Beautiful. Cool to read the little notes by Pete. If you just read his notes you would never imagine that he was talking about a course that got voted America's toughest!

Having spent 4 days on the course back in November, I can tell you that some of the tee balls these guys will be looking at are crazy. We'll see how they set it up. Like at Whistling Straits, there are the tee boxes they have on the ground for media day that make it look impossible, and then there are the tee boxes they use on tournament day when the winds are up.

When you turn back towards the clubhouse on 14, if the wind is in your face, your heart just sinks knowing what you have in front of you - starting with a 200 yard par 3 to a table-top green that at least 1 guy will putt off of. And that is the easy hole! If it's one of those rounds where you are not hitting the center of the club, you have a lot of golf left...

Cheers,
Matt
