Bethpage Black, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, TPC Tampa Bay, Innisbrook Copperhead, not to mention the Water Gap Country Club which held the Eastern Open from 1926 to 1928! But as someone noted above, these courses are in NO WAY similar to what the pros play when those events are held there. Fairways are half as wide, rough twice as deep and greens twice as fast. And tee boxes are as much as 100 yds further back. I've shot 80 at Black, 74 at TPC, 82 at Pebble and Spyglass, and a 76 at Copperhead. Put it into "tour" shape and there isn't a chance I'd shoot those numbers. Oh, and as for the Water Gap CC, I shot a 77:-D

We played the TPC Woodlands in Texas the day after the big Shell Open tournament (I know this was several years ago) but it was great. Very hard and our scores were awful. The "rough" is actually rough compared to some local courses. Need to stay in the fairway on a TPC course.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
