With a 5 inch hole I'd be looking at 6 birdies on avg and would make very few bogeys barring penalty shots. I'd happily take tiger on with a hole that big, would be a coin flip. If it were a 6 inch hole Tiger would be a big Dog. With a 4 and 3/4 inch hole I'd be the Dog but would still back myself. Same size hole everyones a Dog to Tiger.

at least half the tour pros would be a dog to tiger with a 5 inch hole.

No way. That extra 3/4 of an inch would be worth minimum 2-3 shots a round.

Fun question!
My current handicap is +3.
I think I'd need at least 5 shots a round to be competitive with Tiger.
My guess is that I'd improve 5 shots a round if the hole were 50% bigger.
But if this is a one-time match, and figuring in the "choke" factor,
I'd want the hole to be twice as big as normal.
Yeah, if the hole were twice as big for me, I could take him! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

at least,
a. at the lowest estimate or figure: The repairs will cost at least $100.
b. at any rate; in any case: You didn't get a good grade, but at least you passed the course.

tiger's a 2-3 shot favourite over half the tour pros.

Re: Fun Tiger hypothetical
 

if the hole were 8-10 inches wide, think how hard you could hit your putt and still be okay. You would almost never have to worry about break.

I average low 90s on relatively easy courses.

I think I would need a 3 foot hole to be even money.
