it's in immaculate condition for sure Archived Message Posted by John Coctostan on May 15, 2025, 11:11:31, in reply to "It's a great course and I'm continually surprised at the hate it gets" i think for me it's just so bomb and gouge traditionally. drive it long mostly straight and you'll win. so many areas where missed shots don't get truly penalized that said, it seems to be playing a bit tougher and different so far today. interesting to see where we go Message Thread: | This response ↓ PGA Championship - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 8:39:07 Scottie career majors o/u - 7.5* - John Coctostan May 18, 2025, 22:39:21 Really good line.

Course looks like it has some nice character holes. Dunno what the whining… - uofi1998 May 16, 2025, 8:07:57 I think 18 is a dumb hole. Agree with the post below about 14-17* - GMAW May 16, 2025, 8:11:40 Because of the meandering creek? I am not a fan of tricked up courses either… - uofi1998 May 16, 2025, 8:16:02 Yes. Holes with arbitrary penalty areas in the middle of the fairway are dumb* - GMAW May 16, 2025, 8:31:01 No argument there. - uofi1998 May 16, 2025, 8:32:10 100p* - GMAW May 16, 2025, 8:59:15 Plus I like that you have gettable holes in 14-15 before the hellscape finish* - uofi1998 May 16, 2025, 8:11:25 Rough finish for campbell* - Mrap24 May 15, 2025, 19:01:15 Better today, will make the cut * - jdl May 16, 2025, 13:50:21 Lots of hole outs and chip ins - jdl May 15, 2025, 17:38:29 wildly goofy first page of the leaderboard* - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 11:08:02 Very international* - CoronaTheirAss May 15, 2025, 11:41:30 It's a great course and I'm continually surprised at the hate it gets - GrandmotherPearlsJam May 15, 2025, 10:59:43 I think it's pretty lame that it's an every year tour stop. Take the majors to different courses - gvibes May 15, 2025, 13:07:16 That’s valid. Pebble should be the only exception. * - uofi1998 May 16, 2025, 8:09:22 The problem of having the PGA in May is it eliminates a lot of upper Midwest and northeast courses - bucktownillini May 15, 2025, 19:28:35 Yeah this is the reason for much of the "hate" - jdl May 15, 2025, 13:55:38 it's in immaculate condition for sure - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 11:11:31 Nit, if you hit it long and straight, you'll win pretty much anywhere, so it's not a great criticism - GrandmotherPearlsJam May 15, 2025, 11:18:57 Stuff like this is part of the bad rap - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 11:53:43 Read an article that said the pros think the course has no soul. - Illiniphil May 15, 2025, 11:05:07 I’m at Quail Hollow today. First time seeing it in person. - Ron McDon May 15, 2025, 12:03:02 In other words, it's not a snobby traditional course, and therefore nobody likes it. - uofi1998 May 15, 2025, 11:24:33 No, Hunter Mahan said he thinks the course has no soul and then said "others" he knew - GrandmotherPearlsJam May 15, 2025, 11:08:47 If Hunter Mahan says Fuck Quail Hollow, then Quail Hollow is fucked... - uofi1998 May 15, 2025, 11:26:57 sure but that was an all time good quote* - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 11:35:53 OK, Mrs. Quail Hollow. :-) - Illiniphil May 15, 2025, 11:26:15 top 3 in the world just played 16 in 6 over* - John Coctostan May 15, 2025, 9:31:52 One word too many* - HamptonSki May 15, 2025, 9:59:47   Searching
