What do you think you can shoot at the OPEN at Birkdale???

Question

im an ok golfer but im thinking i shoot around like 180 there....im being serious, it looks brutal and the pros are not breaking 70

what do you think you would shoot???

PICK A LETTER

A-Less than 100

B-101-115

C-116-140

D-141-170

E-171-199

F-Over 200+

im giving myself E....what do you all think?? i know you never shot there, nor have I , but l was just wondering by looking at the course what you think you would get??

Answer 1

I'm going with a C cause I don't like playing in the rain and wind. They have more guts and grit than I do... Obviously... cause they are pros

Answer 2

last year i played oakmont in open conditions from the tips and shot 104

but that was beginning of may when i wasnt quite into golf season yet

i'm a 5.9 index so depending on the conditions...maybe a-b?

Answer 3

Well, they go from harder tee boxes, but i would hopefull shoot c,  but i would need to play well, its just a super tough course.

Answer 4

i think theres no way of any of us shooting under 100 inless we get lucky and hole a few out.

there was only 2 guys that broke 100 at the u.s. open, tony romo and justin timberlake, and they've got the money to get all the lessons they want.

my best score is a 74 and i'm about a 5 handicap golfer, i'd say i could shoot 115

Answer 5

C. I have a 15 handicap so I think I could keep it under 130.

Answer 6

C, If I couldn't break 140 I think I would quit golf. Anyone that shoots double par should be banned from the game.

Answer 7

On a day like I've been watching, really counting every stroke, you and I would be battling to see who could break 170!  That rough, those conditions...

Answer 8

B.  I think I could break 100 if the conditions were good (little wind, warmer), but on a normal day I'd shoot around 110.

Answer 9

I choose A.  I'm a 5 handicap and I think I could scramble my way around and manage to keep it in double digits.  It does look tough however.

Answer 10

yeah i would be in the C range i think. i sometimes it low shots so it would play to my advantage at that course.

Answer 11

A. In semi-decent conditions and playing smart shots, I could easily break 100. Birkdale is all about hitting a lot of fairways.
