  This might be interesting to consider perhaps similar to pgatour.com has.  It would be interesting to see how the best of the best get their scores....are they making bogies during their rounds and where are they making most of the birds.....

  Okay so i suggested this a few months ago and didnt get any responses ::(( So I got thinking I still think it would be cool and also thought okay if it can put a few credits in WGT pockets they might think about it. So here is my updated thoughts, in the ready go's you could make an optional skin pot for the players to enter...say a 50 credit buy-in....assuming all 50 players participate the total in the pot would be 2500 credits....now WGT takes say 10%...leaving 2250 credits to be split by the number of skins won....if only one skin they get all of it...two skins half and etc. If no skins are won then a couple of options...everyone gets there entry back less the 10% fro WGT so 45 credits or perhaps goes to the winner....just some thoughts. Might be able to justify the programming time if wgt gets a cut.  Might also encourage players to complete their rounds as they always have a chance for a skin..

  Hi Doug. I didn't see this thread when you first posted it but I did in fact start a spreadsheet last week where I am recording every birdie and eagle I make across all courses. I know it's a bit sad but I wanted to see how the holes compare to the stroke index given. I also wanted to see where I made most of my birdies.

  We can all guess pretty accurately at what holes give up the most birdies and 6 days in I don't see any real surprises to be frank. Below are the top five holes in terms of my birdies in the last 6 days across St Andrews, Kiawah & Bethpage. All of these are from the Legend tees;

  St Andrews.

  14th - 12 birdies, 1 eagle

  9th - 10 birdies, 2 eagles

  5th - 12 birdies

  12th - 12 birdies

  1st - 9 birdies

  Kiawah Island.

  11th - 12 birdies

  1st - 10 birdies

  7th - 8 birdies, 1 eagle

  3rd - 7 birdies

  2nd - 6 birdies

  Bethpage Black.

  1st - 10 birdies

  4th - 10 birdies

  2nd - 8 birdies, 1 eagle

  3rd, 6th & 13th - 6 birdies

  The toughest holes to date or ones that have yielded the fewest birdies are;

  St Andrews - 4th, 13th & 17th - all 2 birdies.

  Kiawah Island - 4th, 5th & 18th - all just 1 birdie each.

  Bethpage Black - 12th & 15th with no birdies and the 5th, 7th & 16th with just one each.

  Obviously 6 days isn't long enough to judge completely but I don't see much changing in regard to the toughest holes, no real surprises in any of them. The biggest surprise to me is that the total number of birdies and eagles on Kiawah and Bethpage are nearly identical. Kiawah totals 76 birdies, 1 eagle. Bethpage totals 70 birdies and 2 eagles. St Andrews is by far and away the easiest as we all know and this is borne out with 126 birdies and 4 eagles, miles ahead of the other 2 courses.
