Decades ago in a State Open. It's rather difficult.Has anyone golfed there?
I am watching it via streaming on Peacock channel. Such a hard course I love watching the best get challenged and not have the winner -15USA Network Live now. Golf course looks great. Would look even better w/ a few more trees, but I digress.

Rory off to a great start. Eric Cole off to a good start.
The leader is now at -4. To me thats somewhat surprising. Thought the course would be somewhat more difficult to score on.I am watching it via streaming on Peacock channel. Such a hard course I love watching the best get challenged and not have the winner -15
