I wore whoop for 3 years and that was my exact thought process. I absolutely loved it at first; learning about myself and why affects what. But then I started waking up with predictable recovery’s. It gets to a point where you know what the app is going to tell you. Started becoming a waste of money imo. Definitely helpful for people who are just getting into fitness and healthy lifestyles.
@fard_bo@Avidgolfer98@TronCarterNLU Caddied there 2 years ago for a season, absolutely the worst course the PGA plays conditions wise. Every hole is damn near the same. There’s a reason why no big name pros play in th Byron.
Hot take: the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is actually a very ordinary par 3 that has been transformed into a spectacle by brilliant marketing.
From a pure architectural standpoint, it’s short, flat, and visually unremarkable. It asks very little beyond a straightforward mid-iron to the centre of the green. There’s no meaningful contouring, no forced decision-making, and no real penalty for conservative play. In isolation, it wouldn’t stand out on any PGA TOUR course.
Credit where it’s due. The tournament and the PGA TOUR have created one of the most recognisable images in modern golf without relying on architectural brilliance to do it.
So yes, it’s an unforgettable spectacle and compulsory viewing thanks to elite marketing.
But as a golf hole, it’s doing far less work than people think.
I can’t think of another hole in golf this ordinary that gets anywhere near this level of hype. Can you?

@jhayes1189 @TheRealNole91@SHistorians The ultimate challenge in golf is Oakmont and OHCC is right next to it. After the Gil Hanse renovation, this course is S tier by far. You don’t know until you know.
