Spent 7 hours out on Monroe's golf course during an LPGA practice round, this week. Mainly just looking at the course. Had played it several years ago, in a cart, and even with my good memory of golf courses, I could not retrace my steps there. But, I was anxious to get back out there and see it, especially after Gil Hanse had done his work there. Following the practice round, I spent another full day watching the second round of the LPGA Championship. I agree with those who say that Monroe's course has been underappreciated in the Rochester area. In my ranking of courses in our area, I had Monroe 4th or 5th, behind Oak Hill's two courses and CCR. I was blown away by the course. The wonderful terrain, the siting of greens, the distinctive character of each hole. I think it is the equal of Oak Hill's West course, which I've long considered the best golf course in the Rochester area. I appreciate learning about those greens that are not original Ross greens. Was not aware of that till reading this thread. However, I'm puzzled by the descriptions of #13. I watched several groups go through there yesterday and recognized, of course, that it was proving to be a tough challenge. For a time, I stood at the back of the green to watch players hitting shots out of the back greenside bunker, including Suzann Pettersen and Stacy Lewis. From my perspective, they were hitting onto a section of the green that was sloping away from them, and given the back left pin position, there was no way they could stop the ball within 10-12 feet past the pin.
