What's the best OPENING hole in golf you've played?

@stuck_n_a_bunk @grayfieldLLC Be sure to take the heads off any adjustable club. I put the driver and 3 wood shafts in a PVC tube about 2" in od, and Velcro the rest to the outside of the tube. It acts as an additional stiff arm. Heads go in the ball pocket in head covers with towels.

@grayfieldLLC Most airlines have switched to them not being responsible for damage if they are in a soft case. However a 5 gallon bucket with a couple pillows inside it over the top of the clubs usually works!
English
Anyone got any tips for flying with clubs? Travel bag recs, packing procedure, whatever yall can think of. Still deciding soft or hard case but need some opinions if yall got em!

@MyGolfSpy The bent shaft irons had an incredible feel. Didn't expect that until I held and swung them on the Ping Archives. I have a ping Scottsdale 69 with the bend under the grip too.

@DeTop100Courses Several years ago I evacuated HHI area for an impending hurricane to that fine city. I tried to inquire if I could play as I had some money for the green fee but couldn't find anybody around behind the gate. I guess it was their day off.

Was driving past yesterday so I had to stop and take a photo.
We can but dream !!

@Top100Rick Try not playing lift clean and place. If anyone wants to know the PGA Tour doesn't follow the USGA rules now. Abnormal course conditions doesn't happen every week, every tournament.

TPC Craig Ranch spent $25M on a full renovation. One of the goals was to challenge the pros more.
Si Woo shot 60 today 😂. -18 after two days. (This is his missed putt for 59.)
Guys when it rains and gets the course soft, there is nothing you can do.

my list is a little more spread out
Tony “Back Nine” Bozzi@b9bozzi
Over time I’ve compiled this list of all the places I want to play in the Carolinas. I feel like I’ve got all the big ones in each state on here? Feel free to help me add to it. The more I add, the more excuses I’ll have to visit there in the future.

Not sure of Graphite Design's choice to change the graphics The stripes are iconic & you know immediately that it is a GD Tour AD shaft This looks like most others with the color sequence of black/blue/red low/mid/high launch I know they had a lot of shafts but each was different

@NOTdaRealGil My first outside tournament was played there. 1971 WCGA (before it became WGA) Junior. I shot a spiffy 113. I was going to N/C until the member who drove me there asked if I counted each shot: yes. He told me it took no guts to N/C. I put my score in & have never N/C or W/D.

@chambleebrandel Floyd lost the Westchester Classic the week before with a horrible back 9. Went to Shinnecock mad and figured it out.
North East, MD 🇺🇸 English
Watching the 1986 US Open at Shinnecock, the game is hardly recognizable to the landscape of professional golf today. Everywhere you look there were homemade swings. Highly idiosyncratic moves like Floyd (who won) Trevino and Lanny Wadkins here, all with fierce belief in their games.
English
@b9bozzi For SC you should add Long Cove, Secession, Berkeley Hall and Palmetto Bluff

@TheGolfDivoTee Supposedly Hogan asked how did that guy get into the Masters after Arnies struggles in a practice round in 1958. Arnie heard it and it just made him madder to show Hogan up.
North East, MD 🇺🇸 English
A rare image of Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan whose relationship was ambivalent to say the least -
Arnie always felt frustrated because Hogan never called him by his name but instead used 'fella' or 'kid' and Hogan didn't appreciate Arnie's so-called 'flashy' swashbuckling and charismatic style.

Southampton NY isn’t the easiest place to get to so I might as well get this started early!

@SHistorians @alan_bastable I hope that someone did some serious mapping and research on the Travis design so that much like Lido they can restore it when sanity prevails.
Oxford, PA 🇺🇸 English
A must red article by @alan_bastable in Golf Mag on Fazio’s plan for East Potomac.
My take on Fazio’s comments regarding restoration:
What Fazio fails to recognize is that without those budgets and equipment that he “needs to build a golf course.” these architects of old, built better golf courses (objectively if you compare his courses to any rankings) than his.
It may be decades from now- but my guess years from - now golfers will tear apart Fazio’s design at East Potomac and restore Walter Travis’ work. We are just delaying the inevitable.
This isn’t to disparage his work, but rather roll back his ego a bit.
Alan Bastable@alan_bastable
Spoke to Tom Fazio this week about Trump’s D.C. muni project. At first, Fazio didn’t want the job, fearing the “aggravation” of all the red tape. Then he saw the site and couldn’t resist. Here’s the scoop on his plan. golf.com/news/plan-pres…

@TeeTimesPub @Fully_Equipped Not quite the inventory all of the trucks that are on the PGA tour. When you look at each manufacturer you see how they store all of the inventory and supplies. It would take a caravan of trailers to match.
Oxford, PA 🇺🇸 English
A lot of “why would Brooks lie about this?” replies and honestly I have no idea.
The truck at LIV events has everything players would need, including new products for testing from every manufacturer.

@GolfLibrary He claimed he invented the belly putter. But his belly kept changing. One of the first to chart and make yardage books. Helped Jack on his short game. He was quite a character. Phil Rodgers.

@kawamura228 @TMontana_36 11 and 8 with the left green. This was taken back when you could get removed for taking photos. Luckily I was playing with the Mayor who gave me permission. Real film.
Oxford, PA 🇺🇸 English
@TMontana_36 Favorite hole was tied between Hole 16 and Hole 7. Epic forced carry tee shots and huge sculpted greens. Third I would give to four because the tee shot from the tips is one of the best in the world or 14 cause I love a par three over water.
