Have you ever wondered just how good the LPGA players are against a scratch golfer? I will find out on Tuesday as I play a two time LPGA winner who is ranked inside the 150 in the world. I won’t take her to the tips but we will be playing at 6700+ which a little longer than what they play on tour. Place your bets.

I say she beats you by 2 unless the course has a lot of forced carries at that distance.

By 5, no knock on you. The women are just so accurate.

I'm going the other way as I've seen this play out in person. A good friend and playing partner at my club played against a LPGA pro and I was there for the round. We played the blues which were set up at roughly 6700-6800 yards that day. My buddy who is a +1 beat her straight up, but it was very close. I obviously contributed nothing to the group other than my looks. So, I'm putting money on my guy @dphatt to win by 2. Let me know what the odds are going off in Vegas so I can place the appropriate bet.

dphatt is on a heater. I’ve got him by 3.

Man you guys are way too generous 😂. I think she will get me by 5 unless I play extremely well.

dphatt No excuses, play like a champ.

The 6700 yards will likely be an issue based on my experiences unless they fairway wood/hybrid you to death from the fairway which is very possible. Chipping and putting is a wash IMO. Advantage Don overall. Not saying he will win because I have no idea who he's playing.

If she's asian and her last name is Lee then you're done then I'll give you 3-1 odds straight up.

Scratch golfer vs LPGA Tour Winner

dphatt

Jaybananapantsarthur rating is 73.6 134 6771 yards. I think she will take advantage of the short holes and the par 5s.

Her 2020 LPGA driving distance is 250 and her scoring avg is less than 72.

Gonna be tough

I'll be positive. Don will tie the LPGA tour winner and put up a good fight. Good luck!

IG Live? Probably at a course too elite for cell phones.

dphatt

Putterho I don’t know if she wants to have the round on IG. I need to ask if I can even use her name or not.

dphatt I’ll take her by 5. I’m guessing her short game wipes the floor with yours (and everyone else who doesn’t hit 500+ balls a day). I think that’s where the difference is from professional and amateur

OffTheDole

LPGA winner is my bet, though I'd be curious when this player's last win was. If it's in the last 3 years then I think it's very likely she wins by 3-4 strokes.

dphatt

OffTheDole she won in 2018 and in 2019

dphatt Then I'd like to update my prediction to a +5-stroke victory for the LPGA star.

Have fun and report back if you can. I'd really love to hear more about this because I'm a huge fan of the LPGA. There are so many great players and personalities on that tour.

LPGA but 3. Rooting for you Don, hope you play lights out and it’s the other way around.😉

Yeah, no need for a hole by hole update. I need you dialed in so you make the few of us picking you to win look like Nostradamus.
