I like the course, but probably biased after playing a very solid 2nd round. Nice (I think) Redan style course?! Started out -8 in the first round. Played the par 3 second hole like an idiot, otherwise nothing spectacular in that round. Second round I was more dialed in and I was making putts for once. Sat -12 through 13 holes. Then cooled off a bit, but still quite happy with a -14 for the 2nd round. Sitting -22 through two rounds and taking a break. Might be for an hour,might be for days. Who knows?! MacRaynor would be the style you're looking for Bob. A mashup of C.B. MacDonald and Seth Raynor who did several designs together in the early 1900s. Best known for copying the strategy of famous golf holes and applying "templates" (Cape, Road, Short, Redan, etc.) in their designs. Also, especially Raynor, known for sharp, geometric lines in their designs producing a distinctive look. I'll leave the course thread link in the reply, but here's the Reader's Digest version. Ladue C.C. is a quasi-RCR of St. Louis Country Club, which has previously hosted the U.S. Open. Because the course plays only 6,400-plus IRL, I had to bump up the yardages to equate w/ TGC distances, otherwise, it's a replica of the layout. I know the pins on the back shelves on the raised thumbprint 6th & double plateau will likely be mentioned at some point this week, but with Golf Club Atlas as my reference, I can assure you that pins are placed in these spots. Course thread: Ladue C.C.Enjoy the week.

going full Chad Thundercock mode in the first round with a -13. Long putt % of 75% as well, probably the best I've ever played in this game and I'd be impressed if anybody does better in R1. Turns out Chad Bigsmoothcock beat my first round score... Amazing stuff Justin, though a bit disheartening as that round was peak performance for me, didn't think anybody would beat it on this course in those conditions.

I'm just kicking back somewhere near the top of the FT leaderboard (for now...). That's where all the cool kids are No, in all seriousness, the schedulers are morons that couldn't line up a hot track if their life depended on it, and your course is such an incredible bag of shite that a few weeks back I traded a nailed on top 20 for a DQ / API holiday when I engaged striahgtlinesandbag.exe, just so I could drop out of the top 50 for this event... Looks like we have a straight shootout in TST this week

Turns out Chad Bigsmoothcock beat my first round score... Amazing stuff Justin, though a bit disheartening as that round was peak performance for me, didn't think anybody would beat it on this course in those conditions. Thanks, no complaints from me that round. This course style is right up my alley, love the strategy involved, even when it doesn't seem like there is any. On these types of courses, I think it's immensely helpful to check the pin position before hitting your tee shot. Can't tell you how many times I was trying to get my ball on one side of the fairway or the other so I had a better angle for my approach shot, giving myself a little backstop or slope to hit into. I hit a couple of really, really good shots into par 5's with a bunch of movement to take of yardage that left me with near tap-in eagles, the kinds of shots that I'd be hard pressed to get it any close with another try, which is honestly just a lot of luck at times. Solid ball striking in low winds combined with a good putting round - despite the numerous baby interruptions (I'm sensing a theme...) - doesn't leave a lot to be desired, just hope I can keep it up. That said, I can tell distances on these par 3's will come to bite me in the ass when the winds get up, because many of them seem to be right around the biggest yardage gap I have in my clubset, but I guess we'll see. Can't let that crawsy character run away with all of these!
