@LinksGems 8th/16th shared green at Kingston Heath

Interesting request/question from the gallery tonight; giant greens. When I think “huge green,” these are four that come to mind: - the 9th at Oakmont - the 5th/13th at the Old Course at St. Andrews - the floating 14th at Coeur d’Alene - the 5th at Old Macdonald Full disclosure: I neither measured these myself nor looked up their specs, so I am sure there are bigger greens out there. Anyone have any favorite giant greens?

The Australian - 1931. Not a tree or pond to be seen…

@MattMollica Put NGLA in that category too Matt

Great to see the old 15th at Portsea back as the 19th hole! Great short uphill par 3. @mikeclaytongolf any idea how long this has been back?

@TalkBirdie_ToMe @nickohern @MarkAllenGolf @PGATOUR @PGATOURComms please give us the old American feed back in Australia. Nobody wants the international feed and the commentary that come with it.

Well the #pgatour may have badly misread the room on this one. Looks like the international feed is here to stay according to the boss of international media Kate Sharp. @nickohern and @MarkAllenGolf give their, less than positive, verdict here: rb.gy/qu626n

@Lachie_McD A bit like this one on the Lake at Olympic

@tylerjohnson_59 These look great Tyler. Do you ship to Australia?

Here is the hardest worker I know. My dad. Went to college for year and then dropped out. Tried out for Iowa men’s golf team but didn’t make it. Went back home and worked at the family car dealership business in small town Iowa until he was 42. Left the business to be the superintendent at a rural 9 hole golf course. Currently works 2nd shift in a warehouse. He’s 64. Not sure when retirement will be for him. On release days, he helps me package and ship the toddler bags. The goal is to make him the first employee. Need to make it happen.

@VC606 Zac Blair?

@mikeclaytongolf @Evansgolf1John Right of 9 at KH?

@Evansgolf1John Peter Thomson called ti-tree a “creeping weed” There are places on the sandbelt where it’s strategically important - right of KH 16, through the fairway at RM 17 - but it’s a very overrated hazard.

⁦@mikeclaytongolf⁩ Was correct!

@mikeclaytongolf @sbrittonturf @RyanNoades Looks even better now with the heathland vegetation covering the tee carry

@sbrittonturf @RyanNoades Not unlike Kingston Heath 3.

@ukgolfguy @OCMGolf What’s on the schedule?

A lovely afternoon on Peninsula Kingswood’s North course. It had so many of the ingredients I love in a golf course - sensible length par 3s, a healthy smattering of short par 4s, sensational bunkering with strategic questions asked in abundance. Just great work from @OCMGolf.

A game changer in racing form has arrived🤯! Introducing The Live Yard – the ultimate confirmation tool 🔎.

@MarkAllenGolf @AusGolfPassport @Barnbougle Also quite penal when your ball lands on the green and spins back into the rough protecting the bunker.

@AusGolfPassport @Barnbougle Last and latest picture looks best. The “trend” of rough edges bunkers never looked good… ever. Just my opinion.

It’s under-recognised just how much golf courses change as the years pass just from the effects of weather & play. @barnbougle Dunes 7th pictured here in 2004, 2011 & 2017. Check out this week’s episode for an hour of chat about our favourite Aussie golf getaway. Link in bio.

Walter Travis. So much fun and genius routing on a very flat piece of ground.
