Okay, now I get it.

I'd say it was more than an "educated guess" type of "think" given the fact that you quoted some odds. I definitely wouldn't bet against you. :smartass:

That is the best way. The principles in Lowest Score Wins still apply. Specifically, "The Rule" still applies. The distance gradient still applies. Etc. Right now, taking what he

Plot twist:  The pro's name is Joe.  The "joe's" name is Mark.

Haha... I'll take the amateur 20 handicap who goes by the name of Mark... if that's his real name ;-)

OK just so were all on the same page. The difference on the Tees is more like 250 for 9 holes depending on excatly were they are. On several holes it would mean the hitting an 8 iron instead of a 6, which would mean I could be much closer to the hole ill take it if he will give it. I was terrible on the range today. just a friendly wager $10 a hole double you winnings for the match. So worse case scenario or best is $180 The Round is free. I did I mention both the pro and Joe are one year older today.

Take the distance, even more if you can! I noticed*** there are black tees and white/green tees. I would get him to play back and you forward, too.

A 3 handicap is generally 2 clubs stronger than a 20 HC if not more. So, the second shot is probably 20 yards closer for him and another 2 clubs shorter on the approach.

Do you have some statistics we could play with?

What is your average drive and your current longest drive?

What is his average driving distance?

***Are you playing this course? Front or back?

Unnecessary info, the Joe (20 HC) wins, hands down.

I have never notice either the black or green tees, I think Ill start with the black and greens and settle for blue vs white. Thinking about the driver I think I will be hitting to drivers of the Tee. It takes a relly bad shot to hit out of play and with two shots I have a good chance to get one of them out 250, longest drives this year 275 usually get one of them a round.

You should win. . .now I'm wondering why the 3 HC took the bet?

Yeah, he should make back the $180 in one or two lessons. ;-)

Have fun.

I'm pretty sure that he realizes how hard it is. It still seems like a poor bet to take. I play matches with my instructor (no strokes), but he won't bet anything with me.

But you aren't a 20 handicapper either.

Like @iacas pointed out, the 20 is going to shoot around 46 just playing one ball, he can only improve with the second ball. The 3 handicap is going to have to play pretty solid to beat him.

Sorry...I was replying  to Pretzel's comment about playing his instructor, not to the OP about his challenge.
