It's amazing to watch on TV, but mind-boggling in person. The way some of these guys drive the ball, it's like the ball is being launched from some kind of mechanical contraption, not hit by a human being.I'm late catching up on the DVR, but watching some of these guys drive the ball is just incredible.
It’s definitely not the same course. The layout is still iconic, but the wet conditions along with slower greens, no wind and the Bermuda making the lies easier around the greens has really taken the teeth out it. Probably going to end up with 10-15 guys double digits under par when it’s over.I always have looked forward to it starting off the "real" golf season. This just ain't the same gig this year. I have only watched about an hour or two a day, unlike my usual binge watching. I'm having trouble getting into it.
I agree with all that, but it looks so different with no color. No color from the flowers, no color from the gallery, no galleries to line the fairways to frame the shot. It ain't the same for me.It’s definitely not the same course.

Saw a camera angle today from behind a guy hitting into 18. It’s unreal how wide open and undefined looking it is without a gallery.I agree with all that, but it looks so different with no color.

When I first saw 18 green in person, I was surprised at how narrow it is. Also, I was surprised at the scope of the elevation changes. That course would be a b!tch to walk for me now at my age. I used to go to practice rounds every year and run it like a mountain goat, but I was much younger.Saw a camera angle today from behind a guy hitting into 18.
