Someone in my group yesterday told me they put in some new tees to extend the course 200 yards for the US Open. Anyone know which holes? Couldn't seem to find them.

#7 has a new tee that is maybe 35 or 40 yards longer for the par 4
#9 has a new tee that looks like it is in Suffolk county instead of Nassau
#13 the par 5 is a lot longer and has bunkers down the left side now.

Thanks for the info.

They closed the middle tee on #9, but I played from it anyway. I thought something was going on on 9.

I noticed they took the fence down on the right side on 14, but that really has no bearing on the hole.

they will not play 7 at 530 yards as a par 4... not when 4 the par 5 is only 517... I realize 7 is a dogleg right... but the USGA is not that stupid... unless they have something planned for number 4...

I can't remember - in the US Open - what did the players/longer hitters do on hole #4? Did anyone carry the bunkers?

That's what I thought. Someone told me he saw Cabrera go into the bunkers during a practice round. It is ridiculously long to carry those bunkers from the backmost tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
