Tour Pro Scoring on The International-Pines Course

[Seals]

Saw this course mentioned in the 702 yard par 5 thread..,

http://clubsg.skygolf.com/courses/scorecard.php?id=7333

Assuming the tour pros get in their normal routine like at any other tournament (practice rounds and range work), what would ...

the final winning score be?

the low round of the week?

What are you asking about? There are two courses. One is 8325 yards.

The course rating is 81.7, so they'd average about 76. The low would be about 70, probably.

Just some quick figures. PGA Tour pros are about +4 to +6, and of course that's the average of their best half of their rounds, so their true average is higher.

Well, the ones that is 8300 yards. I did say Pines Course.

The tour pros would average 76? They play on courses rated 76+ all the time and still shoot 8-12 under.

i heard at that level, handicap gets thrown out. Phil doesn't go up to Spieth and say hey, I'm a +5 and you're a +6. Give me some strokes!

People have still calculated their handicaps. It's not that difficult to do.

I meant that in a more figurative way. There is not a "hey I'm a plus 5 I can play on tour, there is more emphasis on tournament results than handicaps.

No one has still broken par there from the "Tiger Tees". Tom Watson I believe still holds the course record with an even par 73.

By plugging those tee distances into the strokes gained chart here, you get an average round of upper 70s.  Not sure if that adds to the conversation! Lots of variables to consider, but probably a decent starting point.

Yeah my initial post said 76-77 and 70-71, but I thought more people would try to argue with those, so I took off the higher number.
