The Harman Kardon speakers are on the hillside behind the green, camouflaged by the undergrowth.

Yes, many do. It's only a few days in a year and you get a chance to go to Augusta National.

Not all, of course, but many of the "all" are international people. DCP is mostly U.S.-based (with some parts of Canada coming in to compete, though maybe not so much last year).

Has your daughter or any of your students entered the competition?

Since it started in 2013 I would think that some of the past participants that made it to Augusta would have been of college age by now.

I am referring to the term "beneath" and its implications, not the notion that a golfer can be successful by bypassing tournaments.

Yeah...but I am sure some arrogant dicks have gone on to be very successful.

I look at some of the older participants that made it to Augusta and it just seems that they don't seem to have exceptional talents. I know that there are 14 to 15 year olds that participate at a high level in the game and would probably mop the floor with the DC&P crowd. I was just wondering what the deal was.

Dustin Johnson 16 under

I based mine on astrological influences, palmistry and phrenology, plus a bit of channeling. And, contrary to what you might suspect, alcohol played only a minor part.

Riding high? He now has the pressure to support her in a certain lifestyle... jet-setting wife and daughter

Yes, my daughter finished third at Baltusrol and we have taught more than a few who won or competed at Augusta National.

I don't think DC&P is where you look to see stars of the future. It's a #growthegame initiative.

Dustin Johnson -17

I'll give a free TST towel to the first person who names the winner (full name, not just last name) and the correct winning score in relation to par.

Only one entry per person, and your first entry is the only one that counts. Entries must be posted before 7am eastern time on Thursday.

This is a Players Towel, so they're quite nice.

Xander Schauffele, -11
