The Waste Management Open

Slightly better weather than I splashed round in this morning

Talked to a member who has played there with the scaffolding going up (so a concept of what it would look like in play) and he says it's a nothing hole and a bit of a nothing course aside from this week of the year

You have to admire the vision to create what they do for the tournament then. I suspect this applies to a number of courses. Stands, crowds etc give shape to a course.

Definitely. Plenty of courses that are transformed when tournament time arrives but pretty bland the rest of the year

I think perhaps we should give Chez Revie the trophy now!

Looks like it could be his day but a long way to go yet.

Rickie choking, or chasing it?

Chez has a very unlikeable swing. Any one but him really.

I like Chez, hits a more realistic distance for us normal golfers

sorry but i expect thats utter horse ****

we all have different opinions of courses but this is a pretty decent course in a great setting and they then make the most of it for this tournament

some people just like putting everything down i guess

Brother in law plays there every year in April and loves it . The par 3 and then the one after are still very good holes in their own right

My thoughts exactly.


The course is stunning, loads of risk/reward. Condition looks immaculate, like it should be with the amount of money they get from hosting the PGA Tour!

Couldn't disagree more. A nothing course i could imagine many a course we've all played in the UK being that but the greens here look immaculate, the rough looks tough and the atmosphere immense.
I'd very much enjoy seeing you or any of us on here tee up on the 16th with no one or everyone watching and see how you go 😉

Now would you get the crowd going or wait until it was a bit quiet?

I’d pull a 9 iron and get those drunken louts going mental. Then probably knife it into a steward 90 degrees right! :whoo:

Rick Shiels did a vid, playing there... https://youtu.be/EcSZFTPso8s

I'd be happy to give it a go. Looks pretty good to me.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Fair play to Chez - confidence to play the 18th his way and makes the requisite birdie. Interesting playoff now, contrasting styles!

 

[fundy]

such a shame the play off doesnt start on 16 imo

 

[Dasit]

Another play off!


Insane that finish, what a clutch putt on 18 by Chez

 

[drewster]

Great fun to watch on tv, but not sure i'd want to be there myself with all those hammered americans. Great to see Phil back to form too.

It’s an extremely average course mate, well known for that. Nothing more than a typical America. Resort course
