Alternate shot matches start on Monday 9/25. 3 more matches and points on the line. Will a final 3v3 scramble match (worth 3pts) be necessary to determine a winner?!

It’s clear that Frankie works on the fundamentals. Riggs and Trent look like they’ve never seen what they look like swinging. Riggs is a 5 but loses his balance on every swing? Big doubt on that one. There’s only so much you can improve by just playing a lot and not actually working on mechanics etc

[@theonepercent8263]

Legitimate handicaps for the foreplay group is as follows; Rapaport is a 4, Frankie is a 6-8, Riggs is a 8-10, and Trent is a 18. This whole group slices across their putts and Riggs just slaps the ball as you can tell by all his iron shots having no spin.

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Wrong, they play the hardest courses on camera. This course made the greens very challenging. Their handicaps are what they say they are. Riggs shoots 80 to 82 which is about 5 or 6 handicap
