    How hard is golf? 🧐

Transcript

So one of the biggest questions in the golf world is how close is a scratch golfer to professional good? Let's talk about it. Evan Thompson, who we've all seen is a social media golfer who's trying his hand in the professional golf world. Evan's also not a scratch golfer. He's a plus 4.5, which puts him in the top 1% of all male golfers. Evan Thompson just tried to qualify for the Bermuda championship at the Country Club of Winter Haven, which has a course rating of 74.6 and a slope rating of one thirty four. And if you don't know what a course rating is, every single golf course has one, and it's what a scratch golfer should average at said course. So for Country Club of Winter Haven, a scratch golfer should average 2.6 strokes over par. And the slope gets a little bit more confusing. It's how much harder a golf course is for a bogey golfer compared to a scratch. So how did Evan Thompson stack up as a top 1% golfer? He shot a 73, one over par, which is nine strokes away from qualifying. So is a scratch golfer good at golf? Absolutely. Top 2% in the entire worse. But these professionals and guys trying to play professional are playing a completely different game. And this just goes to show you that a scratch golfer is nowhere close to a professional.
