  Hi:

  The player in question is a lvl 82 "tour pro" he got top clubs (lvl-70-80) and he always play par 5 holes for 400-600 credits .

  Just played with him (i am a good legend) and no way... he got -10 in front 9 par 5. Obviusly he is a sandbagger so i want you to know.

  Just this statement alone tells me that you were a fool to play him.  So to summarize...you played him even though 1) you're giving up TWO tee boxes to him, 2) it's his home course, 3) he's high level with the appropriate gear, and 4) he put up a significant amount of credits.

  Your defense is "he's a tour pro".

  Never forget what Tusser says about fools and their money.

  Even for a Legend from the back tees, 9 birdie putts on that Par 5 course is not that spectacular. Hitting one out of 9 approaches for an eagle putt is not that hard, especially if all you play is that Par 5. I'd be willing to bet, being 2 tees closer, that -10 isn't his best. 

  I do find it curious you played him.

  But not surprising when you look at his match play stats.

  Thought the same thing...-10 from TP tees w/ that equipment means he probably lipped out a couple of putts LOL.....

  But he is a sandbagger, 1 of thousands here...

  About being lucky they ever got together in the first place?  Yeah I remember.  I graduated from a very prestigious business school (Ross, Univ. of Michigan).  Wall Street is like porn to us business majors.

  Ahh yes, in Ann Arbor right ? I can see why "Wall Street" would have been a good fit. Headed by far left Oliver Stone ( Yale drop-out after 1yr), and acted by lefty nut jobs like Michael Douglas(a BA in Drama, UCSB impressive), the spooky Charlie Scheen (expelled from Santa Monica HS for poor grades), far left Space Queen Daryl Hanna (USC drop-out), and of course the really spooky Sean Young ( HS diploma)....get the attraction ?

  That's the beauty of Hollywood - you can play anything or anyone.  I do my best to divorce politics and movies, but I fall short with that anti-American stank punk known as Johnny Depp.  Oliver Stone is definitely fringe-left though.  Having said that, it's still an all-time great movie.

  The sequel, however, blew.
