What do you think you would shoot from the 7800 yard tips in a decent wind? I have more rounds under par than over 80 this year, but I don't think I would break 100. I don't think this is going to be a bomb and gouge tournament.

A bomber or someone who plays in a lot of wind from Texas / Foreign may be good choices

The wind changes everything. I usually play to around a 7-8 by early summer. A few years ago, I played the Blackwolf River course from the blacks which is like 7400, on a nice day, and got my ass kicked to the tune of like 89 and I didn't play that bad. Add another 400 yards and wind and PGA conditions? I would comfortably add 20 strokes to that.

Brown Deer Park is like 6900 from the blacks if I recall. Which is no joke. Add another 50 yards to each hole and suddenly you're hitting long irons on almost every approach. Gross.

LOL, given that I only started playing last year and I have to play from the women's tees (because, weaker sex), I think playing from the tips on the Ocean Course would be pretty ugly. It would be like Kevin Na all over again, but on every hole.

Great bounce back for Koepka after the immediate double to start the round.

I had a hunch this week could be his comeback to form. Hopefully he holds up all weekend love watching him.

If your 89 from the tips was at the River Course, it is a big time round for a 7-8 handicap.

Maybe so

I was playing well at the time and I putted REALLY well. Incredible course. Last time I played Brown Deer was very much the opposite.

I play Brown Deer 15-20 times a year from the tips and it gets longer for me every year. I played the Valley at Blackwolf a couple of weeks ago and moved up to the greens. It was a bit short but was first time out for the year.

Finished at -5 wow

Let’s see if he can hold it during the weekend

Wind is picking up. His score may look even better as the day progresses.

I've heard Kiawah is absolutely brutal in the wind. Who's 2nd in the clubhouse right now? Lefty will likely have the lead if it's a sustained wind all afternoon. Wow....just wow.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2021, 01:57:12 PM »

Ahhh....two are at -3. Chances anyone goes sub 70 this afternoon Tower? What's your gut feeling?

tower912 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2021, 02:22:50 PM »

I think these guys have skills I can't fathom. I think one or two manage their way around. I think Phil will be either tie first or one shot off the lead.

I know you're usually right Tower but I'm going to say Phil will be 2 shots clear of the lead. I'm pretty sure the back 9 is considerably harder. Obviously these guys are maestros with the sticks but I just think the wind will win this afternoon if it's 20-30 mph.

I have always been team Phil, so I hope you are right.

Damn. ..it looks like you will be right again Tower! Very surprised. Amazing how Koepka steps it up for the Majors.

It would be less amazing if he didnt pretty much literally say he only cares about majors. He's one of the top 5-10 golfers in the world. He just doesnt really throw it into full gear until the big tourneys

Kiawah isn't all that far from me and I thought, "Might be cool to play it someday."

Not only does it look brutally difficult, but it's also $463 for a round.

I am barely good enough to justify a $63 round, let alone one $400 more than that!

Wow $463?? But hey things are pretty good if you live near Charleston.

I've always loved Louis O's swing. It's a thing of beauty. The pop that guy has is amazing. Rooting for.Phil but I'm not that confident he can get there.

What were you expecting it to be? Most public tracks that have majors are $400+

Fair point but I thought it would be slightly less. What is Whitsling Straights and Erin Hills? $500+?

I had no idea. Haven’t priced them. Now I’ve priced one. They’re out of my league.
