Thin2win Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 1. Jack Nicklaus courses, specifically his green structures. His layouts are great, but he designed every green to test the devil himself. 2. Want to speed up golf? Make it so that once a player putts, they must continue to putt until they are in the hole. 3. Loud music on the course. Really, any music on the course. I don't care if you drink a fifth and smoke a bong, but I don't want to hear your music. Ever.

Sent from my SM-G935P using MyGolfSpy mobile appI think for me it's the constant effort to trick the player. His teeing grounds never really point down the fairway, there are always awkward angles (both off the tee and on approach), he likes to use a lot of competing breaks on the greens to fool you on the reads, all of that just gets tiresome. Plus I'm from C Indiana where we have a lot of early Dye efforts and Dye redesigns and after a while you just get like "yeah, yeah Pete Dye whatever"Sent from my Pixel 3 using MyGolfSpy mobile app DiscipleofPenick, Kenny B, downlowkey and 1 other 4 Quote Rogue SZ 10.5 *NEW* Fujikura Pro Green 65 X Rogue 15 degree Evnflow Blue 6.5 Back in the Bag Z765 4-G Nippon Modus 120 Stiff 54 and 60 Amazing Grace Ass Kicker Link to comment

There is a muni near me that was designed in 1924 (by the same guy that designed Firestone South). The trees have grown a lot since then. I assume many have been trimmed/removed over the years, but there are still a few holes where it is possible to be in the fairway and not have a shot to the green because of huge trees blocking you. It's almost not fair, but it adds to the charm and difficulty.

sixcat Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have a few unpopular opinions. The Players is NOT a major!!!!!!!!!! Patrick Reed isn't as bad a person as the media would have us believe. Phil Mickelson isn't as good a person as the media would have us believe. TPC Courses are mostly garbage. European broadcasts are far superior to US broadcasts. The par 5 number 9 at my home club should never have been allowed to be turned into a long par 4!!!!!!!!! Obviously, the last one isn't going to raise an eyebrow on here. The hole is a pretty severe dogleg left with water all down the right. The green is only about 12 paces deep and is elevated with a small pond fronting the green that is about 40 yards deep. A perfect lay-up area of about 60 yards depth sites between the pond and a creek that bisects the fairway about 100 to 110 yards short of the green. A long, accurate tee shot would give you 200 yards into the green but as I previously stated, lots of water in play. I used to take 4 iron, 7 iron, PW on most days and had more birdie attempts than I could count. Now, it's a boring driver, 8 iron hole. The new tee box took the dogleg entirely out of the mix making it as straight as an arrow. Mr. 82, revkev, deejaid and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment
