NCAA at Prairie Dunes
« on: May 26, 2014, 09:55:38 AM »
Golf Channel will be televising some great golf these next three days. This afternoon you can watch the fight for one of the eight team match play spots with Match Play for the championship on Tuesday (quarters and semis) and Finals on Wednesday. Great course and great kids should make for fun viewing starting today

I just had the wonderful opportunity to play there last month. I am really looking forward to seeing the course on tv.

Unfortunate luck with the weather this week. Rain and no wind thus far. 6 delays in 3 days. Seems to be windy all the time there unless hosting a big tournament... :(

Charley Rhymer is very enthusiastic  and other commentators filling in nicely regarding golf course.

Have come to know Patrick Rodgers and his famliy over the years.

Watched him at Western Collegiate at Pasatiempo and he was masterful playing his ball to this second shot golf course. I expect you will see him exercise the same course management and execution today

It's great to see PD on television. The greens will test these kids even if the length won't.

As a midwesterner i've always been enamored by Prairie Dunes. After watching this tournament it borderlines on infatuation. I need to make thst 6 hour drive soon. I'm amazed at how good the conditioning is after the winter we had

As you know, it will teach them something about length....

What's wrong with pushcarts?  Easy to use, good for the back...

Nothing wrong with them per se, but not sure whether it's the move for tournament play. But you are right about it being easy on the back.

Not sure whether it's the move for tournament play.

Do you think it makes any difference (positive or negative)?  Physically, strategically?  I don't have a strong view, as I have never played competitive golf, but whatever they are doing seems to be working.

It's definitely easier on your back and shoulders, particularly if the course is a tough walk. If they can't use caddies, I'm actually surprised they can use pushcarts in competition.

I will be shocked if other teams don't suddenly show up with them. Wednesday is hot and humid...

Collegiate golf brought us the stand bag.  Maybe they'll popularize the push cart for tournament play?

It would be great if the pro's could save the ten percent to the caddie in exchange for a push cart and calling their own distances.
