It’s a crazy game, eh. A couple of weeks ago I missed a very short putt on the last green at Pebble Beach to miss out on a spot in a playoff…and this weekend I make a 40-footer on 18 to win. Figure that one out!

Our game is in a good place. Equipment improvements and distance are here to stay. Full stop. We need a ‘serious’ premium on accuracy. Golf courses don’t need to be longer. Make the Tour rough knee high, fairways fast and firm which is fair for all players.

My take on Trinity Forest
@attbyronnelson
@PGATOUR
. If you play the world's great courses, from St. Andrews to Royal Melbourne to any kind of links, there’s something here. It’s a wide open course, but the 2nd shot is where you miss shots…that’s the mark of great architecture.
