The Bryan Bros and Grant Horvat played the course right before the US Open and I was blown away at just how much harder it played in the Open vs when the Bros played it. Not even close in difficulty.
Great rounds, been a minute since I’ve watched. Nothing against the boys just recovery mode. Watching golf hurts when you cannot play. That said, thanks for sharing boys. Wish I could join you coming up here but thanks for sharing this experience
That is sooooo Awesome...Great play by both of you! Loved the fact yhat you commented on how it sorta feels playing with the grandstands up...giving that special feeling of playing inside the ropes...musta been real cool! Great vid...Always love the content...keep up the Great Golf! 🎉 😅 ❤
Question for you, Mike. Have you ever beaten Frank before? Just curious. Another great video, paisans! BTW, if you guys come back down, you have to play Pine Needles and or Mid Pines
Hey thanks, and yes you're right. It would have been way worse. But anyway you stretch it or shrink it, it doesn't change the difficulty of the green complexes.
230 par 3 is not unfair for the skilled golfer play them all the time. They are dicey and challenging sure but that’s what good golfers want a challenge
I'm guessing that Wyndham's estimate of 95-100 for a 10-handicap was based on playing the back (US Open) tees at 76.5/138 (7588 yards) but it looks like you played 2 tees up on the whites which is 70.6/126 (6307 yards). Still, it's far from an easy course, especially if you haven't played it before.
Stop putting your weight so forward on your green side bunker shots. Keep weight 50/50 so you don’t de-loft your wedge. You want as much loft as you can get out of them, so you are just handicapping yourself with leaning forward.
Oh, we’re definitely shortening the course with the tees we’re playing from. But it honestly doesn’t matter - you could probably start in the middle of the fairway and still struggle. It’s all about the greens and navigating the tough green complexes

Another great video guys! Beautiful course, looking forward to the Open! Hope to see you in Pittsburgh next year!
We’re looking forward to that too.

I think I shot 2 strokes better than him in the last video. Pinehurst 10. Sometimes I do! - Cheers
90 is good from those tees. Imagine going back 60 yards or more. 230 yard par 3 is unfair.
Yeah…we’ll leave that for the pros 😆😆

I wanted it Gary! - M

Our local town course has a 230 yard par 3. Worst hole in golf.
For recreational golfers it's a par 4

Agree. Yes they moved us up for the media day but I’m sure 100-105 would have been in the cards from the tips.
Wyndham seems like a great guy!
It was awesome meeting him. He took the time to stop and answer everyone's questions. Definitely rooting for him to play well this week!

What an experience. What's your handicap?
10.5 down from 11.2 after last adjustment! The 85 on Pinehurst 10 helped
@@Golficity That's awesome. I am so jealous. How did you even get that chance? lol
These guys just are t very good, that’s all there is to it.
It was an 11 on the par 4 8th. Terrible fact checking as usual….🙄

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think your playing about 120-150 yrds short on each hole compared to the open course 🤷🏻♂️
