The general contractor at my job constantly tells me about how great he is, he hits the ball 290-315 and has a 96% green hit from 186 yards with 6 iron yada yada yada.He claims to be a 6 handicap.I play to about a 12 and a coworker of mine is a 10.He agreed to play us, our best ball against his match play,him from the black tees and us from the whites for $20 a hole.

What are our chances?

Ratings from tees Black 7310 yds 75.7/152

Blue 6406 yds 71.7/138

This might help with opinions the whites are forward tees so we will probably end up playing the blues the whites are only 5100 yds

If you are serious about this, you will have to take this guy on and take his money. He says he is a 6 handicap and hits 96% of the greens with a 6 iron from 180 out. BS. He hits 96% of nothing. Nobody does that and if they did, they would be lower than a 6. Here are my stats for an Average Round of Golf, and I am a 4 handicap.

Score - 79.5
Avg Drive - 265
Fairways - 7 / 14 (50%)
Greens In Reg - 8 / 18 (45%)
Putts per Round - 31.3
Sand Save % - 32%

Per Round
Eagles - 0.035
Birdies - 1.4
Pars - 9.1
Bogies - 6.1
Double Bogies - 1.2
Triple Bogies - 0.2
Other (+4 or worse) - 0.035

I'm a stats freak and I am really strict about my stats. No fudging on my numbers. These are comprehensive over 46 rounds this year. Your friend obviously only remembers his good shots. Make sure you play from a tee that is between 6400 and 6700 yards, just in case he wants to pull any crap. Your chances are definitely better than you think.

If it were me I would've been on my cell phone right then and there booking a tee time!!!

a) 295-315 is a BIG average drive stat....
b) Even Tiger Woods doesn't hit 96% of GIR from 186....

So it's possible his cap is a bit different than the "6" he claims to be....more than likely higher.

However when going into a wager like this one...you do have to be cautious.
I don't know the guy...but is it possible he's baiting you guys into a match? Or is it more of a guy says he's better than he really is.

That being said, I'm assuming it's going to be heads up...no strokes?
If so how confident are you and your partner in regards to playing to you caps?
Because if this guy really is a 6....you guys are spotting him a bunch of strokes which may/may not be made up by the fact you guys are playing best ball.

For myself I currently play just off scratch....but remember when I played to a 4-5 I was prettty dangerous in match play because in matches I tend to make a pile of pars, 1-2 birdies, a handful of bogeys, and next to no doubles.
Since I made a lot of pars....it seemingly forced my opponants to play too agressively since they felt they needed birdies to win....and put huge pressure on them if they mishit a shot, as they felt a bogey was at very best a push....

My friend and I thought it was kind of far fetched when he told me about his greens hit.I thought his handicap was high the way he claims to drive it and hit greens.Either he's a terrible putter or he's full of it.Anyway,I make a lot of pars and not many birdies but I do have the rounds when I make a couple birdies and even an occasional eagle.I don't hit the ball very far,my average carry distance is around 215-225 but pretty accurate.I don't hit many greens but I'm pretty confident in my chipping and putting.I honestly think we can take him.I'm pretty confident in playing to my handicap and since it's match play that occasional big number isn't really going to kill me.My friend plays very well, awesome with the irons so I'm hoping he'll pick me up on my bad holes and I'll carry him on his bad ones.

Anyway,we were hoping to play on Sunday but he has to seal the floor on the jobsite so hopefully next weekend.

I have no idea what he's talking about 96% bs... But if he's really a 6, his average is about an 80... if you do this, lay down the rules before hand. Make sure he understands the rules of golf. None of this play the OB like a lateral hazard, or rolling the ball, etc. Tell him you play the ball down and play by all the rules of golf.

I have to say, however, if you DO play him for $20 a hole, he may be closer to a +6... let us know how it goes!

BTW, I would think you should be able to shoot about a best ball 74 or 75... Depends on what type of 10 and 12 handicappers you are. Some 10s make a lot of pars, but have their share of 7s and 8s.

Well my partner and I played a practice round today and shot a best ball score of 73.My drives and putts were awesome and his irons are greta I think we have a good shot at winning.

The rating for the course we played today is 69.3/131 so it's pretty similar to the course we're going to play

lol my thoughts exactly. there's really only one time i've seen someone get hustled, and it was a buddy right after our central valley golf tournament in high school.

i would be amazed if this guy actually hustled you and actually won.

I think you guys can play half decent and beat him man...

If he's playing the back tees on a track that's 75/150 or something I would call him a long shot to win.

On a side note, I played off scratch last year and I wouldn't have even taken this bet for $20/hole on that course.

Is this Ko'olau?

Man, tough course. He must be into some type of golf-masochism. He's going to play for $20/hole from the tips... he's either a stick or a moonshine-dipping alcoholic.

Play well man. Take his money, then sell him a bridge.

I play off a hair under 12 and my buddy just over 10. I'd put us BB against a 6cap for all my savings, my bag and my car. Consider that if the guy is a legit 6 he should only shoot that about 20% of the time. So he has a good round, maybe and shoots a 78-80 on a par 72. I avg. a birdie per round and my buddy avg's 2. I avg. just over 7 pars and he's around 9. If we get lucky and split up our "blow ups" we'd destroy a 6cap by 7 or 8 strokes. This would also be a good bet since I play par 3's very well and he plays par 5's very well.

I'd consider it $$ in the bank if all the #'s are right... but I think he's BSing anyway which will give you even more of an advantage.

man this guy is ballsy. koolau?!?!?! that is one tough track to play, especially from the tips. luana and koolau are both pretty much target golf, so i'd agree it's a good comparison. in my opinion koolau is a bit tighter and obviously, there are more elevation changes. even with a few more strokes, i'd put money that you'd both take him no problem (is that an option?).

i know it's been said before but: BURY THIS GUY. good luck!

You guys' best ball from the white tee against him from the tips.
Your company must be paying him very well for the project he's doing; acually $20 times 18 = $360, that's not going to break his bank.
Just remember, if you ever play him and won handedly; never ever go up on the betting ceiling.
I suspect that after his lost to you and your partner, he'll bring in aomeone else for a rematch.

This is fun reading I was a bit worried with all his talk but after today I feel real good about our chances.We had fun today in our round.Playing and talking strategy and all that.The funny thing is thats kind of how it all started,I love talking about golf and found out the guy golfed and just started talking golf and all these crazy stats started coming out.

It's unreal what you can shoot too when you're playing best ball that's why it's so surprising that he's so willing to play against us.

This isn't like your normal betting game though either.

This isn't like the white/black tees are you local muni. 6500 yards @ Koolau for them and 7300+ yards for him. I'll be amazed if he breaks 90.

I would hazard to guess that you guys would actually still beat him and a partner... even in a scramble format.

Good luck man! I doubt you'll need it. Play your game, aim for the middle of the green and it's a lock! Take lots of pics -- I love seeing that course.

I'm a bit lost here....are your playing best ball (you both hole out on your own ball and only count the best score) or are you playing scramble (where you both play from the same place and take the best shot)?

And he's playing from the tips and you guys from the whites???

If so, what a dumb bet on his part....might be a bit different if he made you guys play from the tips as well....

Even at scratch I wouldn't take that bet....same tees, no strokes, and best ball perhaps....

He said they're playing best ball (best score on each hole). I simply said I think given the track they're playing... they'd still win if it was a scramble format.

Just remember, if you ever play him and won handedly; never ever go up on the betting ceiling.
I suspect that after his lost to you and your partner, he'll bring in aomeone else for a rematch.


This isn't like your normal betting game though either.

This isn't like the white/black tees are you local muni. 6500 yards @ Koolau for them and 7300+ yards for him. I'll be amazed if he breaks 90.

I would hazard to guess that you guys would actually still beat him and a partner... even in a scramble format.


It's no doubt that they have good odds to win this time, but I also know some hustlers could shoot low low scores when the money is right, hence reminding them never to up the ante if things changed.
I believe if you don't play golf for a living, a friendly bet should be within your means.
If you don't have it in your pocket or would hurt if departed from that sum, then you have bitten off more than you could chew.
I would always be cautious if something just fall onto your lap, way too easy.
I'm guessing either he's going to back off again next weekend or he's going to change the condition by either bringing in a partner or tee off from the same tee.

I think you all may have missed a very important point. If it's $20 per hole, does that mean that he expects both of you to put up $20 on each hole? If that's the case, each hole would be worth $40 for him if he wins, but only $20 to you if you win it. He would only have to win 6 holes to break even, maybe not so difficult for him to do. And if he's really better than a 6 handicap, this would be a great hustle on his part. You might want to check again what the stakes are going to be before you play.

And what about holes where you tie? Are they going to carry over, or will there just be no payoff on those holes? If this is a skins match where they carry over, you could stand to lose a lot of money. I hate to be a downer, but if it's your $40 against his $20, I don't think this is the easy money everyone else thinks it is.

But if it's just $20 against $20, then you should do it.

If this guy says agrees to a date to play you, which he won't, ensure that you both give your money to the pro to ensure payment! 360 or 180 for your team is a nice evening out on the town :friends: and if he loses, he just might say, "just going to put the bag up boys, be right back for a couple of beers" and BOUNCE :russian_roulette:

Make sure the tied holes carry over
Make sure it twenty a hole not twenty/fourty
LOOK HIS NAME UP ON THE GHIN TO ENSURE HE IS NOT A STICK meaning he says i'm a 6 when he is really a +2

Good luck and post the results

i say you go waay higher than 20$ a hole. The famous golf gambler Dewey i cant remember his last name bets up to 100k per hole(im not saying you are going to go this high, but 3-40 bucks would be good). Nick Price and John Daly wont even play him because they lose money off the guy. His trick is to bet so high as to make the opponent uncomfortable. Just go in confident, and if you lose a hole just think thats $20 you didnt win and that you can win only $340 now. let us know the results when youve played the guy.

The general contractor at my job constantly tells me about how great he is, he hits the ball 290-315 and has a 96% green hit from 186 yards with 6 iron yada yada yada.He claims to be a 6 handicap.I play to about a 12 and a coworker of mine is a 10.He agreed to play us, our best ball against his match play,him from the black tees and us from the whites for $20 a hole.

What are our chances?

Ratings from tees Black 7310 yds 75.7/152

Blue 6406 yds 71.7/138

This might help with opinions the whites are forward tees so we will probably end up playing the blues the whites are only 5100 yds


I'm a 3 handicap and there is no way this guy is a 6 and hits 96% GIR.......if he does he must use a football to putt with!! He wouldn't be swinging a hammer for a living if he was hittin' 96% of his GIR!! Get off your wallet and play this guy......I want to know the result too. I'll play him, where's he live??

I dunno man... if he shot 3 under at Koolau, I would think he'd be doing something else for a job -- or at least trying. Heck, he could be a sandbagger, but I bet you'd still beat him.

Is he on the GHIN network... I wanna see his scores.

Just type in his name on GHIN's handicap lookup.

You can do it online.

Did he say Tournament tee, Champion tee, or White tee? There are huge, huge difference.
If he colud shoot 3 under from the Tournament tee, even without the tournament course set up, he's in the category of tour player ability. I'd bet on him over Michell Wei on that score.
But, anyone could have a great golfing day, maybe that's he's best score ever.

It appears to be mostly "bob" and "weave", with maybe a few jabs but there were no punches thrown. :bb:

Being that it's this close to Christmas, it's possible the general contractor was offering these guys an early bonus via their golf wager. Who knows. :wave:
