eSJayDee Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Your info doesn't indicate whether or not it's a handicapped event or how many holes it was. A high single digit handicap would get a positive score (no handicap) on a good day. Give'em 4 days & they could accumulate 36 points. Being a former NFL player (& a very good one), he's likely very athletic & coordinated.
apuszczalowski Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 My friend works at a golf course in Niagara and was playing a round after work one day when he noticed jauron golfing. Jauron was by himself, and so was my friend, so Jauron asked if he wanted to play and they played a full round. My friend said he is a really good golfer. I was pissed by friend didn't try to get tickets, or ask him why he wasn't back in Buffalo working.

BRH Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Any football coach who is that good of a golfer ain't spending enough time in his office.
The Senator Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Not all that surprising that he'd be a good golfer - Jauron's a great athlete. A 3-time Yale letterman, I believe he was also named one of New England's top prep athletes of the century... Big Dick

Thanks for the clarification. So it likely was a scratch event. But I'll stand by my comments that, depending on the course, a high single digit handicap would be capable of doing that w/ a good round or 2. It's more likely the results achieved of a low single digit handicap (again, depending on the course). I guess it also depends on what you consider a 'good' golfer. For me, especially considering he was an elite athlete, I don't consider it that impressive.

But I will stand by my thought that his score was pretty damn good. Lets not forget that he is 55 years old, and any amatuer that can play to 6 is alright in my book. Elite athletes don't always make great golfers and vice-versa. Here are how some others finished. http://tahoecelebritygolf.com/Results.html
