Nope-Do some reading.-Ball breaks doesnt even break half a cup on long putts on the grainiest of greens.[quote name="zipazoid" url="/t/36500/crandon-park-miami-fl#post_938759"] Don't you think that's obvious? Just enough to miss the putt if you don't take it into account.  [/quote]

Okay guys… Talk about the golf course itself, not grain please.

I was trying to!

Just saying - Crandon's greens are very grainy. I would strongly suggest you read that grain if you play it, for speed purposes...not so much for break purposes. Example, #8 is a short par-3, tabletop green. Grain runs consistent from the back of the green to the front. If you're past the hole good luck keeping the putt on the green. I dropped 10 balls there today & tried it.

Anyway, played it today. The course is relentless. There's no real let-up on it. A couple of holes are more 'breather' than the others, but it is just a real solid course. Can't fluke it around there.

Some pics of the course -

^^ 10th tee. Par 5 dogleg right. Bite off as much as you dare.

^^ Approach shot to 11. This is why I say it's a second-shot course.

^^ 12th green from the drop area (which I visit a lot). Tee is to the left. All carry to the green.

^^ Downtown Miami skyline from 18th fairway.

I was in late December and was going to play this gem. However, I tend to stay away from any course where caddies are mandatory. I don't understand why courses do that - it's such a turnoff.

I agree, especially since it's a public course. If you go off after 11am you don't have to take one.

I didn't know that, thanks. I do prefer playing in the morning though.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
