Opens out there, kind of returning to Shinnecock in the 80s and then reminding itself how good this place is and how tough it is.
And Big Cat, it's an interesting golf course because...
I think average golfers think about difficulty and they think about water or out of bounds, things like that.
I mean, that's not really Shinnecock.
Sure, the rough is really high and the hay is going to be high.
It's a golf course that you theoretically could not lose a golf ball on and shoot your highest score.
The fairways are bigger this year than it was back in 2018 when Koepka won.
But all those fairways are minimized because of the angles off the tees and really where you want to hit those tee shots.
You want to be on the left side of the fairway to a right hole location, things like that.
But really, it's just everything.
It's the triangular shapes of kind of these conceptual small courses, if you will, like three, four hole stretches within Shinnecock where you're playing all different types of wind directions within the three hole stretch.
It's just the perfect golf course for championship golf, and I think people are going to walk away this week considering the forecast, understanding that this is as tough as it gets in terms of pro golf.
Yeah, I mean, the interesting thing about that, PFT, is the fact that there are rumors that the greens aren't going to be as fast this week than what we typically see at a U.S.
Open because of those expected wins.
I'll get into that in a bit when I do my five things to focus on at Shinnecock.
I mean, the wind, when you play really fast greens, PFT.
the you have to hit putts softly that the winds end up taking those balls so you've got an eight footer that's a cup and a half out left and the wind's blowing left to right now all of a sudden you're playing three cups out because as it's dying the wind is affecting the golf ball i mean you're gonna see guys miss putts by a wide margin you're gonna see guys putt off greens this week like all of those things are in play because when it's blowing 25 30 miles per hour
on these greens.
And to Big Cat's point, there's no defense out there.
It's basically like being on a boat in the Long Island Sound right now.
