We will make the cut but looks like we’ll start tomorrow 8 shots back of 8th.
Well, obviously I was talking about people on this board, since that is where we are having this conversation - and I haven't seen anyone here with those kind of expectations. I don't know what idiots you talk to on a daily basis but anyone expecting us to achieve dominance like we did in the '70s has no clue about reality.I literally disagree with that because I hear it all the time from people who were in school in the 70’s when I was there. Many act somewhat about our “old days” of golf like Miami Hurricane footballers from the 70’s & 80’s expect their football to get back to the thug days of Schnellenberger, Johnson, Davis, when they had no academics.
Golf has changed dramatically in the past 10-20 years, just with the plethora of fantastic teen golfers available for schollies. Combine that with the 4.5 limit and I just don’t see huge dominance anymore.
Guess it's a depth issue, but Carolina Chacarra was a 2nd team all-American last year. This year, in the NCAA Championships, she is 71st (+14) in a field of 82. In what may be her final round of the year, she went out and shot 42 on the first 9. To lesser extent, Rachel Kuehn hasn't been as strong this year.Going the wrong direction... Not enough depth this year, it seems like. We have 2 girls +6 already so we are pretty much screwed... Getting back to the top 15 in the country is nothing to sneeze at but I am sure they are disappointed...
