Lindgren's $340k Golf Prop Bet Today

[lapoker17]

has he gotten in insane shape recently or something?

If I recall, Bears Best is about 7200 from the tips... but plays shorter because of the way the course is designed. Something like 145 slope. Last time I played it I shot 69 and hit it ok. (Im a plus 2) So if Erick is an 18 he should have a shot, but from the sounds of it Erick plays a few shots lower than that making him a favorite. As long as he stays hydrated and doesn't eat dark meats today he should win.

it's gotta be a 24 hour period, right? That would give him cooler morning temps and a decent rest for a final round.

edit: just read the article. supposedly he started early this morning. don't know why he would just be starting 2nd round. Obviously update came way late.

I assumed no rest from the OP, doesn't say '24 hours' says 4 consecutive rounds. If he gets to rest for 10 hours then it's doable.

He had to walk all four rounds back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

i thought he breaks 80 pretty regularly? i don't think this is as hard as some people are saying. i would bet on lindgren assuming he is as good of a golfer as i was under the impression he is.

does he have to shoot under 100 for four consecutive rounds? say he shoots over 100 on the fourth round and there's still daylight: can he play another round and try to go under 100 again?

i remember in the andy beal book there was some player (maybe huck seed or ted forrest?) who won a bet like this, and they were able to play an extra round because they had one round where they didn't shoot under their target.

at a local golf course they offer however many rounds you want to play on weekdays before 4 and I used to play 2 and like 3 holes on the third and be absolutely dead. Oh yeah we had carts and the temp was 90 max

[BLdSWtTRs]

How are they defining a day? Will they let him play at 4am and will there be enough visibility?

I would think that four rounds with breaks would take atleast 15 hours.
He's going to walk 25 miles in a 24 hour period.

I think the odds are against him.

if he's a 10 handicap he's probably a favourite - I'm trying to figure out where the break-even point is

I'd guess ~14
