we have our national final open-qualifying every FEB off the tips, which is just over 7000yards

the winners always around the mid 60's  ... maybe low 60's for PGA tour players ... our rough can be very unforgiving being links course hard baked sand pockets only a yard off some fairways which can be narrow in places ...

I've been around a bit, and I'll say that as long as people stick with arguments that are based on logic, data, and common sense that Erik truly enjoys the back and forth of debate. Challenging opinio

I voted for low 60's. There's a point of diminishing returns, even for PGA tour professionals, for a course of reasonable length (over 6,500 yards or so).  I think the likelihood of shooting 59 w

An statistical approach to the question. HomeCourse: Back Tees 6550 Yards, really open course, the wind and greens are the primary defense. Considering Tour Driving average distance of 290 y

And what about the people that finish near the bottom? The average?

low 80's ....most of the field are amateurs the best +4 +5 HC ..  I'd love to see one of the US PGA rated playesr come and play ..at the moment temp around the 80s .. but in the afternoon daily strong gusty winds at times mix that in with some tough multi-tier greens 7000yd+ not the easiest course

My club in England hosted the US Open final qualifying for Europe for the first time in 2005. Michael Campbell actually came through that venue and went on to win, which was kind of fun. I'm not sure how it was that year, but one of the years, the winner shot 64-66. Roughly 100 players in the field I think. DFL was 74-74 for 148. We had our club championships the following weekend. Same tees. The winning score was 147 I think. Now, when the pros did that, they had to get 100 players around twice in the day so time was tight and they put the pins all in the middle of the greens to keep things moving. For the club champs, they pretty much tucked them all. No one really good was playing the club champs, but there would have been 30ish players off scratch or better in it.

A course record shows what they could shoot, not what they would shoot. 😄

      I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.

      Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now.

      A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.

      Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.

      I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
