If anybody is curious how we "compare" to prospective pros ;) ... here is the up to date scores for PGA Tour Canada Qualifying school: http://www.pgatourcanada.com/media/leagues/3776/graphics/Leaderboard,%20Round%204%20(7).pdf

They had round 4 suspended because of darkness after a 90 minute fog delay in the morning.  It's a 72 hole tournament, and I presume they play each course twice.  Top 20 get exempt status on Tour, and next 20 get non exempt status.

Fog? There? Nah.... I don't believe it.

Erik is T2. I bet he wins. We usually do. ;) Is there a guy named "Mike" he can beat by a stroke for the overall individual win?

Some guys in there are like +30.  Did you play from the same tees they did?

If they played from the tips on all holes, which I presume they did, then we matched them on about half the holes.  Out tees were in the right place (one box up) on the other half.  The tips are 7400, ours were supposed to be 6800, and I'm guessing we were right in the middle of that.

And I also noticed a lot of guys WD'd after stinking up the joint for a round or two.

Yes, all of us played from the tips. It was a good experience. My son ran out of steam after 9. Got his second wind at the 18th. I need to get used to using mid, longer irons and hybrids for the approach shot. All in all we had a great time, though.

Correction: Some of us played from the blues. Didn't help, but c'est la vie.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
