We are here at the Black Locust course. You guys requested it after watching my Tobagen practice round. This is, in my opinion, the more difficult of the two courses. This is the wooded version basically. So, we're going to be starting here for round one and playing it for round three as well. I've thrown through the course one time and I played the front nine yesterday. So, I think I know what I'm doing about. I'm going to show you guys how to play these holes and what I'm thinking. Let's get into it. Hole one is 463 super tight OB left and right. So, I think I'm just going to throw a layup side. I'm going to start my tournament. Kind of boring, but that way I don't start off with a bogey. So, this will be my tournament play. That one should be right in the middle. Yep. I'm going to throw one aggressive shot. This is my flippy PD. We're going to see if I can kind of get up in there for a putt. But this hole's so difficult that you just don't want to start off with a bogey. See with how good that shot was. Still out of bounds. Oh, rolled back in bounds. But that's why I don't think I'm going to go for it. I think it's too risky. So, I'm just going to probably pitch up and take my par. All right, walking up to my forehand layup. It's in a great spot. I'm okay with this. You see how tight the OB is left and right. So, I'm just going to pitch up. Jump putt with a PD cuz why not? And uh that's an easy par. I think this hole is going to be scoring extremely overpar. Maybe if it was in the middle of the course, I think people would be going for it. But with it being the first hole, World Championships, I think a lot of people aren't just going to want to tack a bogey on their scorecard for no reason. So I really would like to see this hole change. Maybe take away one of the OB's on the left or the right because I think it's a cool shot, but I don't think enough people are going to go for it to make it that exciting. All right, tapping in.
