Pine-Needle-13th-4381-web.jpg?w=640

Kyle Franz recently renovated the Donald Ross layout that will host the U.S. Women’s Open for a fourth time. Check out hole-by-hole maps.

As much as I like watching the men play at Muirfield Village, I'm going to be watching a LOT of the USWO at Pine Needles.

It's one of my favorite courses.

Same, I really enjoy watching a professional event at a course I have played before.

Went today, and had a great time. The course really looked good. Smaller crowds than a men’s open, and not a single get in the hole, mashed potatoes or Babba booey. Really a great atmosphere.

Not that I'm a gage for any high level golf, but I HATE Pine Needles greens. I may have had more 4-putts on this course in one round than rest of my 'career' combined in the PH area. Only slight exaggeration.

I have a new role model ;-) 

Is she hitting greens but very far from the pin?  I'm wondering what the difference in SG:P and SG:A is for the two.

The course looked very generous off the tee, but those greens did look tough. Being on the correct part of the green was not only important for scoring, but it also determined if the ball would stay on the green. We saw several times when an approach shot was a couple yards away from being a very good shot and it ended up in a bunker, chipping area,or native area. There is no rough around the greens, so the ball can roll pretty far from the green.

Why is first and second place the same amount? I've never seen that before.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
