  I am a mere 631 away from the diamond Ham & Egg award, Yoban has already got it :)

  Hi Tiffer,

  Congrats for that!

  Yes this is possible. This is why I wrote that those two awards are possible to get, you "just" have to play long enough. In your case, with a simple linear extrapolation, you should get the diamond Ham & Egg award after roughly 5500 ranked rounds, not a small number :). 

  In my case, I should get it after 6640 ranked rounds. In 8 months, playing everyday, I have 881 ranked rounds, which means 110 per month. So I will get 6640 rounds after playing during 60 months = 5 years. So playing 5 years to get an award it's very very long :).

  I am not surprised that Yoban got it already :) .

  Regards

  Well, Fester, there's a modest, stripped-down version of this game. Stick with a decent set of clubs for ages (old Pings) and play the 'tween ball (GI-SD). No wagering.

  Choke relief: not only do you have to make par after hitting your drive less than 100 yards, but first, obviously, you have to hit your drive less than 100 yards.

  At the moment i'm at 207!

  you can won this award also by sunking the tap-in with the driver! but for that reason i never won the yips...

  you know when guys do that for some unknown reason it's always made me just giggle and now to come to find out it's good for the game is even funnier...... too cool. Thanks for sharing that little facts =)

  Thanks again, Bidi. I've just chalked up a couple of Choke Relief points. It works reliably with punching the driver, just barely above the minimum amount of power, up to about 18 inches.

  LOL, OK if one can trick the system, then one can perhaps get this award :) . Any other trick for hole in 1 or double eagle :) .
