For me A would win every single time

I. Use the Taylormade my round pro app. I note down all my details on a separate card whilst playing and then add it after. Mine compares me against a scratch golfer but you can do pro,5,10 etc
Unfortunately it’s based on US handicap, and I’d probably be better than scratch in the US but it’s a benchmark

You can use it whilst on the course and tap each time you hit a shot but I find it distracting

Unless the amateur in A has the yips (particularly when chipping) really badly B doesn’t stand a chance, and even then I wouldn’t think they could do it
I think A would win the vast majority of the time but wouldn't say every time. Would be interesting to see this happen somewhere and see what the difference in the scores would br

It's been done with 2 club pros, a 16 and a 17 handicapper (US handicaps) over 9 holes at Pelham country club. The equivalent of team A won by a stroke over 9 holes.
However, simulated with tour player data, and over 18 holes team A dominates even more.

What about for the sake of a separate argument on Augusta?
Thoughts?
A golfing pro once said to me, "they reckon" that if you put an average scratch golfer's ball on the front edge of each green at Augusta, he would be lucky to still break 100.

If by huge exaggeration you mean complete nonsense, then I would agree!
Are we missing part of the story? Were they also installing some windmills and loop the loops on the greens!

Wasn't it Paul McGinley, who reckoned he could beat a handicapper (can;t remember the handicap), if the amateur's ball was on the front fringe and he played from the back tees?What about for the sake of a separate argument on Augusta?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
The easiest way to sort this out is for Golf Monthly to sort this out.
Am sure GM could sort out a couple of pros and 18 handicappers for this.
If GM could sort it out that the 18 hcappers are playing with PXG clubs and are playing at one of trumps courses, I may well fiddle my hcap to enter said comp.

Didn't Tappers play Augusta in the Journalists draw the day after the Masters? I seem to remember he was about 8ish over with 3 or 4 to play when he had to leave to catch the flight home. Could be me, not remembering, but if right, then it isnt that silly. They do have members who play there afterall.

I remember something like that.
Paul Hagen perhaps ?
I recall a comment like:
“if you get to within 10ft, you have a great chance of making the putt, because the greens are so good.
But the chance of getting to within 10ft is unlikely “

Dunno, the fella who said it to me was the Pro at Sandiway.
Doing the maths, they would already have 36 putts, as such to play with, so if a par of 72 they would have an extra 28. So in effect 64 putts to end up with 100 shots.
64 divided by 18 is 3.55 putts per green.
3 or 4 putts on every green? Not impossible, but I havent played on Augusta's greens. They are notorious though and is the same stimp as the masters, dont think it would be too far away. I'd say breaking 90 would be good in that situation, put it that way.

I'm working on doing something on the channel with Peter O'Malley the Aussie who now plays on the senior tour. One of our former captains is very good friends with him and POM usually plays at Ascot a few times in the summer. I might see if he's up for it
