President's Cup - Greens

they are unreal,it almost makes some of them look silly but imagine how bad we'd all look:D

they are expecting some rain on saturday which might slow them down just a little bit....
 
apparently back in the 70's lee trevino walked off after one hole complaining that the greens were way too fast lol!!!i think back then the 11th was the 1st hole.
 
I saw the one where Choi putted away from the hole and it came back at almost 90 degree's.... sod that

as said though, nice to see them struggle. Radar was having a right dig at US team in the 1st round for getting their approaches wrong and leaving downhill putts

Would love to have a forum meet on greens @ 13/14 on stimp, 20 points would probably win hahaha
 
Just seen a clip on SSNews
Norman poured water from a bottle onto the green and it just rolled away.
Didn't soak in at all.
Apparently it's hard holding a green with a wedge - we'd all be stuffed!!
 
I think it is great to see greens as fast and as undulating as these.

The sandbelt courses all look incredible and I would love to play some of them but it's a bit far for our lads jolly!

Seriously though,when you see how great courses like RM are it really is a travesty that there is not a Major held over there,the only time a huge group of top golfers play in Oz is an event like this,even the Oz Open only gets a handful of top ranked golfers.

The only downside of a Major being held there would be a bloody late night watching it!:p
 
Would be great to see a major there for sure.Still would get to watch golf in the afternoon :)

Had a look at prices to play there and at current exchange rate $490 NZ or 245 GBP :(
 
I can normally putt ok on fast greens (ok, not this fast), but find chipping / pitching on is the problem. Can't get any consistency.
