(He is, but Iâm referencing his tales about how he canât write, and his wife crying or laughing or whatever â I forget which â when editing most of his early work.)

Super cool video. With all the chatter from the various âlower your handicapâ, club fitting and scott fawcett threads, I hope a lot of people read @mshriver3 comment. Proper expectations is the key to playing better golf.

Currently yes. Eventually the wall is coming down.
Off the top of my âIâm busy at work, and Iâm dumbâ brain, Portmarnock, and Pinehurst #2 come to mind. Chambers bay and pac dunes pops in as well.
Really? 5 Has the hardest green on property. 8 is meh, 10 is a good hole, 16 is a good hole.
My only thought was maybe Pebble because 6 and 18 are so memorable

I intentionally left out pebble, because it felt like cheating. But youâre right. Very memorable, but also sort of neutered due to distance. Maybe I just didnât think they were all that great because I birdied both of those holes with some less than stellar golf.

Props for not bringing Augusta into the mix. I thought for sure that would be the easy answer.

Couple thoughts:
I like the concept and basically a bigger scale of the Preserve where you get to play approach shots only. Would be fun to do this for a round but hit the drives and if they arenât position A just drop them there, so you get the driver reps in.
Was waiting for the WITB at the end similar to the Hawaii vids but it wasnât there, was this just a product of it being a âRhoback videoâ?
Sawgrass looks really fun but the green fees are insane, itâs going to be over $1k soon isnât it?? And the TPC branding sucks, it is a less creative tour version of when Kiawah, PGA West, Oak Tree National etc. all had the Landmark Golf oak tree logo. Harding Park is the only one to my knowledge that has a unique logo separate from TPC.

This is very close to a âyour driver is always perfectâ challenge. I liked it - but I would have liked it more if they used Tronâs plan on the hole, perfectly executed to his own distance/shot. If Tron hits a 315y driver, my mistake, but instead putting him at 280y on the right side vs 315y right side would have been a bit more interesting.
Would have given a look at position A for him, not position A from a tour player. But maybe that was the point?

I think this is it, the point seemed to be to illustrate just how hard of a course it is when you see tour players on it and how their strategies have to be on those second shots
Ah could be. I sort of read into the âAms have such a hard time at this course as as second shot coursesâ to mean this is how an Am could play with perfect tee shots (so was expecting the ams perfect tee shots not a tour pros).

an amateur could be in those spots (position A) from the proper tee

This view of two courses was jarring to me and honestly goes to a lot of what is wrong with golf in this country. I completely get why Sawgrass does this. I might not completely agree, but I get it. My issue is people see this an equate this and only this with what makes a good course.
