    Has anybody asked Don to whiz in a cup? 33 hours out of 48 demands some kind of "helper" at his age.  And they pounded on Tiger for the same thing. Sheesh.......LOL

    Nothing negative from me, I shot my best with a 10 under, could have easily been my first sub 60, missed an eagle and 3 birds by .02 each.

    Great score and glad it was done by such a nice guy.

    I'm sure that many of the detractors are the same group that always complains whenever the Open qualifying starts.   It is amazing that you can get on a roll in this game and sometimes go very low.

    I'm just an average legend but I have gotten on streaks in the qualifying where I had 13 straight birdies so anyone can do it.  Played a back nine skins game at Kiawah last week where I had 8 birdies and an eagle in route to winning all 9 skins so it does happen.

    The key is what TheLighterDark said though, we all have chances to put up a low number, I'm sure that some of the other true Legends in WGT have been a couple of putts away from sub 50, especially with the shorter tees, but no matter what Don actually did it and he doesn't have to say I only needed those 2 five footers or I had that one putt lip out.  He can just say look at my wall.

    While we are on this topic, hey WGT how about a statistics wall like we have talked about for 2 years that shows, longest drive, most aces, lowest score on each nine, all the stuff we like to look at.  You have all the information on each players profile so it is available in the system.

    I think the negative responses are aimed at the score and what it does to the game.. And not at the person that owns it.  I have always had a question for this game..... Do any PGA golf members play here? Ive seen one PGA BOUND... but that doesnt count as "IN' as read.

    Don, congratulations, an amazing round!   Oh lol,  please behave when you go out this weekend, you dont want to lose your rightful place in the wgt hall of fame over some hotties trying to give it to you.

    Well done Don.....that took some effort...a little like win1soon in the Olympic CTTH...but on a bigger scale....!!!

    What is interesting is just not only the persistance & concentration but the fact that you actually were smart enough to realise that you had to find the right combination of clubs & balls to achieve that score.

    I play golf IRL which as we as know throws up surprise both good & bad & really tests your patience but WGT It is just a game in which we loose ourselves for some light entertainment....!!!
