2025 LPGA Thread - Chevron Championship

No, no, that makes too much sense.

Hopeful I can drag my son out of the mountainous beauty of Montana and make the next leg of our journey today, and into Washington tonight.

Planning on using our flex tickets tomorrow to push our streak of women’s professional golf event attendance another year!! Mindful that he accepted his first “adulting” job offer by phone this morning and the fun travel time allowance is winding down. Excited for an awesome day tomorrow!

Are we in for another Lancaster type pronunciation debate this week with Sammamish? Thank goodness this isn’t being played in Sequim this week or we’d be in serious trouble.

@cnasty

with Sammamish

@Cody absolutely butchered it lol

Two of my best friends from college grew up in Sammamish, and I’ve visited a number of times over the years.

I got a hearty chuckle out of it on the preview pod.

This looks so challenging.

This is important for the refuge to know. Mr. Kirschenman was my opponent in the 2nd round of the season long match play event. I was down 3 holes entering Kirschenman corner (Holes 4-6). I went -1 over 3 holes to bring the match back to even. Kirschenman corner belongs to me. I lost the match to a birdie on 18 - but owned Kirschenman corner.

So elite of NBC to have 0 coverage of Nelly’s first round. Good thing last major showed that nothing can happen in the first round that could change the tournament

[OakAM]

Just came across this if anyone wants a closer look at the course before coverage gets going

This is the tightest golf course I’ve ever played

[OTPLefty]

Back before the fetishization of fast greens got stupid,
Long before the fetishization of “width and angles”;
There was a fetishization of long, tree-lined, and tight (apparently)!

The holes I’ve seen look stupid narrow, I hope it doesn’t turn the championship into a farce.

[JScore]

I remember playing Sahalee once - can’t remember which two 9s we played off-hand. I remember it feeling really narrow visually, but actually playing wider than it looked. Walking off the course didn’t leave me feeling like I was squeezing through corridors all day.

Had a dream last night that I was asked to caddie for Linn Grant, and as you would expect it was a total shit show.
I was having the hardest time getting everything together, scorecard, pencil, etc…I suddenly realized that she was already on the 3rd hole and had been carrying her own bag the whole time.
And things went downhill from there. It was my one shot and I blew it.

@JScore

but actually playing wider than it looked

I can kind of see that in the photo @OffTheDole posted (below). It’s very tight about 125 yards off the tee, but the actual fairway appears relatively wide. The LPGA players won’t have much trouble splitting the uprights on those trees 125 yards off the tee. Of course, that’s just one hole.

[fishtopher18]

Absolutely - Sahalee is all about start line. If you hit your start lines, you’ll be fine. None of these players shape it excessively off the tee so they’ll do just fine.

Now my course up the road at Everett Country Club is another story. Its a tight piece of property tee to green

That last pic is a 280y driveable par 4

[avess]

Looks safest to just putt it down the corridor
