Beerabelli and I played there about 10 years ago. Caddie bet us all on first tee there'd be at least one four putt in our group. On #2 our buddy was 30 feet above the hole. putted it into the bunker. I think he made 8 from being on in two. LOLSeminole looks like an amazingly hard course as much as it looks good as well. Those greens are like putting on concrete and everything runs away from the hole.
I think the way they lengthened this out for them makes it harder too. There's certainly not much penalty for being wayward off the tees, but the greens make up for that.Beerabelli and I played there about 10 years ago.

Here's the thing, I cannot remember much about any of these holes. And we were sober, unlike our rounds at Sawgrass and Dye Preserve. The greens were hard and you had tiny landing areas on greens or else it was a mess. But tee to green I didn't think it was that challenging. but it wasn't windy day we played (March), either
Yeah. Fowler lives in JupiterDo all of these guys live near Seminole?
Ton of pros live down in that area.Do all of these guys live near Seminole?
Thats what twitter said so it has to be true.You sure? He was in his pocket on 13
Yeah I figured that. Lots of athletes do. I didn't know if any of them had to travel to the area to play.Ton of pros live down in that area.
If the announcers actually shut up for a minute.Next weekend's match will surely feature better smack talk
I thought the most interesting thing they said about Seminole yesterday was that there was no breakfast and no dinner and everyone has to be off the premises by like 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. every day. It is a golf club, and pretty much nothing else. I don't know if I'd enjoy that. The most enjoyable part of being a member of a club, IMO, is hanging with other members/friends before/after a round, having drinks, talking shit, etc. I guess I'm not surprised that all of my friends that live down there in the winter are members at PGA National, Dye, Old Marsh, etc. instead of Seminole.Funny they keep talking about how fast they are playing, and how seminole is all about speed play, just said something on how they are pushing members to be around in 3:30. Yet this is heading for about a 4:30 round
The No Laying Up guys were joking (on today's podcast) that Seminole kicking Rory/DJ et al. off the course at 6 p.m. would have been the golfiest thing ever.I thought the most interesting thing they said about Seminole yesterday was that there was no breakfast and no dinner and everyone has to be off the premises by like 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. every day.

It's on a flat property but looks to have uneven lies all over the place, especially around greens. Lots of doglegs, waste areas, bunkers, out of bounds, and water features too. Seems like the type of course you can put up a big number on and walk away wondering how you did it... basically, a Ross course.At least one of the NLU guys said he was a bit underwhelmed by the course at Seminole...and I can sort of see where he was coming from. For the most part, it didn't seem like a particularly interesting course from tee to fairway - very open, mostly flat - and there were a few green complexes that I'll just say were maybe a bit too subtle to come across well on TV. I mean, I have few doubts that it's the best course in southern Florida, but while I really enjoyed watching it, I wasn't bedazzled by it to the point that it's now on my list of the 20 courses I haven't played yet in the US that I'm dying to play. Mind you, I did wind up fast-forwarding between shots for a lot of the broadcast, having watched it mostly on tape delay, so even though I was trying to focus on the course as much as the golf, maybe I missed some of the architectural substance? (I'm sure the course is also much more interesting when it's playing firmer and faster than it was yesterday; that was not the ideal setting to show off the best of what makes Seminole great.)
If we were living in a simulation, and the evidence suggests we are, pouring rain in Florida today, a day after Donald Trump took a sojourn to golf while we crossed 100k dead in Covid, is exactly what you would expect to happen.Pouring in S Florida. Mother*****. 2020 just sucks every which way. Toying with us.
It's hard to tell if we're living in a tragedy or a farce. Oh wait, wrong Hobbes.If we were living in a simulation, and the evidence suggests we are, pouring rain in Florida today, a day after Donald Trump took a sojourn to golf while we crossed 100k dead in Covid, is exactly what you would expect to happen.
Fuck. Hobbes was wrong, there is no free will.
No idea, but if it wasn’t, they aren’t playing today. Torrential rains in the area now.saw on twitter that the match today was taped yesterday. anyone know for sure?
It was not taped. It’s live. There’s like 100 wagers you can make on it.saw on twitter that the match today was taped yesterday. anyone know for sure?
