The scenery out here is pretty insane. I think it’ll look amazing on TV and everything like that. Pretty interested to kind of see what the scores are like and what it plays like in tournament conditions.
I think there is always like a learning curve just from everything. How the setup is, just everything that goes on behind the scenes.
So I think everyone is excited. But also kind of learning what to do and where to go and how to direct people the right way and everything. So it’s gone well so far. Hopefully, we continue and have a good week and everything goes according to plan I guess.
I think just the way all the lava rock is and it’s not hazard, just kind of lost ball, it’s not really like anything else. So it’s kind of some places you might go and might be hazard or you might go to Arizona and hit it in the desert and you can still find it and chip it out.
Here, you’re not going to find it most of the time. Especially in the rocks. So I think it’s very unique, very different. People are all kind of seeing it and learning it for the first time.
But there is plenty of room to play out there. It’s not like it’s super tight all over the place. They have given us plenty of space to hit driver or anything off the tee. Just got to keep it out of the rocks.
You’re able to kind of decide how much you want to bite off on certain holes or how much you want to push it up the fairway and like we kind of mentioned, with the lava rock, it’s pretty kind of do or die hazard throughout the whole golf course.
So that aspect is I think pretty cool.
There is definitely a lot to kind of see out there. You know, I think it’ll take a few rounds to really start understanding the places where you do want to take that risk. You got par-5s, like No. 9, that the second shot is virtually like you have to hit the green or maybe the bunker and you could get lucky.
But if you’re going for that green in two and you miss it, it’s like re-hit the shot from 250 yards.
It’s going to be interesting to see how people kind of take on those certain situations in a tournament situation. If I’m out there playing last week just like with some friends, it’s like, oh, yeah I’ll go for this green in two. When it’s like I could make a 12 if I hit it in the rocks, you’re like, I’ll probably just chip it out and hit a wedge on the green.
