Lol, I hear ya Mark. The difference, I think, is that the point of my "rant" is to promote positive change. Unlike what these guys are doing out on the course. In general my rule on complaining is don't do it if you have no intention of being part of a solution.
Bottom line, this kind of...
You can't be a perfectionist and appreciate the game of golf at the same time. Maybe try bowling?
I disagree, no character trait that leads them to complain also contributes to them being a great player. Striving for excellence and expecting perfection are two very different things. And if you...
I competed in this years Pro Worlds in the Open division and really enjoyed trying to beat the courses even though I would consider my effort far from satisfactory, haha.
The point I want to make is simple. I cannot understand the point of competitors complaining about course design flaws or...
I played in the Open division at Worlds this year and competed on this course and enjoyed it. I'll make a couple of points that I think are relevant.
SRU was very different from the other 2 courses used. I can't understand how that isn't a good thing. It highlights different skills and...
Peter, when looking at tournament results you used to be able to see details that included the layout and maybe even conditions. Also you could view course SSA's for every tournament that has taken place at that course. I accessed that information ALL THE TIME. What was the reasoning for...
Its perched on the hill off to the left, definitely a full 420' and the elevation of the hill makes it play a tad longer. Not sure how old the pic is but there are also a couple of medium sized trees now directly in line with the pad and basket. I usually hyzer flip a champ Boss straight off to...
Feldberg had about the best looking drive of the 7 on hole 1 of the final 9 but ended up being stuck in a tree with a 2m rule penalty, ran the putt, missed the comeback, took a 5. Hole 2 shanked it into the woods, 2 throws to get out, missed the putt, took a 5. Hole 5 he 3 putted and got a 4...
One of our local sourpuss pro's came to his first hole of the tournament whining and complaining about the same exact thing . . . that he didnt get to play with any of the good players in the first round. He made it a few holes into his round and then DNF'd. I'm sure the supergroup appreciated...
So impressive. Dangerous green, basket perched on a hill rolling away towards OB road and you can't see it in the vid but there is a lake directly over that hill behind the basket. He's like 50ft out . . . I would NEVER even think about running that putt.
It is completely impressive given how hard the hole is (very difficult green) but it should be noted that its like 45 degrees downhill (down the side of the dam) to the basket. So its not like he threw a putter 340ft into the basket on flat ground.
I will be there trying to bring home the...
Yep, you're gonna have to get past me . . . :)
There is the mild possibility of you actually throwing off the dam and into the river on hole 1, haha. There is an OB creek behind the basket of hole 4, an OB swap on hole 6, water behind the basket on hole 12 (not a big deal), you have to throw...
So I can understand quickly attaining the skillset that it takes to become this caliber of player. There are alot of highschool/college players that have the free time to spend on the course or practice field all day. It just takes reps and commitment. What fascinates me is the acquisition of...
