Disco Duck Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I have a love/hate thing with this course. I really like the no rough thing. But the greens are a bit daft. ’mon Rory 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Checked earlier. For me to play to my handicap round here, I’d need to shoot 92. I don’t think I could come in with less than 92 putts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Club golfer is hitting 200 round here. Finding it an enjoyable watch. How you're meant to hold these greens is anyone's guess. Schaufelle on in 2 on a 620 yarder is obscene 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaufelle on in 2 on a 620 yarder is obscene I think the restoration of the waste areas as per the original design is fantastic, but the greens are a bawhair away from getting out the windmill and the clowns head for me. If it stays dry and windy they might get there by the weekend. Edited June 13 by peasy23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the commentators was saying earlier about the weather, and said the only moisture he wants to see on these greens is players tears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for bad shots being punished, but good shots are getting punished too, sometimes only 4 or 5 feet away from landing in the perfect spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Piece of piss. I’d shoot 45 out and 45 back at this Pinehurst place no problem. Perfectly level tees, billiard green fairways, no ending up in some kunt’s unrepaired divots here. Smooth as silk greens and perfectly raked sand? Hardly Barshaw Park Municipal in Paisley, is it. Can’t see any chunts throwing White Lightning cans and running on to nick yer’ Penfold Commandos here… in fact, I’d be out in 45 and back in 40 on this ‘track’ (fcuking shoot me for even using that word in jest)… Easy. No probs’. Time for a beer. Edited June 13 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I like seeing them suffer tbh. Scheffler over par when it's not a drive and putt course like it is 51 weeks of the year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Wondered about Pinehurst No. 1 seeing as the US Open is always at No. 2. Found out there are 189 holes across 11 courses at the "Pinehurst resort" and an 18 hole putting green.

Cheese Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 This is a top 10 in the world parkland course for me. A proper test for the pros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 A great round from Rory tbf. Played pretty much like that last round at St Andrews a couple of years ago. It was the wrong tactics then, but the right approach today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus https://www.pinehurst.com/golf/courses/cradle-short-course/ Pinehurst is my bucket list course, spoke to the wife, shes always wanted to visit the Carolinas and thinking about going as part of a trip for our 40th’s in a few years, a stop at Pinehurst has been suggested and not knocked back, this is my absolute dream. Possibly gonna play some golf at Cabot Citrus Farm in Florida next month which has that ‘waste area’ feel/look similar to Pinehurst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Had to nip in to town to pick up SWMBO, Bob was +2 when I left. Delighted to see he got it back to par. 1 hour ago, Groundhopping Adventures said: I like seeing them suffer tbh. Scheffler over par when it's not a drive and putt course like it is 51 weeks of the year This. 100%. From The Guardian - Let’s delve into Scheffler’s stats. What’s not working for the World No 1? Here are his live Strokes Gained rankings: Off The Tee: 96th Approach: 45th Short Game: 20th Putting: 116th Not great and add that to him hitting just five fairways out of 11 and he’s doing well to be no worse that +1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Forrest going to need a miracle tomorrow to make the cut. Viktor needs a miracle, divine intervention and the second coming of The Holy Ghost. Edited June 13 by Florentine_Pogen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Was torn between putting a few quid on Hovland or Aberg. Went with the latter, so I’ve at least got more than half a round of interest for my money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Hovland seems to be the latest player who has screwed up his game through tinkering with stuff that isn't broken. Hopefully it's just temporary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
