Plus which the landing areas for most drives will run out if your not able to shape your shots and turn the ball. Very hard course if you want to score. The par 3's give you about an 8' circle to hit otherwise your begging for a bogie. I quit counting at the turn. Not very fun. No one in my foursome broke 80, one guy broke his putter on a tree. If you like 70 footers with triple breaks your right at home here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-15588212318023274892012-03-01T20:00:09.796-05:002012-03-01T20:00:09.796-05:00Whistling Straits,that's the one that seems mo...Whistling Straits,that's the one that seems most terrifying to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-15572903138564489552012-03-01T09:22:14.609-05:002012-03-01T09:22:14.609-05:00Being a links-style course, the wind can definitel...Being a links-style course, the wind can definitely be a major factor at Whistling Straits.

My guess is Oakmont is pretty steady up there, while Whistling Straits might be a bit easier on a soft day but virtually unplayable when it's howling.Fixing Divotshttp://www.fixingdivots.comnoreply@blogger.com
