How many hole in ones does anyone here have in their lives?


One.

136 yard 8-iron. Caught it really thin, and it was a line drive that bounced twice, rolled up onto the green and in. Jubilant and kinda embarrassed at the same time.

The current average team size is 10, so not much difference. Regardless, from what I saw today, Charlie without the name would easily be able to get a spot at a Southeastern right now. Not saying he could play there tomorrow but he would be someone with a committable offer now.


Imagine trying to compete for a spot against Tiger’s son. Good luck lol. His son will be able to play at just about any school on name alone. Now making the tour is a whole different game, but he’ll obviously have the resources to be successful if he is committed.

If he keeps his head on straight and really wants to put the work in, he should have no problem making it.


Do y’all realize how hard the tour is to make? Most of the top ranked juniors won’t ever make it. To think all he has to do “is put in the effort” is crazy. He isn’t even on a big college golf radar right now in terms of actually competing much less tour golf

You are right about the tour, but he will be on just about every college radar if he can at least be average at that level which he is on pace for. Let’s be real

That’s not what I responded to. It took you two years to figure out the OWGR, you haven’t even heard of WAGR

lite (or very good) juniors can game the system to accrue a bunch of points. There aren’t enough resources in recruiting so it’s the only way to get your name out there if you don’t have connections in the game. I don’t think Charlie will have a problem with that.


That’s not true. Rolex and JGS have plenty of access to college coaches. I will say chasing wagr is the way to go early as possible. At the end of the day he will have to score to make top 5 on a decent team. Name can only get you so far. He hasn’t put up the numbers yet but we will see. I’m pulling for him.

I agree, I was only responding to the poster saying he was chasing amateur rankings, he hasn’t. He’s clearly a decent player, he made the Junior Am this year which is a big accomplishment. It seems like he probably started late and Tiger didn’t want to push him early on. He’s gotten a lot better over the last couple of years, and you’re nuts if you don’t think he’ll get an opportunity at a good program, he’s tiger woods son.

I agree he will get opportunity being tigers son but the programs can’t afford to take project players now with the roster limits. You have to immediately show up and put up the numbers. Maybe at a smaller school, yes. We will see.

I never said “he chased points”. But he has played enough events to be ranked far higher than he is if he was truly an elite prospect. He just isn’t right now. That’s ok

I haven’t followed this that closely other than knowing the limits changed. Is it total roster limits or scholarship athletes? I would assume Eldrick can afford tuition for a couple years

So if his results were better in the events he played he wouldn’t be ranked higher?

It’s roster limits of 9 at schools that fully fund their program so teams that have say 10-14 which is about avg are going to have to start cutting. I guess you could justify cutting an older player struggling to make the top 5 for tigers son but at a top program that will be harder to justify.

Yeah if you only play smaller field tournaments in south Florida he should be dominating. Go look up miles Russell. His age in Florida. Bigger, better fields on courses with higher ratings matter. Conditions, distance, pressure, etc.

Yeah that’s what I thought, I know there’s going to be a significant number of players moving down over the next year or so.

I would assume by the time Charlie is going to college all of that will have mostly worked itself out. Again, he made the Junior Am so it’s not like he stinks. I can’t imagine after what Tiger did for Stanford that they wouldn’t have a spot for Charlie if he wanted it

If an event doesn’t give out hardly any ranking points to begin with it doesn’t matter what place you get.

Getting 5/8ths of 1 point or 3/4ths of one point is still almost no points
