Event and Course Notes

We have a new course on tap this week and it’s in Utah (not my neck of the woods, but I am still excited)
I played this course in the spring but can’t offer much of a breakdown other than where not to hit it (the rocks)
The course is beautiful and perfectly manicured, you also get unlimited snacks with your green fee
The fairways, greens, and rough are all bentgrass
There’s twice the amount of acres of fairway than there is of rough
If golfers are too far offline, they will find themselves in the lava rock
We don’t know exactly how the course is going to play, but good drivers of the ball should be able to take advantage of the three par fives and two short par fours (322 and 320 yards)
Since we don’t have a strong course fit, I’m focusing on recent form, tee-to-green play, and bentgrass putting

What to Look For

Strokes gained tee to green
Strokes gained putting (emphasis on bentgrass)
Bogey avoidance
Recent form
