I'm playing TPC Sawgrass in December.  Thoughts?  Tips?  I heard rounds there last up to 6 hours.  Can't be true, can it?


Good for you!

I've played it twice, and best I can recall, neither round was much over 4 hours, certainly not 4:30.  Both times were summer rounds though which is off season, so ymmv...

It's not a horribly hard course, except for when they're setting it up for the pros, if you play the right tees.  We played the Blues at about 6500 yards, and that was a good choice for us...all 4-7 hcps.  I wouldn't be at all ashamed to play the Whites at just under 6000 yards if you're not all solid single digit hcps...  A good part of the challenge comes on the greens.  My first round I 4 putted the first hole from about 25 feet!  :doh:

One other recommendation.  Any time I play a course that the pros play, I buy a yardage book and mark every shot I made on each hole.  Then, each year when I'm watching the pros on tv, I can pull it out and follow along, remembering my own play as I watch theirs.

Have fun, and take a deep breath before your tee shot on 17.  It really isn't that tough.  Just keep telling yourself that....  ;-)
