I've read the posts in US Open thread and I am revising the team's chance to make the cut and better.   Hard fairway with balls rolling a long time will add to the team's tee shot distance and the long par 4s now become less daunting.   If green is slow as reported, that's another advantage to the team.

Okay, let's look at the holes Hole, Par, yardage, comment 1- 4/5 - 598/496, they don't hit it in 2 as a par 5 and probably don't hit it in 2 as a par 4 2 - 4 - 399, they should be

We would miss the cut for a few slow play penalties. ;)

I think the slopes and fast greens would take some getting used to. With practice, they could make the cut easy and possibly be in contention on a good day. Really cool idea, and I'd actually watch like watching that.

After watching the first round the course is easier than I first expected, so a team of 6-7 handicappers could definitely compete or win. Fairways are wide (compared to the typical US Open), balls aren't bouncing off greens and the greens are only rolling at a 10 or 11.

That's damn funny!

I guess they'd make the cut, barely.

Is this a regular scramble, or one of those charity fundraisers where they can buy mulligans and a yard of string?

Yeah, I think the handicap team will do well, make the cut for sure and even win.  The course set up is still hard but, IMO, plays well into amateur players (wide fairway, nice roll out on drives, slow contouring green, ....).     The team will get a lot of look at birdie with 4 chances to make the putt.

The real question, do you think a scramble team of 6 or 7 handicappers could really beat Tiger, Rickie, and Louis?  I think not.
