dude, it doesn't matter if i or you have played 100 1-man scrambles/or whatevers or if you had 5 balls each shot ...

none of you would break 100 at the masters under tournament conditions ... you think because you have an extra shot that the 2nd drive or 2nd iron shot on #11 will be better? ... even more incredulous is that you think the 2nd chip will be better simply because you have a 2nd chip ... if you miss 16 to the green or long, you could have 100 extra shots ...

but, hey ... we got some bad arse golfers on heah ...

no ... "decent college golfer" equals someone who might avg 74ish in college ... would not break 80 at the masters with 2 balls each shot ...

Guess what? Some of us hit par 5's in two, make holes-in-one, double eagles, etc. A lot of the times we don't need the 2nd shot.

Umm... Yes, I do. Have you never met my second guy? He's a bastard and a pretty good golfer

In reality, my iron shot on #11 is going to be short and right anyways so I might not need a second ball but it wouldn't hurt. Around the greens is where it would be the biggest help (but yes, on some shots you would be in trouble and just have to take your medicine with a bogey).

if the pros have a lot of trouble hitting the green with their 1st shot, do you really think you're guaranteed to hit it with your 2nd shot? ... and an extra ball will not help an amateur golfer on the chips at augusta ... you could hit 100 chips and it wouldn't help ...

playing a course and playing a tournament are two different things ...

but maybe you are a scratch golfer who just didn't want to mess with winning the amateur and all that goes with it ... i'm out ...

Better have a + in there somewhere.

Some make it obvious they don't know a certain level of golf.
