Man Scott’s 680s are gorgeous. I’m jealous.....

Played the course a few times in the Trackman simulator, my favorite setup ever. Is the course open to play if I ever get to visit the states?

Looks like Titleist offering the new driving iron as a "1 iron" in the larger footprint, wonder if they also will in the smaller one.

No on the 1 iron in the smaller utility iron, at least right now though they can bend the 2 iron stronger if someone wanted it.

it's private...?

Definitely private and is pretty steep all in if you can find somebody (obviously a member) to take you out. Guest fee, caddie fee and tip and you'd be pushing north of $400 I believe.

The kuro kage 70XTS in Adam Scott's driver, were they ever released? or are they tour only, and where if at all could I find a brand new uncut one?

That Ping PLD Anser 2 is a beauty!

What kind of balls is Alex Noren putting with? (From Tuesday’s pt 3 pics) Red ones? Weighted or something?

As a training aid I get the theory but when I tried them I hated the feel.

I am not sure I understand the purpose. I heavier ball, to help with acceleration? won't that then make you hit normal putts too hard?

You have to hit it out of the centre with the heavier ball so its about developing a solid and firm strike, its intended for short putts only. I personally didn't like the feel but you do get instant feedback as relates to the strike. Off-centre and the ball goes virtually nowhere.

ok, thank you. That does make a bit more sense.

Does anyone know what type of shoes Danny Willett is wearing in the pictures?

Looks like Adidas Adipure SP. Dustin Johnson appeared to be wearing them at Bethpage.

Doesn't it look like Kuchar is considering more of a 52-56-60 setup? He was 51-57-63. Has had that higher lofted lob wedge for a long time. Interesting if he changes to a 60 as the highest lofted wedge.

Cool that Stricker is going old school with the irons!

Are BDC's MB's one length?

He seems to be in quite the equipment flux right now. Nothing is safe in the bag. Those MB's are a great iron though. I would be interested in hearing about the switch.

If you're ever in the area you can just wander in and explore some of the course, the 18th green is really something else.

Bryson’s MBs sure don’t look one-length...must be an illusion or not fully seated in the bag.

They sure are way upright.

Wow! I wonder if those One-Length MB’s will ever make it to retail?

Played for real for the first time last year. I've been living in Cbus and trying to get on for about 8 years. Absolutely one of the most pure golf courses I have ever been on. It's incredible. And the milkshakes....

The milkshakes are better than the course

And the course is pretty amazing

Just one hell of a property and atmosphere

considering the very small markets for each combining to an even smaller one, I would doubt it.

What shaft is Phil using now? I thought I remembered reading he moved on from the HZRDUS TT1100 but cant remember what he switched to.

What colorful driver shaft is Billy Horschel using (pictured in Wednesday part 2)?
