Not being cocky. But if I wasn't injured. I'm Betting I could break 90 from the members tees there

Under normal conditions I would say yes. Under these conditions I would take the over.

Are we talking about Undershooters chances of breaking 100 or 90?

 

He's breaking 100 every time if he plays smart and 90 most of the time - like 80 percent.

 

Tony Romo did in fact play one of the open courses from the tips at Bethpage Black. Golf digest had a contest to choose a 10 handicapper who would try to break 100 with the course set up open style the week after the Open itself. He played with 3 celebs, Matt Lauer (no comment), Michael Jordan and Romo.

 

I don't recall what Romo shot but it was around 80 and perhaps he broke it. I believe Jordan shot in the 90's while Lauer and the lucky winner who was quite ill (dying of cancer) were just north of 100.

 

I know this because I made several cuts but missed the final 12 whom readers voted for when they determine that my handicap was too low - they wanted someone close to a 10.

 

At any rate I had my strategy in mind - I was going to find the longest course that I could and work on playing all Par 4's over 400 yards long as if they were par 5's and laying up on par 3's short of the trouble and thick rough.

I heard they were considering making all New Yorkers wear those Dog Bark Collars, that shock the bejesus out of you every time you make loud vocalizations.

I like the idea - better than wrist bands.

I'm pretty sure Mark Wahlburg broke 100 a few years back on a US Open course within a week of the tourney and he is a 10 handicap who doesn't play the ball down regularly.

Just because its hard doesn't mean its impossible. It's just golf. Hard golf but golf all the same.

1. I did say one guy did it

2. One guy did it

Yeah. Just so I'm clear. I am not comparing Undershooters chances to 7 handicap radio jock. Not by a long stretch.

 

I agree on your assesment of his chances.

 

Yes, it was Bethpage, I was referring to, not Torrey. That's so cool you made so far.

 

They should have picked you. Imagine the story line they could habe used, saying you'd need some Devine intervention to break 80 or 90. Ha

You don't have to mock me. I was hitting the ball better than I ever have earlier this year.At last give me some credit buddy. Let's just say I would do my best from the senior tees to break 90.If I hit it well and tried my best.If I failed then laugh as much as you want.But what if I did ?

Keep it in the short stuff

Commentators betting Phil says that was a reaction to hole placements during the week. Curious if he goes hard on it, or just makes light of it.

I don't blame Phil for doing that, dude didn't want to walk all the way down the green again. If anything, it helped keep pace of play. The phrase "disrespect for the game" needs to be retired unless they're going to do something about the jackasses yelling after every shot.

The commentators are being annoying about the entire Phil situation. Saying his reputation is going to be hurt, yada yada. Doubtful that will ever happen, Phil is such a liked guy.

You know he did what he did - he got over aggressive on his putt, paid the price and didn't want to go back to the cart to get another club.

 

I could care less.

 

Instead the story needs to be Johnson's start and the great leaderboard vying for this championship on a very demanding golf course.

 

Sorry I will have to turn this off at 530 for church. Tomorrow should be fun.

Yeah I don't get it. He's not going to win because of that play, how can you be bothered by it so much? People have sticks so far up their prison wallet sometimes, I don't know how they sleep at night without the amount of bull going on in the world and you get fussy about this.
