One of my favorite rounds to play in Links

[RonnieSmith]

That would be Breezy, Moderate (Chal), Fast (Chal) at Pebble Beach. Having been luck enough to play there IRL once, and watching zillions of tournaments there on TV, I think those green conditions most closely resemble the IRL situation. Drive it in the rough and your begging for par. Get above the hole or pin high 25 feet away, and you're begging for a two putt.

Also for our round a nice mixture of pin positions. My only quibble would be to move the pin on #17 to the back left, but otherwise a lovely challenge.

As an aside, when you are playing there IRL, unless you are a low handicapper, when you face that 2nd shot on #6 up the hill, your thought is "how am I going to hit a 3-wood high enough to get up that hill?" While the approach on #8 and the tee shots on #7, #17, and #18 get your attention, that 2nd shot on #6 is quite the something as well.

Cheers,

Ronnie

Must have been great to play a round there. Playing C/C does get you closer to irl golf as playing from the rough is such a different challenge especially on quicker greens. Just as putting is when you get out of position on a green. And that's not just at Pebble but especially on any championship course.

Agree on hole 17 as I always have a problem with the pin position on the first round there lol.
