They didn't expect the wind to la down. Increase the wind to 15 mph and you won't get a 66, 5 mph more and 68 is the low score. If they were to make pin placement to hard based on zero wind and it picks up, guys will complain... Tough balance they have to pull off each week.

Yeah I understand the wind part....but the forecast yesterday called for no wind, so they should have been expecting it, and yet they used some pretty benign pins and didn't use all the back tees. I was really surprised. But players should demolish the course again today, and then tomorrow we'll see it play tough again with the wind forecast to blow pretty hard.


TV coverage onTNT was so enjoyable this morning when they kept cutting to someone hitting a shot or putting. Now we get the incessant ads, driving range cam, and other filler. Bleah.

Yeah I was thinking this as well.

It wasn't an insult. I have a huge amount of Mormon friends and Mormons do a ton of missionary work in the islands. Many Mormons have a lot of children at a very young age. There is nothing insensitive about that. Ask any Mormon you know and they will say the same thing. Having big families and getting married at a very young age is encouraged.

Bounced around on the mini-tours for a while.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
