just hard for me to fathom someone getting a birdie on each hole on average
if the guys played a 100 rounds....he's bound to hit a good round and score 18 under and that's the one he'll post.
all the other 99 which might have been 58's or 61's he'll not even bother finishing.
so in effect you're only seeing his best round out of 100 tries.

I'm nowhere near that good but I've shut down literally hundreds of games when I just didn't have it that day or had something come up in a round. I haven't competed much in the tourneys because I'm still learning this and that and working up to the clubs I want, then learning them, then hopefully getting good enough to be competitive.
I know what I shoot and, if some day, somebody feels the need to 'cheat' to beat me. Well that's a mark on their character not mine.
That and I make a heck of a lot more money in four hours than I will spend on this game in a year.
Awards are cool. Respect of your peers or, in this case, the other players (who have put in the time to get good and are class people) means more to me than what I will ever 'win' playing it.
And, of course, never forget that no matter how good you are at anything there's always somebody who might have a better day than you.
That holds true in everything from bouncing to board meetings.
