This thread made me wish I played courses that had over sized cups. Of course that wouldn’t help my shitty drive, horrible long irons or fear of going in sand traps.It’s the reason why pro’s don’t really come here any more. Guys like you with knowledge leave because jack off’s who covered their table in the basement and ran a few racks on it think they’re master table mechanics and world champions. I mostly come here for the comedy these days. Then I head to the golf course to be around people who don’t care what equipment you use… don’t think they know everything about the game because they got a birdie once and enjoy playing And don’t think that unless you gamble every penny you have on a game you’ll never be good at it.
I played a couple of courses at Pinehurst two weeks ago and the set ups couldn’t have been different, much like a “pro” table and a bar box. Pinehurst #5 was a beautiful course but the set up and the greens were much like I’m used to playing. Of course it helped that I played one of my best rounds ever. #8 is a totally different story, like night and day different. It’s more like #2 where if you land the ball at the pin it will roll off the green. #8 is way more challenging with only a few subtle changes to the layout and greens and more of a pro setup. I wouldn’t want to play #8 all the time, at least not at my skill level, but I expect the pro’s to be playing those courses. It’s no different with pool.
