Decided to play it from about 6,500 yards, which really plays about 200 yards longer since half the holes are directly into the wind. Was poised to break 80 but had some tough luck on 15, 17, and 18 and doubled all three holes, but should have eagled 16 (missed about a 6-footer on that hole). I'll take 82 any day of the week on that course, though. And whoever said it was right, 16/17/18 are a pretty awesome stretch of closing holes.
They had the rough at 2.5 inches for their "dry run"/competition going on this week (they said it is normally at about 1 inch, and some lies in there made it impossible to hit anything other than wedge out), and all the PGA markers out for where it will play 7,600 yards. I still have no idea how they are going to fit 25,000 spectators out there, nor how all those cars will get in on that one lane road each day. But I'm looking forward to going back to watch next year.
And the best part was, for all you Big Break fans (I didn't start watching until recently so I had no idea at the time), but my caddie was KMax from the Big Break Disney season! Really nice guy.
