1400 Hit Flagsticks

    Just wondering where I stand in this department.  Am sure most of the good players pull the flag.  I use it as a backstop.

    Also wondering if WGT is ever going to re-think some of the awards.  The diamond Water Boy and the Yips awards are pretty unrealistic.  The diamond InThe Drink and Choke Relief awards are ludicrous.

    Still no award for Chip In/Holed Approach shots which are a bit harder to do than hitting the ball in the water.

  213 here, in 1800 rounds. I'm gonna start to pull the flag once I got the diamond award (250).

  Speaking of ludicrously high numbers (5,000 yips, 10,000 choke reliefs) you'll have to talk about the piffling low ones, e.g. Blitz King (200,000) and the nine last awards from Green Thumb (mere 6,000 GIRs).

  Here, too, the principle of promises and hopes shines through: They promise some early and make you hope to get the others sometimes. Alas, I'm still below 1 ppm of the In The Drink Award, 9 / 10,000.

  The most industrious player here has more eagles (3,600) than sandmen and In The Drink combined (3,200 + 60), plus 10(!) Choke Reliefs.
