@JeffFages@GSGA@AtlantaAthClub We'll see a nice range of variance from those players, only adding to the intrigue of this year's competition. Nice set-up choice to see who has done their homework or is flying by the daily ride.
It's the week of the 99th @GSGA Georgia Amateur, where the state's best players will be taking on the championship @AtlantaAthClub - Highlands course. It is strategically a straight-forward course, only demanding to those that take on unnecessary risk.
#6 @AtlantaAthClub normally plays 425 from championship tees. Lots of risk reward potential here. Don't be surprised if tees move up to make it driveable one day @GSGA#GeorgiaAmateur Which day should we do it?
The 11th on Royal Melbourne's Composite course is generating a lot of conversation. In addition to Hole 1, it illustrates how contours and firmness accentuate decision making and variance, especially when combined with playable width. cc: @gfordgolf @the_woke_yolk @newclubgolf
Lots of car time this week? Got you covered on the pod with @kevcmoore
We break down stat analysis strategy, how to analyze various skill levels, and he indulges my 2019 psychological fascination of Rory. https://t.co/7EEjLodMGV
@whatsacookie@LawsoniaGolf@newclubgolf Definitely player dependent, but if the push up is significant then yes. Not everyone has the 40 yard soft shot. But most have the 80 yard shot.
A week later and @LawsoniaGolf (Links) remains on the mind. Number 8 is a hole that stuck around the numerous @newclubgolf conversations throughout the weekend. It presents plenty of width, but the pushed up green introduces diminishing returns as one plays closer to the green.
It's @TheRinger16 week, and this edition has the crew at @DormieClub. In typical C&C fashion, #14 presents the short 4 with a question to be answered. There's plenty of width, but the farther one pushes up the more likely they will find themselves well below the putting surface.
What a day. Played very well thanks to @Squares2Circles teachings with a little 79. Always nice to break 80 when you’re a hack like me, we won’t talk about the speed second round. Can’t wait to get back out there.
A favorite hole from @the_fried_egg's Thoroughbred, @aikengolfclub's 14th provides ample width for pushing up into the green. The further one pushes into the green the more likely awkward contours and difficult chipping angles await. It's a great example of bunker restraint.
A favorite hole from this season was @PumpkinRidgeGC's 18th. The tee shot may be visually intimidating, but it's the second shot and-as we saw this year-the third (and maybe fourth) shot that make the hole. Next week the college kids get their shot at the Nike Intercollegiate.
Excited to be a part of @the_fried_egg's next event at @aikengolfclub. A lot of golf, an attention worthy golf course, and stimulating conversations is my type of day. I hope to see you there.
