What state is that in ?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I never got notified that I was quoted.

Oakland Hill is in Michigan. It's the site of this year's US Amateur.

Oakland Hills #15. There is a small pot bunker right in front of the green that the caddies call "The Devil's A$$hole". Excuse the language, but that's what they call it.

The Devil's Asshole (the famous one that most people know) is actually on the 10th hole of Pine Valley in New Jersey:

That is a much bigger *******. The one at Oakland Hills is very small. If you're in it, you will likely be standing outside with a funky stance to hit your ball, or you will have to play your shot away from the green to get out safely.

Ah, OK.  I couldn't find any pictures or info of it...I guess it's more of a local (caddy) thing, as you said.

Yeah. I think it's just what the caddies call it. Here is the overhead from Google Maps.

Wow...and it's in front of another bunker.  Another Donald Ross middle finger to the high handicapper...  ;-)

He gives the middle finger to low handicappers too. The pro's call this course The Monster. The greens are pretty treacherous. Kinda what you expect from a major venue though. I remember watching the Ryder Cup Matches there in '04. Lot's of fun.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
