  One more loss to icetea68 5down in back 9. 1-8 against TL. But soon all i need 1 win against them with birdie fest...sooon..i will be ready. Until then i practice and improve my winning percentage against legends. Definitely without r11 against these TL i have no chance. But its fun.

  Nice try there Alex was fun wont say what the score was but........i can say this

  Oh its ok.  Losing become trend against TL now. Lost to courtney. 4 up (its ok i am not afraid of losing badly) Its all fun. I am only observing how they play. I have too many chinks in my armour. Need to fix them. Soon i will start beating them. But at present they have serious upper hand..but i am cool , i am enjoying it. One thing i observed is i need good spin ball to beat them even with rapture. Normal ball do not cut it. I need 6 birdies to beat them. Thats my calculation. Working on it.

  The thing for me is if i start beating tour legend will they respond normal? I know some don't. For me its should be fun. if you beat me and played well , its all good. I just need to work on birdies and spots where i should get flat putt. Curvy putts carry too much risks. :)

  Alex, glad to have you as a friend and I look forward to many more rounds.  I was on and you were a little off, it's the nature of mp.

  For any TLs who might read this, Alex is a great guy and fun to chat with during a round.  Once he gets some more experience from the longer tees and gets his hands on some top line gear he'll be a force to be reckoned with...he's already good and will only get better...and certainly isn't afraid of a challenge.

  Alex, hats off to you, you'll be thrashing me in no time...so I have to beat you while I can!

  well said he really means well and is fun and polite we need more of his kind

  Out of legends i played in matchplay ..mkg did not make any mistake. He assumed i was good , he was ready from get go. He has good killer instinct. I know i played minkywinkster once in alt game. He was godly i need to see him in alt game again just for fun. I know i have no chance at present , its more of observation of techniques.if i write program to create digital scale which sits on top of meter anyone will buy for 11 bucks? anyone pay 11 bucks for my meter scale? I know wgt sells for 20 bucks for 2000 strokes or something. Mine will be unlimited. hahaha

  hi courtney ,

  Thanks for the game , we play again once i am able to compete even level which will be very soon. I have given you all chance to beat me badly. Enjoy that while you can. I am fixing all my issues. I need more accuracy in my iron shots and also i suck in short putts. I cam make long bomb putts often but short 3 feet putt gets me sometimes.

  anyways...any new TL wants to play

  I am here

  Courtney, tyvm, and I agree that we need more like Alex. 

  Alex, ty for the kind words.  I learned a long time ago never to underestimate one's opponent.  We'll play as many times as you'd like and you'll win your share, that's for certain.

  This is fun. there are people who want to play against TL, while I do not like them, cause I'm still not used to playing on their green. I'm able to make a birdie from 30 ft on tournament green than holing a 7ft birdie on their green. I played 7 times against TL and lost 5 times (but at 17th or 18th hole) Never I got crushed. lol. I think I'm not too bad when I play against others (my stats: 731/276 against the Legends, 382/122 TM and 525/161 M).
  
  In fact, most of the TL play ready gos. They play for money list. lol. This is why it is rare to face them. When  they play challenges, its for fun, not for credit.

  However, we cannot say they are "chickens".
