  Anyone close to 10,000 alternate shot wins?

  Personally, I couldn't stand the quitters.  Pity.

  This is, in the lingo of "Spaceballs", one of the ridiculously high awards.

  Others include the Choke Relief (10.000 pars after driving <100 yds), In The Drink (10.000 pars after a water shot), Yips (5.000 missed putts <2 ft.), Water Boy (5.000 shots in the water). (famous Mr. Y has 8, 37, 56, 194, respectively),

  Sandman (10.000 sand saves to Par) and Ham&Eggs (10.000 saves to Par) seem achievable though - Mr. Y has 2.600 and 15.900 (yep!) of these, respectively, in approx. 15.000 rounds :)

  The Diamond Double Eagle award is less impressive with 100, but Mr. Y has but 2 (bronze) and famous Mr. B has 5 (silver) "only".

  Damn!  They both have played much more than I have so I'm not even sure for the next 5 years I'll still be playing this game, if I am I give you permission to shoot me.  Thanks for the info.

  Just who is this Mr. Y that you mention? There are not too many of us who have 2 Double Eagles. There aren't a lot with even 1. (Edit) I realized as soon as I posted who Mr. Y was. It had to be Yoban.

  WTF?!?  When you get to 100 DE's sir, I'll buy you that Maserati GranCabrio in the WGT Pro "Elite" Shop!  You up to the challenge, bro??  Lol!

  I'll accept that bet, Doug, if I need not put in a wager!

  You are quite save anyway scaling up from Yoban @ 1 per year approx.

  I'm not Methusalem who reputedly was >900 years old, and I have less than the necessary time span to the age of Mr. Habib Miyan (*perhaps* 127 or 138 yrs) who received a pension for 70 years...

  Edit: *perhaps* added.
