I am a little late on the posting of this topic, but with the big event almost here I thought it would be interesting to explore. In late April, we hosted a local qualifier and the FSGA came out on behalf of the USGA on 2 occasions to scout tees and pin positions (they had notes from the last one 6 years ago). The course ended up playing just under 7000 and they did bump down some of the par 3s to play at 210, 205, 185, and 170 (they can all be from 195-230). They wanted the greens fast, but not US Open fast (I think they wanted 10.8 to low 11s). The FSGA guys picked the pin placements and made sure it was a good balance for a very great test of golf. The medalist was -3, three were -1 and even par got you into a playoff. How do you think your course would hold up to pros showing up to show off their skills to go to the next stage? Here is a video highlighting one person's experience followed by a few photos of Tiger scoping out the course with Charlie during his practice round. All in all, it was a great day and I felt that the course held its own as only 4 golfers (out of 80) broke par. -

This is critically important! It's easy to get lazy and start guessing. Just start over and get it right. -

Dang. I would have retired to keeping my cart partner's score and drinking beers. Not necessarily in that order. -

I preferred it that way. And to take on Chamblee of all people. He’s paid to do that stuff. -
