  Concur also,but I agree too.

  Except that you know whatty? I would just start right off with Oakmont because the thing is,just because youve read that its hard will by definition,make it harder for YOU to play.Already you are defeated unless you go there,and just play like you had no care in the whole world,smile,and your clubs smile upon you.Works for me anyway.

  I would suggest that you play equal rounds on each of them to get a true scoring average.  Playing at St Andrews and Kiawah with low winds gives you the lowest scores, but as you progress those arent that easy any more.  Plus the fairways and greens are very different from course to course.
