    Thank you very much my friend GoodyChamp.

    This will be my last post on this thread and i 'd like to clarify everything because i get the feeling that more mocks are coming..

     

    As i said, don't considered myself as a top player or near anywhere 49 avg. Furthermore, i don't compete with Jessica or anyone else on this thread. I was forced to reply in that way.

    Something that started out as a joke (come on you guys...it's a game!!) has become for some a source of embarassment or ''kill the enemy'' thing. How can i consider these 2-3 impolite and provocative posts? If you were me what would you think?

    My 2 rounds that GC shows in the picture came on Kiawah with the following conditions:

    Unlimited round play

    Easy tees

    Calm Winds

     

    So, i believe it's not something extraordinary or extremely difficult to do (plus, i was lucky on that last shot and made an eagle hitting out of the green). The funny thing is that what happened, didn't happen over a night. In the last week as a TM was standing around 55-56 then i had 6 or 7 wins against Legends and my avg dropped to 51 (if i remember well). WGT decides to raise my tier eventhough i hadn't done more of 15 ranked rounds.

    Afterwards as a leg played these 2 rounds and saw the avg dropping to 49. Would like to share it with you as a funny thing and so i did. Never thought the outcome would be totally different with insults and mocks. As a new player, thought i 'd had the support from the great players to keep playing and having fun, instead...

     

    End of story and amen!!!

     

    PS

    Wish you all good rounds and keep playing the game always in an honest and respectful way. As for Jessica, it's only a matter of time!! Keep going dear!!

    So long.

    Kudos to Yiannis ! A 49.0 average is something to be proud of, especially in only 8 months of play and 92 ranked founds...truly an amazing eye opener   ~ SP ~

    Yes it is! Even though both players are doing it from the easy tees on the 2 easiest 9 holes we have IMO, even more impressive....\/ \/ \/ enough said \/ \/ \/

    I still say I'd like to see her completion percentage before going any further.  If it's green, very impressive.  If it's yellow, not bad.  If it's orange, lackluster.

    Anyone can quit after making a par (or birdie on 4).

    I don't understand why those players  with that kind of average don't play ready go more often.

    For exemple i'm only  an average player and win 1287.00 $ in career earnings, it's a mystery to me why they don't have that kind of earnings in career.

    Because, last I checked, RGs don't usually play from the kiddie tees in low wind, and allow you unlimited chances to cherry-pick a certain score.

    RGs measure what kind of player you are, not what kind of player you want to be perceived as.

    Yep.  It's all very well having a sub 50 average but it's utterly meaningless if it's achieved on only 1 set of 9 holes, with short tees, low wind and unlimited rounds. 

    I'd be interested to see what the scores would be like on Olympic, Merion or Oakmont with high wind.  Hell, I'd be interested to see them from any other 9 holes than BPB F9.

    Each to their own but I really think someone who does this isn't getting as much out of the game as they could.

    Edit: I stand corrected, Kiawah Island is the course of choice for some.  Certainly a tougher course to score 24 on than BPB.

    It just depends on what people want from the game.  If having sub-50 makes you happy, God bless.  I know lots of one-trick ponies like this, who can put up impressive numbers on a very specific course in very specific conditions.  However, that's all they have.  You put them on Merion full 18 and they'll do good to shoot their IQ.  They'll never be considered "elite", or anything close.

    As brought up before by someone else, look at her (albeit limited) MP record.  Hell, she has a losing record against tour masters.  In comparison, by percentages I beat more than 2/3 of all legends I play - and these are guys that outgear me almost universally (I play cheap balls, no Callies or Nikes or anything)

    And I've been told I suck.  :)

    I sort of disagree, from the front tees on Kiwiah a good player can be -5 after 3 holes, -10 after 7 fairly easy with good clubs....IMO it easier to score -12 at KW than -11 at BPB

     

    Like E1 said, it's cool if you want to do it, but it doesn't make you great player...
