I guess I'm in the minority (with Pete) who really enjoyed it, and think it's worth watching. I think it's fun watching golfers who aren't pros, and the banter was great. Enjoyed watching Phil coach Chuck through putts and strategy.
(My +140 bet on Phil and Chuck didn't HURT the enjoyment factor)

Obv the difference is huge, but Steph was also having a really shitty day. And a lot of scratch golfers are going to have a massive difference between, say, their top 20% rounds and bottom 20% rounds. That's where a lot of the edge for the pro golfer comes from - if the scratch has a bottom 40% round, he basically never wins against a top pro, even with appropriate handicaps.
Yeah, this. The guys I know at my club with plus handicaps routinely shoot under par, but I'm also not shocked when they shoot mid-to-upper 70s. And the difference between a +1 and 1 is a pretty big gap in and of itself.
