Bethpage and it's not even close for me. And Turning Stone is in my top 5 of all courses I've ever played.Dean, if you could play Bethpage Black or Turning Stone which would you choose? And you can not say both lol

Wow. They have always checked my id when paying. I guess I look unreliable.
I haven't played it in that kind of heat. I'm not sure I could make it around until I lose the 70 pounds I'm working off.

To expand on that just a tiny bit, I've played Shenendoah a handful of times and Kaluyat once. I've never played Atonyote. On 8/23, I'm playing 36 there: 18 on Kaluyat and 18 on Atonyote. I doubt playing either will change my mind.That says a lot right there. So I guess my next question if when do I get an invite to play Bethpage black
7 was the final number. I wasn't far from having to break out the scissors to shorten the strap.Pete went down 7 or 8 clicks on his belt.

I've been thinking a lot about the course over the last two days. I think it's just about perfect from a challenge standpoint. IF you can keep the ball in the fairway, and IF you can hit a green with a long iron, I do think it is score able. Neither of those things are all that easy. On both 16 and 18, I thought I had hit perfect tee shots right down the gut of the fairway. In both instances my ball rolled through the fairway and two paces into the left rough. In neither case was I able to put the ball on the green with my approach (F'n rough). And missing the greens generally led to more trouble as the rough was thicker and deeper around the greens.
I can't wait to play it again.on 15 and 18 I was searching for US Open pars. Drives in the rough leading to long shots up hill to greens. Played for position out of fairway and hit wedges in to greens and had 15 and 10 feet for par on both(made bogey). It's not the fun way to play, but the rough kind of dictates it.

As for marshals. There were lots of grounds crews out on the course and you'd see a random person in a cart every now and then. Not sure if they were marshals or not.
I do not believe there are any marshals, I have yet to see one in my three years going there. The people you saw were either grounds crew or cart girls.
And for those wanting to play, keep in touch with the NYC, Long Island, North Jersey thread. I am trying to set up a foursome once a month until the course closes.

Let's talk about this next week!
Answer to number 1: I told JB that the round didn't feel that long. In fact talking to Pete on the way home, we played a tournament round earlier in the year that was about 5hrs 45 minutes. When I told him that this round was only 20 minutes faster, we were both surprised. Bethpage is a very large course and walking only. I would imagine if they had a set pace for it, it would be around 5 hours. This day with the heat everyone was moving just a bit slower. With that said, I think we waited on 3 tee boxes the entire day. So while the time shows that it was as slow round, the pace didn't feel it. If that makes any sense.

Answer to number 2. Anyone can register. However if you are an out of stater, you can only reserve a tee time 2 days in advanced as opposed to 7. I highlighted the article with the method used to register and reserve a tee time earlier in the thread. However I will post it under this spoiler tag as well. Side note, not sure if it's the norm or not, but all guys in my group were charged the state rate, which was $80. I've read lots of accounts where they check ID's when you check in for your time and charge your accordingly. However that did not happen, they checked my ID and said 80 a person.

Look what I found! Perfectly good 3W, how awesome is that. Too bad I'm not a lefty, so who wants it? :angel:
Where did you find it
That is amazing. I bet Thechosen1 is going to be stoked.I work with one of the caddies and told him this story and asked if he knew anything about a tree hugging 3W. Said he did and brought it in to work for me.
