Had the pleasure of playing Oakmont earlier this week. Wow.
No breather holes. No breather shots.
A few images for addicts like me.
#9 with the clubhouse behind.
Behind #18
The big putting green.
The downhill 12th. A truly great hole.
#11 from the left side.
#17. My favorite hole. Carry oblivion to get the right angle. Play safe right and hit over a big bunker to a sliver of a green. Perfect.
#18 from left of the 17th green. What can one say?
#2 Plenty of options. Plenty of danger.
#5 Small undulating green. Precision is required.
#6 Sets into the land nicely.
#8 A 100 yard long bunker on a long par 3.
#9 A 4 iron away from glory, or a 3 putt if you are me.
