This isn't golf in my opinion, golf courses should reward good shots not punish them

Remember Tiger saying once, are we going to build courses to play golf, or are we going to build courses to see how many trick shots we can make!! That’s Pinehursr this week!!

Absolutely, I was just about to make the same comment.

I played recently in Georgia and I come from very slow greens in Germany. I can tell you if you are not used to play greens around 11 to 12 on a STM, you will pick up the ball and walk to the next tee box. Its pointless because the ball will not stop.

Absolutely love this. This course is for world class players to just to brake par and Absolutely punished for even those slightly bad shots.

Not only do great shots have ratings, but failed shots also have ratings, if not more.

How you keep your sanity when stuff like that happens is beyond me.

Too much spin😂

choosing a club with that much back-spin on that hole is a no no 😅

A good player can take spin off a ball.

@@sandersson2813 True, but they didn’t choose to do that either by the look of it. Hitting a lower lofted club that has potential for some roll out might have held up on the slope better IMO

@@omigod1186 They're not robots, they hit perfectly good shots, they just didn't hold on the green. You cant expect a pro to hit a good shot every time, in fact most of the time a pro only hits around 65-70% of greens. Hitting a lower lofted club might not have rolled up enough either and could have rolled back down . It's a case of if's and but's and is rather Captain Hindsight. All manner of shots might have worked, but also could just as easily have failed. It is good to see though from the usual boring target US golf.

@@sandersson2813 It’s not about hindsight, it’s about foresight. If I hit very spinny approach shots, you need to do everything on that hole to avoid spin. You said it yourself in your initial reply “good players can control spin”.

@@omigod1186 You're not getting it, having less loft doesn't mean you can't still hit a shot short and have it roll back off. The level of accuracy required at this level to stop it running off the green is insane, just choosing a club that will naturally impart lower spin does not remotely mean you'll get a better outcome. He could play just as good a shot and end up with the same outcome. Yes, being able to adapt spin is a skill, but these guys don't have a crystal ball as to how the ball will react on each and every shot and to each and every square foot of green. Golf is simply about hitting the ball where you want it, applying what influence you can but accepting where the ball ends up. Pro's are not so consistent they can accurately predict what spin is required to stop a ball in all situations, if it was it would be so easy.

Remember though, they need to roll the ball back because golf is too easy

Well the recent PGA championship was the lowest scoring major in history so they might have a point, club tech is also a reason for that though along with the ball

This is one of the only courses in the world that can defend itself against modern pros when the wind isn't blowing. Par is an expected score on a hole/course, it loses all meaning when everyone in the field can beat it. The golf ball and equipment both need rolling back for the sake of the professional game, the PGA championship was unwatchable

As someone else commented, this course is unique when the US open is played there. There arent many courses in the world like this. Most courses are built to be a challenge to the general amateur (who week in week out support the course with their $$$), not elite pros visiting once a year or less, who hit the ball 300+.

@sandersson2813 3 ай бұрын

They don't need to roll it back. People are long hitters because of the massive increase in shaft technology combined with swing speed. If you roll the ball back you still have longer hitters and shorter hitters.

@@sandersson2813 pretty sure the USGA have also stated that they're going to make a change to driver heads and other equipment. Rolling back the ball is the quickest fix to a problem that should've been addressed 10/15 years ago. Modern balls you can just whale on and they go miles cause they don't spin. Back in the day hitting it far was a skill because you'd to swing fast and reduce the spin you put on the ball. Now you just have to practice swinging as hard as you can for a few months on a trackman and hey presto an extra 20-30 yards carry
