re: What would you shoot at the Masters if you could play?

I'd lose all my balls by the 4th hole and be forced to forfeit.

probably 90 something but hopefully pride would kick in and id break 90

like flush lies everywhere, perfect greens, and a good complimentary breakfast.....yea i can break a 100

if i played every par 4 as a par 5 and every par 5 as a par 6 I wouldnt shoot more than +5 on the par 5 and 6's and then i could just bogey every par 3 for 99

you are severely underestimating my handicap


ETA: or should I say overestimating

The highest round last year was 83

so

yea

I can definitely break a 100, and its shorter this year

and that was from the player who played his absolute worst

when those guys play there worst they dont beat a lot of true scratch players who play alright

Sophandros, you heading to New Orleans this weekend with Old White?

eta...just saw your other thread


I'd say 150-160 for me. It would be brutal.

So there's a good comparison. If a 5 can shoot 91 at Sawgrass, then I'm thinking you could break 90 at Augusta. I'd like to think I could break 100. I'd be happy with anything under 110, though.

Sophandros - how many shots do you think this "added presure" would add to ones score. I played there a month ago. I shot 78. I am a washed up golfer who is probably a legit 3 handicap. I putted terrible that day. I just do not think that the added presure would add 20 shots to my score.

The course will be harder (read shorter) this week. On average that would be about a club less a hole (help my score 2 shots). So now we are at 76. In tournament conditions, I would not go for 15 in two (help my score 1 shot) we are at 75. I am sure the pins would be in harder spots, I had five threeputts when I played - let's double that (hurt my score 5 shots). So we are at 80 (with putting terrible - I had 37 putts when I played would have 42 putts in this example). I just do not think that this added presure you talk about will make my score go up 20 shots. Maybe I am crazy but I do not see it.

And remember I am currently not a scratch golfer. Let's see what Wilson shoots. He is about a scratch player. I will even spot you a few shots and says he breaks 90 both days.
