eball Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I know some of us follow the tour...the first tourney of the playoffs is this week and today, Scottie Scheffler shot a 59 (-12 on the par 71 layout) and right now Dustin Johnson is on the course at -9 thru EIGHT (yes, eight) holes. Never seen anything like it. Edited August 21, 2020 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Hence why I only watch majors and perhaps one or two others throughout the year. I want harder courses! Edited August 21, 2020 by Seasons1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong answer. This is about a couple of golfers having phenomenal rounds, not a course that is too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethpage Black is on the phone for Mr. eball. So is Augusta on a Sunday. Easy peasy. shoot 59 in a major, and you have my FULL attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they had to soak the greens between 3rd and 4th rounds to keep the players from crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I agree with Seasons. I like tournaments where the winning score is somewhere around -6 to -8. These tourneys where the winners are -20 or so are not that fun for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible greenskeeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
