GolfWRX is at the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., the home of the PGA Tour. Most golfers know that TPC Sawgrass is home the famous Stadium Course where the Tour's best slug it out in The Players Championship. But there's another Pete Dye course at TPC Sawgrass, The Valley, that will host this week's Web.com Tour event.

 

There's no island green on The Valley course, but the course has plenty of teeth. The Bermuda rough is long and thick and the greens are firm and fast. Whoever wins this week will have endured a serious test of golf.

 

Friday's Buzz: Diego Velazquez, Troy Merrit, Andres Gonzales, Grant Waite, Tag Ridings, Jeff Klauk, Skip Kendall Fred Funk, Aaron Price, Woody Austin, Josh Broadaway, Patrick Cantlay and Kevin Tway. Don't miss shots of the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse, as well as the sights around the tournament.

Nice pics Greg. I wanted to show one of my own:

Nice pictures. Funny to see Bob Tway playing on an iphone while his son engages in a pressurized tournament situation. Like, "Uh Dad, I brought you to caddy for me for your experience, not so you can catch up on your email."

Got a chance to play that course earlier this year. Fun course. Definitely underrated as it sits in the shadow of the Stadium course. Liked the angles and challenging tee shots. Pete Dye definitely has a way with visual intimidation and the appearance of trouble as well as actual trouble. Can't imagine how its playing with rough up and greens fast.

I have played it a few times in top condition, very cool course to play. The greens have gotten so smooth and fast over the past few years that shots have to be coming in at the right trajectory in order to stop. Somewhat simliar to the Stadium course but not quite as good.

What are these irons in Grant Waite's bag? Are they a new Adams prototype? Is there a really close-up pic of them with more detail?

What Ping putter was Jin Park using? Doesn't look like anything in the Scottsdale line-up right now.
