The pros on your local course

I really would like to see the touring pros trying to putt on cones at my home course. Guys who I feel would struggle bad on cone baskets are avery Jenkins, Dave feldberg and any other push putters. Spin putters rule because they putt level and not high to low. I would think Eric McCabe, Michael Johansen, Cale leiviska and Paul Macbeth would fare well

Seriously:doh:
 
I'm looking forward to seeing what Dollar and his peers do at the Cobb County Open B-tier in a couple of weeks. He's note at the elite touring level, but he's certainly on a different level from anyone I play with.

He's a very underrated player, I was in a doubles tourney he was in at McCurrey in Fayetteville. Don't know who his partner was but they didn't use his shots at all. Got like a 46 when par is 60 I think.
 
Pro's don't come to my mediocre home course. Come to think of it, we only play there because it's close. :/

Dollar and Matlack shot dual 44's at the Fayette County Fall Classic (BYOP). Par at McCurry is 57.
 
No true golfer would include an ace in his definition of a perfect round on a real golf course.

Okay then. If aces don't count then ALL of Carl "cubby"'s aces are just as good. That is such crap. If 1 didn't count on the scorecard, then why do pros Mark it down and have it count towards lowering their scores in tournaments?

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you said.
 
Spencer Wilken, our local pro, does a pretty darn good job of tearing the local courses up.
 
Pretty sure dave feldberg has the course record at my home course. Its always been a toss up who really has it tho. i hear from diff ppl
 
Well my home course lets you know how bad you suck at putting because it's so easy(Crane Creek). I can get inside the circle on almost every drive but have yet to finish better than 5 under(I suck at putting), but I bet any of the top 10-20 pros would end up at 15-20 under par.
 
I have no idea who has the course records for the three in town. I'd think Eric McCabe has maybe one or all. Jones East being used a lot and recently for the GBO might mean any big name could have it. I wouldn't know. I don't even know who would. Probably Eric.
 
The local pro masters player has the course record at stuart nelson at -15 or -16 I believe. It would be pretty ridiculous to top it. It's a challenging and balanced course (if you play it as a couple of par fours instead of the 10 that the course par suggests) that would require all around skill so I think any top pro player with enough power could tie it or potentially break it. My guess would be definitely be Wysocki because of his overall skill, power, and loong sidearms which would help him out big time on several tough holes.
 
I don't know this guy, but he shot a -54 at our local course, according to an entry at DiscGolfScene:

Tournament layout, 24 holes
08.08.09 27 (-45) by Mitch Sylvain
 
Either you are really good or you are lying... I find it hard to believe the top pro in the world would "likely get close" if he played your course a few more times, as he would probably beat it by a quite a few.
I'm ok and its my home course. -8 was the previous record and I'm still the only one who has shot better than that (-9, -10, -10, -11) so -7 is a solid score considering the difficulty of the course.
 
I would like to see how any pro would attack our home town course. I think they would need a good roller to get close to the basket on the wooded holes as there are few windows to the basket. There have been no recorded ACES that I know of since it opened last November. There are 3 open par 4 eagle opportunities that I have yet to take advantage of but anyone with a 400' drive could.

What course do you speak of?

You truly are clueless. Who said Aces don't count? work on your reading comprehension then come back and try to talk sense here. You bring up Cubby aces. how many of those are in PDGA rounds? how many of those are on first throws? the OP is talking about course records in COMPETITION.

Here is a post from a very respected member if this community and TD

craig gangloff has held the course record at hawk hollow (52) for a long time at this point- 47 is perfect there imo so one of the big guns could improve on it in theory but it hasn't happened yet.

Ask Biscoe how many aces he included in his mention of 47 being perfect for his course (which he built on his land and is a top rated course on this website)

My point is aces in competition are what is referred to as a bonus. I feel confident no Professional golfer would disagree with this general statement. It is like deucing a really long par 4 with a lucky throw in. Yeah it counts and yeah you write it on the scorecard. BUT it probably required a little bit of luck to happen. The luck factor is why it is not calculated into what someone would consider a perfect round. A perfect round generally consists of what a person would do to throw as many quality shots as it would take to shoot the lowest possible score on every hole excluding luck! You are literally arguing a moot point here.
