On course: Men vs Women

I was watching some golf and one of my daughters walked through the room and casually asked how much better men were than women. I couldn't give her anything numerical, of course, so I just said, "well, they're much better". And that got me to thinking about it.
If you were to put the top 10 male golfers and the top 10 female golfers and made them play the same tees, one or two rounds on a typical man's layout and one or two rounds on the typical woman's layout What do you think the score average would be?
Just a bar room type discussion.
Play well this weekend.

There are many great female golfers. But at the distance the men play they would just get rolled.

There's a mixed event in Australia. They play in mixed tee times and the winner is the winner, but they play men's and women's tees.

I think the scores would be closer if they play the women’s tees because I think the “skill” gap probably isn’t very wide.
If the women are playing Torrey Pines at 7800 yards, the gap is much much wider

If you want to feel emasculated go play with a girl that played in college. You will get smoked if you're not a scratch golfer.

The obvious distinction is distance, which everyone points to. You have to also look at type of course. If the rough is grown up such as a US Open, PGA, our Tour Championship, that hugely favors the men. Women wouldn’t be able to hit much more than a wedge out of that rough due to strength. The other factor is pin placements. Phil Mickleson played that Senior event and went really low. Afterwards he said he was able to take dead aim at every single pin. The pga guys can hoist a 5 iron straight up in the air, 220, as stop it quickly. There’s many more pins accessible to them than the women. Mickleson also talked about how cups on PGA were placed on knobs where it can get hard to be aggressive putting, but we’re flat with the Senior setup. I’m sure it’s the same with LPGA.

Those long par 4s they will be hitting a long iron into the green vs a 7-9 for men. Likely can’t make any par 5s in 2 either. At least they are cute nowadays. Back when I was a kid, they mostly looked like me with tits.

So far in the Olympics the difference seems to be putting. The men were making everything on these greens & the ladies are struggling, for the most part.
