Excellent point...what was it that sparked the current crazy interest in golf?
When arguing Tiger vs. Jack, it's valid to compare scores on the same course, even considering equipment differences, imo...but when it comes to measuring them against the competition, however...
You've rightfully pointed out that, back in the day, many of the best golfers were not pros and never played against Jack...less likely today. If you're that good today, you can hardly go unrecognized...unless you
really, really choose to.
can't imagine that.
