This thread is dumb, i will state some facts.., can i hit a 340yard drive like tiger right up the gut...yes, but i will shoot high 90s cause i prolly will only do that once every 4 rounds.
Can lebron james beat me in disc golf. HELL NO! Can i hang with him on the court? I can dunk, i can shoot a 3 and make it. The answer is NO..,,

DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE WHERE IM GOIN WITH THIS?

Close thread

lol, no. please elaborate

Give a guy like that a few weeks and I bet he is 950+

Though I think baseball translates better.

I wouldn't say that... I'm sure Nate Robinson could beat lebron in a 3 point contest even through he is 5'6.... Why do you think lebron can beat any of us? Just cuz he is tall and muscular?

With his wingspan, everything inside the circle would be a drop in.

What I have learned so far from this thread is that I really like Ball Golf.....but it is too damn expensive!

Paul, you should keep playing! I was about a 12 handicap when I was 14...just started playing again..and the results weren't as good....a 106 followed by a 96.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic.

There is a book titled Paper Tiger that is a pretty good read if you ever want to hear a first hand account of what it is like to try and make the PGA (not PDGA) tour. There are tons of great "better than scratch" golfers that will never ever get a PGA card and never play on tour, though can still end up making millions on the Nationwide Tour, combined with endorsements, etc. It really is a pretty good read, I got a kick out of it, I used to play golf every day, even took lessons from the Stanford men's coach (my cousin was on the team). But I was no gift to golf, and still would not be if I tried picking it back up, though disc golf (later in life) came very easy, and I do believe it is in part from my training in golf, especially when it comes to putting. I comfortably shoot scores as good or better than any of the MPO scores posted in the 2011 Pro Worlds at Ryan Ranch or CSUMB/Oaks, but in reference to MJ's comments, my scores are on my local courses playing with familiar faces playing at a relatively brisk pace, I would go crazy if I had to play those slow tournament rounds with some dude who is totally sweating a putt and taking 5 minutes before he actually tosses the disc. When spring rolls around, my goal will be to try and roll up 20 under rounds at Ryan Ranch and CSUMB/Oaks (they are each 27 holes).
