You always hear how difficult it is. But how hard is it really? What would you rate its difficulty on a scale of 1-100, 100 being hardest. 90? Higher?

Depends on the tees you play and what your strengths and weaknesses are. I don't think it was harder than Oakland Hills and it wasn't anywhere near as hard as Oakmont. 85, maybe?

    • I went up to Erie today for a lesson.  In general, above with keeping things shorter is always good.  For the irons, a bit more anti- revving motion with the wrists in the downswing. Right palm facing down more a A6. Basically? I was getting the club to the ball in a meh way. Adding this rev and turn makes it easier to swing out and not have to worry about trying to square the club face. My current pattern was a lot of times rolling the wrists over. Drill. Take club to top. Pause. Bring club down to A6 with wrist in good position. Feel like I do not move arms or hands at all. Pivot and hit ball. I should hit big push overdraws since the club is way closed and I am swinging way out here due to the exaggeration. I do not need much of this. I was overdoing it on full swings, which is good.  For the driver, this is the one that is wonky. I do way too much shallowing with the body, dipping backwards. I have to feel like my back faces the target longer, and I sway very vertical in the downswing. What feels like I am hitting down 5 degrees would produce like up 2-3. What felt like I swing left 5 degrees is like n zero swing path. I have to feel like I leave the clubface 20 degrees open. It feels like I’m going to hit the ball with the back of the heel and it produced like a 10 yard push. 🤣 It’s opposite of when I need to do with my irons in doing a bit of anti-revving.   
    • I'm on the bench these days playing-wise, so I've watched a good bit of this.  I really like the look of the course, the false fronts, cross bunkers, green slopes, etc.  It looks a solid challenge without being quite as punishing as Pinehurst was for the younger fellas.
    • Kinda a funny/interesting premise.
