Front nine Colonial redesign:
-Most of the tee shots look the same or very similar. The bunkers are softened and have more of a rugged look to it compared to the perfect ovals that were here but also have these random mounds in the middle of them as well.
-The old greens on a lot of the holes used to be slightly perched up from the fairway, but that is mostly gone. The course feels way flatter because of it and makes it easier to run up shots from the trees. There’s also a few greenside bunkers gone, most notably on 4, which used to be a really difficult hole and now it’s not as difficult.
-The greens are pretty firm since they are really new. Fairways will be paramount to have spin and control. The rough is a bit patchy from a rough winter so you can get lucky.
-Overall, scoring wise, I think it got a bit easier if anything. The firm greens will keep the scoring in check but in a couple years, I do feel like players will really be able to go low here. I do think members will enjoy the redesign which is more important than just making this course more difficult for 1 week of the yr.
Hoping to go out with a winner at the Houston Open in what will be my last article for @bettingexpert

A full each way return from 45/1 Si Woo Kim and Martin Laird Top Scot at even money. Tidy profit for those who took up the picks mentioned in The Players Championship @bettingexpert article!
Scottie Scheffler is very much the msn to beat at TPC Sawgrass this week but a past champion could be one to watch 👀

It's a weak field in Mexico which could open the door for a proven PGA Tour winner who can be backed at 55/1.

Didn't get the outright winner in last week's Sony Open article but did suggest a playoff was worth a punt.

Show this photo to a loved one or friend who doesn't follow darts and ask them to guess which one is 16.
Took my wife 3 guesses and she's adamant that Littler isn't 16 😂
