Who's the player you follow if you don't mind me asking? If you would rather not say I completely understand that too
Thanks
ESFLYER95. I don't think you are missing much, unless you get a grandstand seat there isn't much to see and whole parts of the course are completely inaccessible to fans like 7,8,9 for example. You'll have a better view from your sofa. Sorry, I prefer to keep my employer anonymous so he isn't searchable along with my FT profile and any opinions I have - thank you for understanding.

No problem for me, since I mostly play Stableford.
I would just walk down the stairs, collect my ball and walk right to the next hole - Skipping the part, where I dig myself into that sand and, after a couple of missed attempts, have to remodel the whole area ...
Thanks
Askartus. Your man Kymer MC(hammered) as they say on tour - sorry. If that is one of your to-do courses bring your big-boy legs and two boxes of balls
. If you play it send me a PM, I'm interested in a non-pro's take on it.

UAL250 I'm glad you enjoyed. Yes, it is an odd course, the elevation changes make it really hard to figure out.

xyzvlad You are welcome to shoot me a PM with your guess, I'll tell you the truth if you'r right....I just don't want him associated with my posts. I'm glad you enjoyed the TR!!

stevie. Up close the greens look just like they do on TV.....bad. The issue is that some of those slopes and runoffs players are using to move their ball around the greens stimp at nearly 20 and the greens stimp at 12. So you can be off the green, on the same cut but putting through something far faster than the green. It's odd. I putted on a few holes and each is different, there is not speed to learn.
