Are the women plying the same layout? If so... Val -3..

they're playing 11 different tee pads and 2 different baskets. https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.dgpt.com/2017/07/2017_VO_course_map-1.pdf

Looks like Nikko, Ricky, Barsby and Nick Masters on lead card tomorrow...

That hole9 looks like fun... Almost as many doubles or worse than pars and no birds so far...

Don't remember the course enough to know which hole that would be...

To add to colucc43's very good description, hole 9 is one of the more discussed holes on the course in terms of par. It is listed as a par 3, but it is very very rare to have a tee shot be good enough for a good look at deuce so twos on that hole typically are of the throw-in variety. I've never understood why they resist calling it a par 4...perhaps because it then goes from the hardest hole on the course to one of the easier (from toughest to 6th easiest based on today's scores).

Nikko and Barsby seem to own this course. Glad to see Nikko coming on after a very slow season! Would love to see either win.

Okay, I'm sayin' it, your new avatar, I just don't know.

I heard they'd be on the Lizotte/Sexton/Conrad/Anthon card. But I believe the Cale card is getting some post production video too, but I'm not sure by whom

Okay, I'm sayin' it, your new avatar, I just don't know.

Fear the nut!

Drop Ricky and that should be a fun card.

Looks like a mongoose crossed with Donald Trump.

Please see Streets' assessment. I see it being a legend at this point. Sigh.

Yep, #9 should be a par 4. The second specimen ever of the elusive too-low par has been found in the wild!

Switch part on 9 and the new 10

I don't see that as a bad thing! At this point, I'm beginning to develop an appreciation.

What card is Jomez going to be on for the rest of the rounds? TBH, Jomez is the only one I will watch unless CCDG for example catches another card that has other players I am more a fan of (talking generally here, have no idea is CCDG are doing anything at Vibram)

10 shouldn't be a par 3 for the same reason that 9 shouldn't. The shape and elevation of the fairway makes it tough to get a tee shot in deuce range...if there are twos on the hole, they will be throw-ins. It may be an easy par 4, but it is rightly a par 4.

Try coming over to Par Talk and saying that.

10 certainly shouldn't be a par 3

My understanding is he is not.
