Yes spot on - think its time to make professional players and amateur players.
Amateurs might win a golf ball and kudos. That might keep those that have mastered the game in their own paddock competing against each other trying to win the almighty prize pool. LOL
+1 A damn fine idea.
An AM type event for zero money is a good idea in theory. Only trouble is around this place some egos I doubt could even play that fair by staying out if not a genuine first account. Policing that would cost and be a hiding to nothing sadly, IMO.
Remember though most "up there" have zero chance once qualified. It's once a year event that is open and if can you can and if can't you can't. I shot a 56 and I think that will be plenty (and yes punditry is rubbish if they had to live by their predictions). Some putts dropped that would not always for me. Top players will have everything mapped very precisely, be better generally and prepare for the finals. Like many I will take a qualifying score and run to the hills with it LOL. I intend playing the finals but will not be practising and will blow out immensely - Realism :)
It's set up below real difficult but a 54 is also everything circled, only the first is a realistic putting eagle chance and it's not low wind BPB on say stimp 11........57 will do it, IMO, and sure I am not putting money on it:)
