Morning everyone,

PGA.com has the Tiger group in their featured online coverage and I just listened to Michael Breed talk about how at courses like Oak Hill, players should always be aware of the location of an elevated clubhouse.  As Tiger misjudged a putt on #10, he stated that Oak Hill's greens have some nuances-greens that look like they slope from back to front but face away from an elevated clubhouse actually still slope away from the player.  His reasoning is that courses from the early 20th century were built with rudimentary tools in terms of excavation such as horse and buggy and much of the natural slope of the property remains.

Has anyone experienced this?  Seems like a stretch to me...

Mike

Re: Early 20th century golf courses, clubhouse as an indicator of break?

Many courses place their clubhouse at the highest point on the golf course, the so-called "clubhouse-pull (or push) effect".
