Awesome lesson today. If this holds true, my ball flight is now a draw, driver is straight, and my miss is a slight push. So excited!
If you are playing in this event and not planning on playing a practice round this course is going to be a challenge. This place requires quality golf shots to be hit on every hole.
How many blind shots do you have? Isn't the course more target golf & hitting to a number? Are the green complexes challenging and not receptive to missed approaches (if you're GIR, is penal if you're not flag hunting)
Serious questions as I've played other Stranz designed courses and I'm genuinely curious.

Good times for sure. The course conditions were pretty disappointing. The fairways are just starting to turn, so they will be fine by mid may. The greens were way quicker 2weeks ago, they said they are going to punch them again in mid may, so they should come back long before the event.Good to see everyone down at RNK yesterday. Now that you've seen the course. Is there things you will be focusing on in your prep?
I'm hopeful that come July the conditions of the course will be a lot better. Some pretty rough areas that need to be worked by the greens keepers. Mesaman77 kept telling me yesterday we will see a different course.
I really hope the pace of play is better in front of us too. That was a long round for sure.

Great to meet you man! Keep working on the game and be ready to take the crown in July.By the way, really enjoyed everything yesterday especially meeting all the people I hadn't met before! It was outstanding!! We can do this team DMV, we really can!!!!
I don't want to turn this into a beat up the course thread. But it's a justified concern at this point to me. Not the Bermuda turning, as I know nature will take care of that. But the many holes that had no grass at all in large areas of the fairway and several other holes that had craters in the fairway. I'm not sure which hole, I meant to make a mental note. But it had a 4 foot wide sink hole in the fairway. If your ball went in there, you'd never know it as it was a blind shot over alhill.Good times for sure.

Hole 6 really disappointed me, with the Hugh drainage pipe sticking out of the fairway. They have been working on that hole for months and they still don't look near done.
Kevin also mentioned that he noticed some bunkers that were lacking sand, I hope that gets taken care of to.
Historically these greens play quick in the summer and the fairways are lush. We shall see.
Many many blind shots, and this course is very much not going to be over powered either. It offers it self up, but it's not the play. Couple times yesterday I left myself to close to the green. Leaving myself those 50-70 yard flip wedges.
Pin placements could really make this course a tough tough track.

The one thing I need to really work on is longer shots with the ball below my feet - and there are a lot of them at RNK! I had a couple shots on par 5's that I had a chance to get on in 2, ( granted, most times I wouldn't try to reach, but one was on 17, and a match could come down to that ) and a couple times on par 4's after mis-hits with the driver, but mis-hit my second because the ball was below my feet. Some of that may be a stabilizing issue because of my knee, but I have always struggled with that shot. It WILL be fixed by RR.
Rob,Hey ChristopherKee...what's your schedule look like the next couple weeks, either weekday or more likely weekend. I'd be up for getting a round in with you. MSemann777 mentioned coming up to NOVA to get a chance to play with more of the team, maybe we could arrange it around that if it works.

Rob,
Looks like Mike (MBurnham) and myself are looking at the possibility of a weekday roadtrip in the first couple of weeks of May. I have a couple of dates that won't work (May 9th and 11th) but otherwise things are looking open for both of us. Let me know if any particular dates work for you guys, and we can fit in a "friendly" RNK round.
