Hypo: $10M if you score 86 or less on 18 holes, 365 days in a row
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 5th, 2026 12:16 PM Author: Nazca Redlines If you complete 18 holes of golf scoring 86 or less 365 days in a row, you will receive $10M tax free.
You must tee off from the men's tees.
You must play at least 20 different courses as part of the challenge during the 365 day period for it to count.
Only courses of average or above quality, length, and difficulty count.
A rules official will follow you to make decisions and assess penalty strokes as appropriate.
You can restart the hypo as many times as you like. The offer is open for life. But, you still need 365 consecutive days.
You can restart each day's round as often as you like.
Are you in? Do you quit work and start golfing full time now? |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:27 PM Author: Nazca Redlines No. It's up to you to pay for and procure tee times, clubs, etc.
The only things provided to you by the hypo are the rules official and the $10M if you complete the hypo.
Are you in? |

what's the minimum slope/rating/yardage that would pass? either way, find the shittiest par 70 dogtrack out there and go to town on it and mix in other easy shithole courses. |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:34 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Who is that? Do you think you could get to a single digit handicap that quick?

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:39 PM Author: Judas Jones You would have to be a ~scratch golfer to card 365 straight rounds at 86 or better, even playing the whites at an average 68-69 course rating / 125 slope rating sort of course. The ability to end and re-start rounds is good in theory, but is subject to tee time availability. Even if we assume you have 2 rounds booked every day, probably need to be 3ish handicap to have a shot at 365 straight days of 1 round of 86 or better.

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:48 PM Author: hung stud Dang. Let's assume you can grease the wheels and asses of the course people to let you restart without worrying about tee times. If it was ur full time job, and you have a "home course" that you'll play on 345 of the days, you don't think you could do that with just being good, not great? Is golf so faggot that a, say, 7 handicap couldn't get a round a day under 86 on a course you play constantly? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5841866&forum_id=2,#49717755) |
|
Date: March 5th, 2026 12:53 PM Author: Nazca Redlines You'd want to find a home course that's not crowded. It's probably nbd to restart several times at an out of the way country club with limited members. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5841866&forum_id=2,#49717783) |

Date: March 5th, 2026 12:54 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Many of us played a little ball in college.

|
Date: March 5th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) you'd have to be a ~3 hdcp or lower to have a chance. at that level you're scoring 86 or less in 90-95% of your rounds. and even then you'd have to do it on 365 consecutive days, which means one unexpected bad weather day or windy day and you're in trouble. even in california or arizona.
and golf as you know is a mental game, you could have a shitty fever or you got in a blowup fight with your wife the day before and you're in danger.
again--no one here can do this. |

Date: March 5th, 2026 1:53 PM Author: jewbag I'm a 6 and I think I could. for weather you'd need to plan ahead, have $ available to blow through, and be super risk averse. you would center your entire approach to not fucking up the round vs. trying to shoot as low as possible and you'd play the easiest shithole courses possible.
