fixyurdivot Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Chambers Bay on a day with brisk Puget Sound wind. Don't recall which tees we used, but certainly not Black. A couple of the drives required a very healthy carry to get over waste area and, naturally, they were into the wind.

Mr. 82 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'll put a slight twist on this topic. I put together the 18 toughest holes here in my hometown of Tallahassee. I compiled this list, using every local golf course, and picking the toughest 18 holes, by hole number, that I could find. http://woeckener.blogspot.com/2016/10/tallahassees-18-toughest-golf-holes.html Sent from my coral using MyGolfSpy mobile app DawgDaddy 1 Quote G400 Driver XR 4 Fairway 16.5° Fli-Hi Utility Iron - 21° G Series 5-9 irons SM7 46°, 50°, 54° & 58° Ghost Spider S putter Nexus Laser Rangefinder Garmin Approach S20 GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. 82 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 If you like Tobacco Road, you will love Tot Hill Farms. Playing those two courses back to back is a true test of your gameI haven't played Tobacco Road, but played Tot Hill quite a few years ago. Frankly, I thought the only thing missing from that course was a clowns mouth and a windmill. Sure, put a barn literally right next to a smallish green, and that hole that had a valley fairway but this giant cliff that juts out into the fairway that has a sole purpose of putting a cart path on it, which also blocks your view of the rest of the hole. Not sure what game you want to test with that sort of nonsense, but I just walked away from that course thinking that it was the dumbest golf course I have ever played, and I've played over 200 of them around the world.

bens197 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 PGA National. The bear trap is no joke. Played the bear trap from the pro tees and managed to bogey my way through it. Didn't really like the course, or Florida golf, in general. Couldn't agree more. Florida Golf is hot and boring. The champ course is sand and water and a constant headache.

Brian A Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hands down Oaktmont CC. Shot 100 (after 4 straight rounds in low 80s at other courses). Granted the caddy and I didnt see eye to eye and after starting out with 35 on the first 5 holes, I told him just give me a distance and carry my bag, I'll decide what and where to hit. 65 on the last 13 holes. The greens are as tough as Ive been told they are, if you didnt drain the putt it ran by the hole 5-10 feet. If you miss small, you're in a bunker. Still one one of the most amazing courses but it was tough Har in the Hat and Rickp 2 Quote Driver: G425 9* Hzrdus Smoke Green Small batch 6.5 70g Fairway Wood: Cobra Radspeed Big 3 Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Hybrid: Cobra Aerojet 5 Wood Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Irons: T200 (4-AW) AMT Black Stiff Shafts Wedges: Tour Rack 56* 60* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Face palm) Shot an avg of 2 strokes lower per hole when I quit listening to him... Just examples, first hole was 140 out, he said hit your 120 club due to the wind and downhill. I hit it pure and was 15 yards short. 2nd hole, said I was 30 yards out, again great shot, went 30 yards, right in to a deep trap, he goes oh, I think I was wrong on yardage, double checked it, it was 50 yards. Another time said club up to 210 club, I said I dont think I should. smoked it well over the green.
