I don't believe the handicap on what a lot of these celebrities claim to be. I like Steph but I'm thinking he's shooting 88's both days due to tournament conditions
His handicap is probably legit, for the course he plays everyday. My old club pro qualified for the Senior US Open last year. He played at UNC when he was in college. He's one of the best iron players I've ever seen. He shot an 82, 80 at Scioto. He said with the firmness of the greens, and the pin positions, he could have played the best rounds of his life and wouldn't have broken par.

I'll give a perfect example
A Louisiana guy - played collegiate golf in Louisiana - he was legit - played the European tour for a few years - made cuts - did OK.
He quit - when asked why, he said that even though his game was strong, it was just not strong enough - he had to fight for the cut nearly every week - when you have a young family and you have to sink an 8 footer on 36 to get a paycheck, the pressure becomes unreal....and can wear one out.
professional golf is a beast that can not be compared to any level of amateur golf....ever.

the Tour does not care - tough shite -
Burns will get his - the amateurs you listed will not make a web.com or pga tour cut in the remained of this season or any future PGA Tour season.

one 64 at Squire isn't gonna get ole Josh to far on any tour...... He might make a cut on the Foot Golf tour since he was once a decent kicker. Posted on 6/30/17 at 6:22 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
A +3 wouldn't make cuts on the web.com. You really need to be in the range of +6 or better. Completely different level of competition.
And that's not meant to take anything away from the amateurs you mentioned above.

Think steph might do better than you think .
Have a CSB:
2 friends and I showed up at Spyglass and said we want to play the tips . Caddies looked at us like we were crazy. We asked them how often people play from back there. They said almost never, and the last time was a few days ago with Steph Curry , who broke par from back there. Dude can play apparently.
