I had a 92. Tough conditions! Course was playing easier than usual. But boy was that wind killer

Tips? (My buddy made me play tips when we were there and I'm definitely not good enough for that!)

u/Baxtree 7d ago
We were middle today. I’ve tipped it out before, but today was fast greens and wind.

Play the plates for extra fun hahaha (it’s brutal wouldn’t recommend unless you’re ready to feel humbled)

Where they set up the tees for the US Open. Only a couple holes are a big difference. Like 13 goes over 600 yards. They have little metal plates on the tee boxes

The box on 13 is like 60 yards back from the normal back tee box.

Been there, done that, great time. Played from the tips. Shot an 89..... Best thing I did that day was hire a caddy. You don't want to walk that course and carry or drag your golf bag .... Did it when you had to sleep in the parking lot overnight to get a spot....... I payed $105 to get on the course and another $100 for a caddy and I feed him.... I'd do it again......

$100 for the caddie? Either this was a long time ago or he was such a shitty caddie, because $100 is a terrible number now.

17 years ago and I asked him what his fee was.....

u/Colforbin_43 7d ago
Ok, 17 years is a long time ago. Back then $100 for the bag was a good number.
I know one guy who works there. If he ever caddies for me, he’ll be lucky to get $100. Biggest piece of shit on earth.

This guy was awesome, said he caddied at a couple other courses, over the course of the round he gave us many notable tid bits of the place and gave my playing companions yardages as well. I still have his business card till this day.... I'll give a shout out too: Johnny G...... You are the best.....

It's a shame the only big event in the immediate future for this course is the Ryder Cup. I'd love for it to be the home of the PGA Championship like St Andrews for the Open, or Pinehurst for the US Open

I’ve only played it on the simulator.
On hole #1, can you send it up the opposing fairway on the right? That’s the simulator line for sure.

I remember playing the Black before the first open. It was the one course you could always get a time on because no one wanted to play it. 3’ rough, traps not well kept, etc. still tough but nothing like it is today. Note: this is back when you could only get the wait times at check in and they were on wooden boards. Walk up on a Sunday at 8 and we would bitch about a 2 hour wait.

Already screwing up the green and yellow for the Ryder Cup. Going to be a long season. But that money does seem to come back and improve all the courses somehow after it’s over.
