Pre Tournament Notes

SCG,

A very thorough preview there, well done.

I have had one round already and the course feels more comfortable than Augusta.

August felt to me like I needed to be longer off the tee, long irons/fairway woods into the greens were troublesome, but to play any other way meant automatic dropped shots.

Which Harbour Town will be used?
Ian

Ian,

The one that has been posted is Eddie's HD version ID # 2382.

I did a practice round at mc/mc trying a few things out and it played well. I'm looking to get a pitch shot working and was tying that. I did play a few draw and fade shots during my round and they worked well.

Gentlemen,
Thank you.
Harbour Town was always one of my favourite courses to play when I first bought Links or whatever the name was in 1999(?).

I will try to have a couple of practice rounds before Thursday.


Ian

The 1999 version was called Links LS 1999, with a picture of Arnie on the box. Powerstroke and the 3 click swing made their debut.

I have an original boxed version.

I see an ominous sign of a repeat of last week. Hot round with distance wedges and 80% of the putting was very good, a practice round under tournament conditions of 65, 8 birdies 2 bogeys - that is where the 20% of the putting was off, the side hill slope got me in both cases. I need to make some notes on a couple of holes, those two greens to start with and a couple of fairways you really need to be in the right position.

Still it is an enjoyable course. I had forgotten how good a job Eddie did with it.

Call it sacrilege but Augusta was never a course I really liked playing, certainly in the real world it has an aura.
