1157: Kicking off the PGA at Aronimink

Expect anything different?

I mean, I think a lot of it depends on the golf course.

A lot of it depends on the conditions.

1157: Kicking off the PGA at Aronimink

Because if you look at this golf course specifically, between it being soft and firm, I think it's two totally different tests.

1157: Kicking off the PGA at Aronimink

Like if you're looking at this golf course when it's soft, I think there's a lot of stuff you can kind of get away with in terms of like you can hit it pretty far offline.

1157: Kicking off the PGA at Aronimink

There's not many things to block you.

And if you hit it really far offline when there's no trees, you can just get to the crowd and then you have a cleaner lie than if you're a yard or two off the fairway.

And then with soft greens, you're able to play a pretty simple strategy of golf where you can kind of play that sort of bomb and gouge type strategy.

And that's probably what works best because we have greens that have a ton of pitch back to front and they're really soft.

It's also easier to take off spin when you're in the rough.

And so the reward for hitting the fairway is not that great.

But if you look at this golf course when it's firm,

the fairways are hard to hit, and then if you're going to want to get the ball close to a lot of these pins, you're going to have to be able to control your spin and control your distance really well, which is not that easy to do out of the rough.

It's easy to take off spin, but it's not easy to control the spin, if that makes sense, and so there's certain spots on this golf course where I think it can get really challenging if it's firm and fast, and a lot of it just depends on conditions and golf course setup.

If they decide to water the greens, it's going to be a completely different setup than it is if the greens are quite firm, so

A lot of it is golf course dependent.

1157: Kicking off the PGA at Aronimink

I wouldn't say it's necessarily major dependent, just because I think most golf courses are trying to make it as hard as possible these days.

For sure.
