.....the Plantation at Kapalua?

Good to watch.
The usual comments "you can't run it on Bermuda"
nonsense.

Steve Stricker hit an open face trap SW that stopped short and they made that comment.
How about a 7,8,or 9 iron struck with less spin to get it to chase a bit?

Play a few winter rounds on dorant bermuda or from mole cricket damaged turf and you figure it out real quick.
Even works on soft bermuda if you get a bit of hook on it

The westerly slope is steep enough that the ball might even run on kikuyu.

Are we starting 2012 with ellipses? Annoying feature. I'm going to read the post regardless, so no need for the suspense.

[Mark Saltzman]

What about during regular conditions for the resort guests when the fairways and greens aren't shaved the way they are for the tournament - does it still roll like that? It's great to watch and one of the best tournaments of the year. Such a shame it gets shunned by the bigger names.

Brian, I've only been once so can only speak to the conditions on the two days I played it... NO!!

I was so excited to hit my 350 yard drive on 18... didn't happen

I would say Augusta.
Kapalua runs so much because the land is so severe.  It is a unique course on a site most would not design a course.

Jackson,
My first thought too

Other than attempts to reach par fives I don't see many shots played on the ground.

The title of the thread is true because there is no ground game on the PGA Tour, not because the Plantation course seems to demand much of one.

Is The Masters considered to be part of the PGA tour?

That said, I was thinking of Augusta when I saw this question as well.

how may pros regularly use the ground game, regardless of course?

[Terry Lavin]

The ground at Kapalua is easily the wildest I've ever played. From the crazy runouts on some of the fairways to the grainy greens to the counterintuitive reads one gets on the greens, I constantly feel vexed by the ground there. Love it, but it's hard to figure out sometimes.
