The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[tirolski]

Gonna go to The Flower City to see the big dogs hit it at Oak Hill tomorrow.
Should be a nice day.
Last time I was there for a practice round we stood next to Dufner on the range then later on followed that rascal around.
He ended up winning it.

Oak Hill is amazing.
Folks gonna have to hit the fairways and make the putts.
The fairways are fast, firm and beautiful. I’ve played on greens that are slower and not as smooth.
The rough is thick and should continue to grow.
They may give it a trim before the tourney starts but no-one really knows but the PGA.
With par at 70 & throw in a couple over 600 yard par 5s, some 500 yard par 4s and long into the wind par 3s a few strokes under par should win it. I kinda doubt anybody gets to 10 under especially if there’s wind.
The place and people were really nice and the folks had things running smooth.

Koepka is a beast.
Viktor Hoviland is smaller than I thought but stripes the ball constantly. and should have a decent chance.
If the wind blows it’ll be tough even for the best in the world.
Should be fun to see who wins the Wanamaker.

There was a team of 4 folks with leaf blowers walking around blowing the oak tree fallout (catkins) from the greens.
The main practice putting green was loaded with it.

PGA had a frost delay yesterday.
Tom Kim went into the mud and then bathed to clean up in the ditch.

Washing up and drying off is normally reserved for after a long day of golf.

Gonna be gusts to 25mph today, wind and rain tomorrow and a beautiful day Sunday.
Should be fun to see who wins it golfing in May in Rochester.

After watching how to correctly hit and putt golf balls by watching the pros at Oak Hill, shot a 2 over 38 on the front with just 11 putts.
Only hit 1 green.
Backside was kinda ugly with three doubles, 2 from under 85 yards for a 44.
.
Weather’s gonna suck for good golf tomorrow at the PGA.
Golf is fun.

Cool & wet today and with more tucked pins at The Oak Hill.
The rough will turn to wet lettuce.
Best golfers in the whole wide world getting after it.
Didn’t take long for Spieth to hit a shitty shot with his drive on the very first hole.
