The original Bushwood thread is overflowing like Craig Stadler's FUPA.
Use this thread to discuss tournaments, swing thoughts, equipment, and golf deals.
I thought we could also use the OP to create a WITB for ChiefsPlanet members. I'll list a poster's name and put their sticks in a spoiler tag, so you can see what everyone is carrying. [Reply]

It was in good shape, but my experience with most TPC courses is they get alot of play for being TPCs. Sawgrass was probably the best one I've played, but I think Southwind in Memphis is the toughest.
I've never played any in arizona, have heard good th8nk about Troon though
I didn't think Southwind was that difficult. It has its holes,#12 is touchy, but I drove about 2 hrs south of there in Alabama and played Turtle Point. That course if tough as nails and for March was in great shape. [Reply]

Played from the tips, at about 7400 yards and a par 71, it was pretty difficult. [Reply]

True I've only played two TPC courses. That one and Deere Run and it's the harder of the two. I have come to notice that almost all tpc course end with the same design. A par 4 dog leg left with water on the left. [Reply]

I'm not a huge fan of the TPC courses. They get so much play they're always a bit run down.

Pinehurst was just ridiculously difficult. You'd hit good shots and miss greens.
There's a course in Fayetteville called the blessings that's super tough too. [Reply]

Me too.
Played TPC at Summerlin near Las Vegas around 2000 and TPC Phoenix Open twice in 1999 and 2001
So I've got my club championship next weekend and a four ball 2 day tourney the weekend after.
To pat myself on the back a little, I've gotten my index back down to scratch this year. I've worked my ass off to so it, now I've gotta get shit together for the club champ. 2 days of stroke play, then match played out. Last year I lost in the semis to the eventual champ 2 and 1. I've gotta try and get the 1 seed to avoid him and the other betier player til the finals. Luckily, the dude that plays to a plus 4 at our club isn't gonna play this year due to other comments but we added a few other good players as new member this year, so we'll see. [Reply]

Try GD's Best in State. Hazeltine is only third (which isn't surprising, because I've heard pros say it's the worst course that is in a regular major rotation)
Played in South Carolina two weekends ago. Hot as fuck, but had a great time. Fucking airline (United) broke my Driver, 5-Wood and 6-iron. All Ping G-25's. Motherfuckers took ZERO responsibility. My ass was roasted talking to these dumbshits, but they just kept saying that they don't cover sports equip. I have been travelling over 25 years with Golf Clubs and never had an issue. Anyone have similar experiences, or better yet, have success filing a claim with the airline? [Reply]
