So I'm sitting in my car with a buddy at 4am at Bethpage Black.

@kpaulhus, in your experience what makes it such a tough layout?

The length, and the rough. The greens are pretty easy and not super super fast. The rough is long, the tee to green is long in distance, and the greenside bunkering can be as much as 15 ft deep.

Play it in the summer...lol. 

I played it June 26th last year. Just need to make sure you get that early tee time or it could get hot quick.

@kpaulhus, have you played the other well known tough public course, Torrey Pines South.  If so, I assume you played from the back tees and I'm curious how you compare the two experiences.

My experience at Torrey South (from the white tees) is it can be anywhere from tough to extremely tough depending on how deep the have the rough cut.

Yeah. Its a hard walk if you're still out there mid day. By 13-14 you're feeling it pretty good. 

You're right about what makes the black tough. The greens there are pretty easy to putt. 3rd green has some weird breaks in it. But most of the length on that course is between 9-16, so If you can take advantage of 1-8 and 18 with some pars and a couple birdies you can squeeze a pretty decent round out of there.

I have not played in SoCal yet. I would like to make a trip over there next year.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
