Starts for the pros in 2028 and for everyone else in 2030. I expect balls like the prov1 will be updated to the new ball in 2028/29 and they move to a non-bifurcated ball by then. Makes no sense for the USGA for the amateur level, especially the non-elite. The USGA has been campaigning "tee it...

Yes, it's an enjoyable track. Can be a beast of a course if you want, the orange tees (2up from the tips) is still 6800 yards. I think they are about to reopen after they accidentally killed several of their greens months ago, so should be in prime condition....

It's up to the course to create an official combination then have the USGA review it. At our course, we have 4 official tees plus 6 combinations. All are rated and can be posted in GHIN. ...

re: Breaking 90

Posted by GeauxTigersLee on 6/30/23 at 7:11 am

Sounds boring, but stop trying to make birdie or par on every hole. Bogey on every hole is a 90, so eliminate doubles. Keep the ball in play. Play away from pins, do not short side yourself. If you get in trouble, take the shot you can pull of 8 of 10 times. Breaking 80 isn't making birdies ei...
