Usually shoots high 80s...

If this is the case, I'd imagine that he will fail. That last round is going to be gross.

I can't imagine someone would take this bet if he has a 15 handicap

[/ QUOTE ]

No doubt - I figured he would need a single digit handicap to take this bet, and even then - there are huge time constraints here, let alone fatigue.

i think daylight is the only obstacle.

[/ QUOTE ]how do you not consider shooting under 100 on the last round, or even the third round, an obstacle?

[NLfool]

lolz I'd pay some weekend hackers to slow it up not that I think there is much of a chance if the course is wide open. Did they close off the course the rest of the day for this? Is this a hilly walk? I can't see a poker player being in enough shape for this

I will grab my Bears Best booklet from the last time I played there and give some info in a bit.

He got going before 6 am ... mispoke on the "hour or so ago". He's in middle of round 3. On fire...think the priest in Caddy Shack.

Does he lose the bet if it gets dark out before he finishes?

if he's mid round 3...there's no shot it'll be dark before he finishes...in fact, he may get a half hour/45 min breather between 3 and 4. it's hot today though...

if he's mid third round right now (2:15pm), and he's on track to break 100 this round...he's def the fav in the bet.

I'd say he almost has a 0% chance of doing this.

[/ QUOTE ]

10% by 3rd round, 0.01% for final round if he putts amazing, assuming a 15 handicap.
