Well done, TBT! So, who went for #13 Augusta in two?
I figured if anyone was doing it, it would be Amol just because I know that's his shot shape. I think he should have gone for it.
Interesting thoughs there Rusty. Did Tour 18 have to play anything out as a result of the litigation? There is a course up in Dallas called the Tribute that copied the famous golf holes of The British Open (The Open) courses. Know if anything happened to them as a result?
The Amen corner isn't exactly like the orig. but it's as close as they were going to get with the land conditions. The important part of those holes (and the other famous holes) to me is what the holes looked like from the tee. That is where the awe set in. No it wasn't exactly like the hole but it gave you a good idea what the hole played like. Pretty cool, esp. Amen Corner.
None of us.....you would be amazed how big of a draw you actually have to play to get around that corner...it's crazy! Amol hit a great drive(the only good one in the group) with a nice draw and when we get there he was still 240 or so out.

that hole should set up perfect for him.
I hit my drive over to the left side of the fairway, but it hit into the upslope and got no roll. I got down there and I was really close to the creek, and I had some overhanging tree limbs between me and the green. So I had 230 out, and would have had to hit a 3 wood from a lie above my feet and hit a big hook with a creek right in front of the green. I just don't have that shot in my arsenal. I laid up and then missed the green because my wedge play sucks.
Very interesting insight on the litigation. As for the course, it looks like fun. My only thought is there doesn't seem to be very much/deep rough. My imagination, weather conditions, or how it normally is? Great review.
It's bermuda rough so it doesn't have to be really long to be nasty.....miss a green or fairway by just a few feet and the ball disappears into thick tangled bermuda rough.
