NLU Film Room: Playing from "Position A" at TPC Sawgrass

I have never played the course. I did not realize they put up a walkway around the back of the hole.

I love in sports when someone says great shot, or great throw after watching it miss by a ton. We all do it. I do it multiple times a round.

Just a temporary deal they do in the months leading up to the tourney. Course is in better (read: drier/firmer) shape than it’s been in the lead-up the past few years and greens are fuller with the rye. We filmed this a couple weeks ago - they were still pretty slow and velcro-y, which led to some disconcertingly long swings for lag putts and the host of putts left short.

Enjoyed producing this one - easy way to show off the golf course without having to worry about what happens if you’re not playing great golf that day. A few shots I wish I had back - wanted to go immediately back out and play again. Underestimated how tough it is to keep the swing sharp throughout the round without hitting drives. One of the best sets of par fives in the world and I butchered them.

That drive on 18 was pretty pretty good.

Seeing TC hit multiple draws is breaking my mind. So used to those wipey fades. Is the draw a more normal occurrence now?

Enjoyed the content, unique way to show off the course with the concept and camera angles.

Are we seeing tasteful layups from “Position Algorithm”…

I think we’re seeing a club transition making that change happen similar to how @Soly describing how with the old clubs he was expecting the ball to move right or left and he had to adjusted his swing but now with the Titleist clubs it’s making that muscle memory go out of whack so the swing gets heavily adjusted back to normal

With the way I played the par fives I probably should’ve tastefully laid up!

With this video and last year’s video, I really want to play it. Then I see this crap. But, the prices are only going up as time goes on? Definition of a tough scene.

Watched Tron hit that ball live on 16 from the middle of the fairway while I was caddying on 18. The whole time I’m watching, I’m wondering, “was that Tron?”

It was a LOT darker than the cameras make it seem.

And then the inevitable $200 minimum dropped on merch on top of that

I have to say, I really want to play the course. But I don’t really need any merch. I feel like the TPC brand has been cheapened over the years and has a pretty bland logo.

I agree. I have a Deere Run hybrid cover because it has deer hoof prints on it that I thought were cool but the tpc logo stinks. I wish they would just let each tpc course do its own thing with their logo.
