Just got home and started watching it. Is this course as boring as it looks on tv? Not sure if it's the camera angles or its just a wide open course.

I was saying to some guys at the course earlier today that I thought it looked pretty interesting - and difficult? I also think TV makes it look boring. It's flat as a pancake it appears. TV makes golf appear much flatter than it is at most venues. Think Augusta as one example. Of course Augusta is a Parkland course and not what I'm calling the Nelson course as a heathland. I'm sure the Nelson course is much different when you are standing there. But.... it's kind of boring on TV.

Yup after about an hour I still couldn't get into it. Normally my wife and I enjoy watching golf on weekends.

I somewhat enjoyed it but I have a problem with the course itself. I really hate when a designer destroys the natural land and trees to build this type of course. The aerial shots were crazy Trinity forest all around and this barren wasteland of a golf course in the middle of it. I think that is terrible. The golf course in my opinion should just fit naturally into what is already there. If you want a links style course maybe Dallas isn't the place try the heartland or something. I didn't like it.

Agreed. The blimp shots were totally stunning....but also a little sad. I remember saying to myself "I hope that was already farmland" but I saw the true scale of it when they panned even further out to show an expanse of trees.

 

 

I think this guy might have something to say about the situation:

TF was built on a landfill, which has environmental constraints as far as what can be done.  Either way, Coore & Crenshaws signature is to use as much as the natural landscape as possible.  I am not going to say that there were no trees taken out but being a landfill I doubt there were many where the course was routed.  I struggle with seeing certain courses on TV because the broadcast doesn't do it justice for all the undulations.  I bet this course plays WAY better than it portays on TV.  Uneven lies, etc.

Correct. It was a landfill so there were no trees on site and they were not allowed to plant new ones due to environmental concerns. Not sure how that even works but that's what I read leading up to the tournament. Benign winds and some rain made the course much easier. Hopefully next year they put some teeth back in it.

So they went out to this landfill and Ben Crenshaw said wow look at these natural contours of this landfill let's build a link course here on top of this trash that will be fun.

I am only joking yeah I read the article hard to believe they didn't have to remove any trees though I just domt like the look at all. I would love to play it though get my FIR and GIR percentages way up make me feel good.

According to this article, it's actually his girlfriend:

Still, doesn't make it hurt any less. I know we all know this feeling...that's probably what makes it even more viral.
