I think anyone who thinks the 4 handicapper would win is crazy! I totally agree with Stina. Lets think about that 4 handicapper and how they have come up with their handicap? Most likely it is playing the majority of rounds on one course, most of the courses he would play are no where near the type of courses that the pros play on, he most likely had never even seen a green as fast as a professional tournament's green. Now LPGA professionals and especially someone like Morgan Pressel who is ranked 25th in the world is a plus handicap playing on the toughest courses. Yes, she would have longer irons into greens, but so what? She is better with those longer irons than that 4 handicapper and once they get on the green it is no match.

By the way, that driving distance statistic for the pros in an average. It is the average of what they drive on a few selected holes each tournament. Brittany Lincicone's average driving distance this year is 272. We all remember seeing her hit a 320 yard drive on 18 at the Nabisco.
