Pinehurst will 100% be out this coming week just so everyone is aware.
They said May, but I suspect it will be right at the very beginning of May to allow about 6 weeks of qualifying, as has been the case in prior years.
Sawgrass. Jeez. Have to take the view here that the island green (peninsular in fact) is a gimmick that golf would be better off without. Now you've got courses where the green is literally an island and has to be reached by boat. Hard to call that progress.
It's a question of taste, obviously, but I think Pete and Alice Dye did their best work at Kiawah, where they worked out the genius of the site itself rather than mucking things up with artificial features.
