The more I think about it, the more I think the score is going to be well over 100. The guy selected is an 8 hdcp. I think most 8-10 hdcp players would have trouble breaking 100 on ANY PGA Tournament course during tournament week and playing the tour tees, much less an OPEN course. Remember the conditions of this challenge: Tour tees and green speeds, nationwide network TV, gallery, playing with celebrities, etc. Remember...every swing counts in this one. No mulligans or gimmies...and PRESSURE will be incredible. It's going to be a train wreck out there.

I agree that's it is possible the 2 index could do it, which is why I put in the range that I did. I just don't think an 8 has a chance unless he has a career round; which is unlikely under the circumstances.

Part of it will be what I call the "(Johnny) Miller Effect". If he plays well and it looks like he's got a chance on the back 9, it will get infinitely harder to pull the club back for each swing. The last few holes could be really ugly. I hope not...just being realistic.

Agreed. No matter how benign the conditions are, there is no way a 4-10 index player can break 100 on TP, or any of Open courses in the current rotation. (Maybe Merion just because it's quite a bit shorter. A sub-4 index MIGHT break 100 if he has a career day, driving it long and putting well. Add the pressure of live network TV, celebrities, etc. and I would bet the farm that these guys don't come closer than, say, a 105. I expect there will be some penalty shots and at least a few "tap-ins" that are missed under the pressure of the day. That assumes they REALLY play the Open tees, rough depth and green speeds. If they wimp out (unlikely) on the setup then it's more achievable. Still, it will be fun to watch. Everyone loves a train wreck (i.e.NASCAR) and will especially love to see the celebs getting beaten up.

I'm from the South Bay area of L.A. I've been lurking here for awhile and figured it was time to contribute!

I have foot problems galore and wear podiatrist built orthotic inserts almost all of my street shoes and golf shoes. The only shoes I don't need them in are my Eccos and FJ Reel Fit adjustables. Both are extremely comfortable...and I walk almost every round I play.

In the 2007 model it was an Aldila NV HL65 65 gram mid-kick built for Cobra. Now I have the 2008 model with an Cobra Aldila VS Proto-HL 65. I have no idea if there is any difference other than a different color paint. I hit both of them great!

Try the Cobra Baffler DWS hybrids. The 2007 discontinued models are on sale at TGW and others for $99. I have the 3 and 4 hybrids in my bag with the stock graphite shafts and they are long and straight. Very easy to hit with confidence.

Just switched to a TM Burner TP 8.5* with a TP Fujikura Rombax Technology shaft. Longest, straightest driver I've ever owned.

I love this TGW special: http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...TEGORY_ID=2779 3 great Etonic gloves for $17 (plus shipping but no tax). I've ordered three sets so far and no disappointment. I find the gloves to be the equal of FJ Sta-soft. I've also occasionally purchased the Callaway 3 glove special at Costco for about $18.

I just put the 4 wood and 7 wood in my bag. These are truly underrated. My own club pro didn't even know much about them. But these things are the longest, straightest fairway woods I've ever hit. Truly amazing. I want to try out their latest driver and see if it performs as well as the CB2 woods. Incredible weapons.
