Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2248339, member: 489"] Good stuff, really enjoyed the red. As for golf, you being a golf guy - ouch! A history laden course like Oak Hill West, home to many Grand Slams like the PGA (Shaun Micheel 2003 with the 7 iron to 2 feet on 18, 2013 Dufner PGA and another coming in 2023), US Opens (Midlecoff and Nicklaus wins) and Ryder Cup - well anyway playing this course from near the black tees, the blues are 6700 which we played you really get a feel on how damn good these guys are. I mean this is as demanding a Ross course that I ever played although traditional. I mean every hole is tree lined but the fairways and space between the fairways and trees are ample enough. But between the rough and the approach to bunker laden surroundings as well as greens being on hills 70% of the time, it plays even longer. I knew on #1 when I saw the tee marker in stone at 433 and I striped my absolute best, still had 178 in I was like wow I thought I hit it a little better, then looked at the approach which with the bunkers staring at me made the 178 look 195, I knew I was in for a dogfight. Well the course wan't in for much of a fight as I bowed out gracefully after 18 and was so happy it was over. No matter, I'd play it again it was just fin being out there on such history. [/QUOTE]
