id imagine your best day (off 6) is still a fair way short of mickelsons best. He’s won scottish opens and the open, so sure he’s alright at links too….
people saying they’d shoot near their handicaps playing an open set up ??????
What would you score at Royal St George's?

I'll take that bet.
I'd pay you a £ for every stroke under 100 you were, you pay me a £ for every stroke over 80 you were. That's on the basis that the rough is how it is now, you are off the very back tees and you didn't have spotters.

Most of the pros there would not break 80 without ball spotters.
If all my game was working I would not need a ball spotter to see my ball on the fairway.

Ten over is hardly Phil best!
They are attacking the course trying to score as low as poss .
We can’t do that and would play more conservatively.
The carries off the tee would be the problem imo.

I think it’s somewhere to enjoy the experience of playing a huge range of shots, rather than worrying about the score.
I’d be delighted with 130!

I think they meant that Phil was trying his hardest that day, as a professional golfer and that's all he could score.
He's a 6 Major winner but if you want to compare yourself to him and think you can score the same then crack on

You can't play conservatively and try to score there.
I'd take pretty much any bet on the under over for any handicap golf playing a major under major conditions.

It’s a hypothetical question which I gave a hypothetical answer to
Quote” if all my game was on”
I won’t miss any fairways, my lay ups will all land where they should and I won’t miss any greens and won’t have any three putts.
Some of you guys need a hobby.

I play a lot of links golf I love it.
Plus 80 is ten over par.
I won’t miss any fairways QUOTE]
Yes this is where you compared yourself to him. "I won't miss any fairways'.
Don't make me laugh son, you're a dreamer
I’ve never met you, but, a simple question. Do you drive it 300 yards?
if the answer is no, then anywhere within 10 shots of par is cuckoo! yes, you best ever shot in every single hole would helip, but just be realistic.

Can you name a pro who has hit every fairway this week off the back tees over 3 rounds?
But you say you can do it off 6 handicap?

How can you be realistic to a hypothetical question.
Read my original post #62 there’s three scenarios.
I could score anything there but hypothetically if I hit every shot flush I would expect to play very well.

Not if he shot the 80 he stated. He’d be miles off the pace for the championship.
You should take the Claret Jug now mate, forget the last round.

For the hard of thinking:
Club champ stated that with a low wind and ball spotters (as per the OP).
If he hit every shot perfectly, he might shoot 78-80.
Which frankly is possible for a perfect round.
He also stated that otherwise his score would be a lot higher.
Try reading threads/posts properly before being knobs.

12 par 4’s over 400yds, two of which are beyond 475yds, which used to be the distance par 5’s start for us mortals. Two par 3’s well over 200yds. Narrow fairways and huge carries off the tee.
H’cap of 6, though I’ve not played a competitive round for 19 months, I’d be chuffed to break 100. If I got close to 90 I’d be dancing. Every missed fairway, assuming the ball would be found, would be a double bogey at best. How many par’s? If I made 4 I’d be dreaming, but that leaves 14 holes with an average of 2 over per hole = 98. Maybe 110-115 is more realistic.
