Refreshing to read about a man who walks the walk in this excellent profile of Ted Scott by my colleague Josh Berhow. https://t.co/ullPuMxCLz

@theJeff80 thanks. usually i go with mediocre opening graph and then it's all downhill from there. i was looking for a change of pace.

[Josh Sens @JoshSens]

@RyanInAuburn @GambleSands agreed. i've written about it a couple of times this year.

@richiebratton @GOLF_com TPC Sawgrass missed out narrowly. Which courses would you nominate?

[Josh Sens @JoshSens]

@richiebratton @GOLF_com I think it's fair to say that the pros choose those locations for the tax rates and the weather more than for the brilliance of the golf course architecture

@odacovARotten @GOLF_com Personally, I think Fancourt is the best of those, design wise. Pinnacle Point spectacular views for sure. Leopard Creek an amazing experience. I have not seen Blair Athol. The fun for me is in the conversation. Thanks for being part of it.

@odacovARotten @GOLF_com I have. Which courses there would you say deserve inclusion? Royal Durban was on the list some years ago. Maybe a victim of shifting tastes or new courses nudging it out. One clarification: most panelists aren't writers. Varied professions. All well-traveled golf fanatics.

In advance of GOLF's new World Top 100, which will post Nov. 19, we've been discussing factors that do (don't) affect the rankings. How much does conditioning matter? https://t.co/GPPItlwIJ8

The building is Castle Stuart. The course is Old Petty, open for preview play through the end of this month.

No better way to whet your appetite for this week's Walker Cup than this in-depth look at Cypress Point. https://t.co/ITYBsmjS74

@Retiremortgage I just dm-ed you with my email. Happy to discuss

When he was a kid, Jackson Herrington rebounded from a serious eye injury. Now 19, he'll need a bounce back in the finals of the U.S Amateur. He's 4-down to Mason Howell through 11 holes of their 36-hole match.

[Josh Sens @JoshSens]

quiet on the tee! just not right now. 25 minutes and counting til the start of the u.s. am finals

Turned off John Daly Blvd in SF today and found John Daly II (no relation) warming up for US Am. Backswing way shorter than his dad's-- and on this swing, so was his follow through.

A cool sidelight to the U.S. Women's Amateur is seeing Bandon Dunes in a different light. Even if you've played it often, bet you've never dealt with this setup on the par-3 12th - shortened to 98 yards, with the flag just paces beyond a steep ridge.

If you're looking for a rooting interest in the U.S. Women's Amateur, you could do worse than Pimchompoo Chaisilprungruang, a delightful 19-year-old from Thailand. Not to worry. Her nickname is easy to pronounce.

These ain't gopher prints. At David McLay Kidd's golf course-in-the-making at Streamsong, signs of a creature Carl Spackler never had to deal with.

Old Petty, the second 18-holer at Cabot Highlands in Scotland, is rounding into shape. Tom Doak's design opens for two months of preview play on August 1. Full-blown opening next year.
