- I was told how hilly it was, and how the greens are simply just not flat, over and over and over. So, they are, but that is not what was impressive to me at all. The size of the golf course, specifically in length, is unbelievable!!! Take your golf course, put it on your IPad, and then just stretch it as wide as the screen will go. Your probably about half way!
- 2/8 fairway, is easily 120 yards wide, easily... I would say a golfer who can break 85 every other time, would be hitting 3 shots to a number of the par 4's... Its one thing to be 495, its another to be 495 up hill around a corner.
- There are no more quiet marshalls... There use to be 10 guys around the green all holding up signs to be quiet, they are all gone. The Patrons are way past needing anyone to tell them anything. When someone hit, it got quiet.
- The bunkers, same thing... you can't see out of most of them, they are just huge!
- Pimento cheese sandwich, coke, bag of chips, 5 bucks. BBQ sandwich, 3 bucks, chicken sandwich 3 bucks. Beer 5 bucks.
- Not so much as a gum wrapper on the course, anywhere...
- Asked a guy where he got his cigar, he just gave it to me. Never did find out.
- Bathrooms, 50 stalls, in and out in 2 minutes.
- Buy something at the pro shop, dont want to carry it all day, check it for free. 100 people in front of you, in and out in 4 minutes!
- If there is a logistic they have solved it.
- The most pleasant experience at a sporting event, there is no 2nd place!
- All, that and we have not even talked about the golf part...
- Stood next to Phil and Tiger. Followed both on Friday, spent a ton of time at 16 green and 17 tee. I was on tv and have my picture watching Tiger and Rahm swing on Friday.
- You could leave your wallet in your chair for 3 hours, come back and I believe it would still be there.
- You can put your chairs down at 16, come back 5 hours later and they have not been touched.
- I would put chairs down at 16, between 17. Watch them hit the shot, then simply turn around and watch them tee off on 17, its only about 15 - 20 feet there. Or get in the grandstands so you can see 15 and 16...
- While they are getting to 16, I would go back to 3 and 4. You can watch them come in and again watch them tee off.
- And then seats on 11, you can watch 11 and 12.
Probably to long, but was absolutely blown away!
