fixyurdivot Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Everyone recovered yet? Hard to be the follow-up act to The Masters, but someone's gotta do it and the good folks at Harbor Town Golf Links are ready to give it a go! Home of the iconic (fake) lighthouse and patrons wearing plaid, Hilton Head SC and the RBC Heritage is among the top stops on tour. A healthy handful of players from Augusta are in the field to include; Speith, Thomas, Smith, Cantlay, Morikawa, and DJ. Those that played all four days at Augusta may be at a disadvantage... worn out . In fact, it wouldn't surprise me that a few late WD's have the "alternates" scrambling to pack and catch a flight there. Stewart Cink returns to defend his title and, as well as he has been playing of late, it would not surprise me if he's in in the final mix on Sunday. While not on my FTx team, my gut tells me DJ is overdue and I'm thinking he'll get it done. Don't forget to make your pick for this weeks winner https://runmypools.com/JRMPNWWF. Good luck! Almost forgot about the ceremonial cannon-shot .

vandyland Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Looking forward to this one! I played HT last year so I am hoping to have a new perspective on many of the holes, particularly the par 5 15th because I cannot understand how someone can have the shotmaking ability to reach that in two but somehow people do it: Hobert, BIG STU and fixyurdivot 3 Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.

juspoole Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Going to watch this one a little bit closer this year. I will be going back to Sea Pines in June, but this time will play Harbour Town. Only downfall is they punch the greens about 12 days before I play it - hopefully that's enough time to recover. I've played several other HHI courses over the last few years we've gone and really enjoy Carolina/Georgia type golf. Looking forward to it.

That has to be one of the narrowest and tree lined fairways on tour! For grins, I looked up some more info on that hole and perhaps it's just that view and the shadowing of the trees, because this dosen't look quite as daunting. Note the highlighted comment about reaching in two. No doubt that applies to a good many holes on tour in the past decade.

It is not overly narrow compared to some of the other holes BUT if you are even 5 yds left of the center of the fairway you are probably blocked out. The trees on the left and right are MASSIVE and actually one of my critiques of Harbour Town is that they have let the trees get too big for "normal" play. As far as a tournament test, it is awesome. It forces players to hit a variety of shots and has a ton of 1/2 shot penalties for being out of position. As for it being a resort course, I think it is less and less "playable" for us mortals and it will just keep getting tighter each year, methinks. I thought it was a cool experience but I am not sure I would do it again because I only felt like I could hit driver 2-3 times during the round and it was incredibly expensive.

fixyurdivot Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I haven't had a chance to watch any of this event, but hopefully tomorrow. Only 2 of my FTx team made the cut... events after majors are often odd... actually surprised Cam Smith didn't WD prior to Thursday. I had a hunch he'd be dragging around post Masters baggage but started him anyway. And what-up with Rickie Fowler? He is seriously looking like he's heading back to the Korn Ferry next year . mikeanthony 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
