Ok, we need one of our OT ballers to design an 18 hole putting only course with an exact replica of the masters greens. We'll use final day hole locations, and begin the putt from the part of the green farthest from the hole.

It's the only way to be sure.

Those greens are diabolical. And, as Gary McCord said (which got him banned for life at The Masters),


Tom Watson was such a prude.

Put the average 10 handicap at the back of #9 with a moderately tough middle pin and they may make a 10+.

I'm your guy! Put me in coach!
Seriously though, putting is my strength. I feel confident that I could keep it under par after 4 days.

Yep, his letter was over the top (no pun intended).

McCord was a great golf analyst with a great sense of humor. I miss him.

I’d wish you well. I’d love to try it myself, but I believe I’d pick up after lipping out my putt for a 7 on #10.

McCord, David Feherty and Peter Alliss for being so anti PC. I love golf announcers who do not take themselves too seriously.

If Poppy McIlroy can do it, so can you.

Note how fast the green is.

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.


I think this would be the biggest factor depending on pin placement. I think it's #5 thursday that had the pin close to the back center of the green. But if you were right edge you may have to putt through the fringe. And if you missed you may have a harder and longer putt coming back.

Dying at everyone in this thread saying they could make a putt in 2-3 attempts per hole

No way. Most have ZERO clue how difficult the runs are on those greens. It's like people who think they can beat Olympic runners in a marathon if they could start at the 16 mile mark.

Then in the pond on Number 4 (that fricking pond is placed perfectly for a slicer).
Swimming lessons to golf balls is my forte.

The game & I have agreed to both stay in our neutral corners.
