What do you think you would shoot at Augusta from the members tees, which, if I’m not mistaken, measure around 6400 yards? 

My handicap right now is 15.5. If I played Augusta, I don’t think the length would be much of a problem for me, but the greens probably would. Despite not being cut to Masters pace, I imagine they would be rolling at around 12. Given that, I think I’d be very happy with something around 100-105. A great day might be around 95, but I put the 100-110 option.

I don't think I'd shoot anything at Augusta. Their security guards would probably shoot me before I came anywhere near with a golf club in hand.

The greens are 12 during the Masters.

I’d shoot 68-74.

My good game, I probably can shoot in the low 80's or high 70's.

I opted for 100-110.  I would like to think I could scrape together a round in the 90's but it would likely come down to what sort of chips/putts I left myself.

I'd spend a month practicing putting up to the date of my round and shoot mid-high 70s. With my current game it's probably high 70s-low 80s.

I chose break 80.  From 6400 yards, length would not be an issue, should have short irons in on most holes.  I would hope to shoot right around a 72-76 somewhere in there.  I like faster greens over slower, but I think during regular (non-Masters) days, they would be rolling around a 10-11 maybe.

Tee to green is as nice as it gets, relatively no rough or penalizing type lies, as long as shots go to a spot (if you can do that).  Green speeds make less difference at Augusta, it's the undulations that take control.  If you get a veteran caddie, listen to him and it makes you look like a pro.  Without him, you're toasted.

You're a 12 handicap. From 6400 yards.

I’m not sure what I would shoot at Augusta, but I know it would be dream to play to there. It’s difficult to speculate, but the Augusta caddy assigned would certainly help save strokes. I’ve been a low handicapper a very long time but I still couldn’t guarantee a score there. I would be in awe the entire time.

Augusta is really not that difficult.  or, at least not to be put on a pedestal of difficult courses. 

43 players played the tournament under par last year, and it typically takes double digits under par to win.   from a difficulty standpoint, is usually pretty similar to The Payers Championship at Sawgrass.
Obviously not easy, but we're not exactly talking about a Winged Foot, or Carnoustie, or  Shinnecock here.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
