Default Ivey makes 200k golf prop bet with erick

At the 200-400 Ftp Phil Ivey was telling everyone he made a large bet, 200k, with Erick.
Phil Ivey: 200k
Phil Ivey: heres the bet
Phil Ivey: i bet him he couldn't walk 18 holes 4 times in today and break 100 all for times and he has to do it on one of the most hilliest golf courses in vegas.
HitRockBottom1: LOL
Phil Ivey: and he has to carry his bag
Phil Ivey: he has already done it twice and he just called me and told me he couldn't feel his knees
Phil Ivey: lmao
HitRockBottom1: haha
HitRockBottom1: HAHAH
HitRockBottom1: you would bet 200k on that
HitRockBottom1: such a balla bet
Phil Ivey: i don't care if he wins as long as he gets a little punishment
Phil Ivey: i am going over there when he finishes the 3rd round
HitRockBottom1: haha
HitRockBottom1: where this at
HitRockBottom1: tpc?
kid holdem: u gonna walk the last round with him, lol?
Phil Ivey: don't think he will ko him but i think he will win
Phil Ivey: lol
Phil Ivey: don't know i empty u
Phil Ivey: i don't play as much as i use to

Is this a good bet for Phil? Is Erick that good at golf?
I know breaking 100 isn't that hard, but 4 times in 1 day?

I've done it before. Of course that was 10 years ago. Now I hardly walk for a hot dog on the turn.

I have no idea how good any pro poker player is at golf. I do think that Erick wouldn't take the bet if he didn't think it would be easy for him to break 100 four straight rounds.

Four rounds in one day is very hard work.

If you can beat 100 by hitting irons off the tee, it is a bit easier, as you can leave out the woods in the bag, making it lighter.

Not a good bet for Erik. There are few golf pros I would think could do it carrying their own bag. Walking more than 24 kilometers, hitting golfballs and still needing to concentrate to get a decent score.

I have walked more than 25 kilometers in one day, and I know I would not have been able to even get close to my best game on round 3 and 4.

Wouldn't, for instance, carrying a 3W in lieu of a 3I make the bag lighter?

I think this would be exceedingly difficult (if not impossible) under normal conditions, but Vegas in June? Forget it.

Phil mentioned it was a very hilly course too.
I think Phil has the best of it, a very hilly course is not easy to break a 100 for an average golfer in Las Vegas heat.

I read that titanic thompson bet some guy that he could beat him with a handicap of letting the guy get 3 drives from each tee, to ty's 1. he said that by the 9th hole the guy was exhausted. How exhausting could this really be?
