The only way I'm winning the Masters is if the Masters was a competition to see who could slice the ball the farthest from the tee box.

I play mostly at City Park in Baton Rouge and I ended up in someone's driveway teeing off on #2 yesterday, then beneath the big live oak tree on the left side of the fairway on number 2 while teeing off from #3.

Then in the pond on Number 4 (that fricking pond is placed perfectly for a slicer).

I'm a professional slicer.

Do I have a caddy?

If I have a caddy i'm beating the field by 30 strokes.

I could 4 putt every hole and still be even.

I'd imagine I would get a 2 putt or 3 putt a couple times a round which depending on the hole could be an eagle or an albatross.


If I don't have a caddy I'm probably fricked though.

Depends. If I'm only putting, yes. Some greens will eat my lunch but I can keep most to 2-4 putts IMO. 3-putting each green puts me at 54. I'm comfortable with that.

The way I putt I probably still wouldn't break par on those greens.

Yes. Easily.

Anybody who’s ever played golf before should be able to four putts at a minimum (or I guess maximum ). And there would definitely be holes where you’d be able to three putt, and even two putt depending on how good your lag is.

And if you have a caddy it should be even easier.

I would 3- or 4-putt from the edge of any green, so no. And I used to be an 11-handicap.

I just prefer to hit it in from the tee box every time.

No way. I’m a terrible putter.

Do you get to pick the spot on the edge of the green where you start from?

I feel like that would be the deciding factor.

Of course. 4 par 5's a round I'd say the chances are good especially since the par 5's are traditionally the easiest to score once you get on at Augusta.

I believe so, yes. Putting is the strongest part of my game.

Unless you’re scratch, no you wouldn’t win unless you’re put in the simplest spot to putt from on each green.

There are spots on these greens that the average 10 handicap would easily 6 or 7 putt from.

Not only win, I'm setting the course record.


Many variables, what edge of the green? Do I get to play a practice round? Practice before hand? Caddy?

I'd have to work on my chipping, but yeah, I feel like I could easily shoot 20 to 25 under over the course of 4 rounds.

The lowest handicap I ever had was 9. I don’t think I could do it at my best.

i do not think anyone who wasn’t a handicap of 2 or less could do it. Those greens are diabolical. And, as Gary McCord said (which got him banned for life at The Masters), “I don’t think they mow these greens, I think they bikini wax them”. They’re fast. Lip outs can go 3+ feet by the hole.

It would be interesting to see how a 10-15 handicapper would do.
