It was looking slim that Tiger Woods would make the AT&T cut at Aronomink but he made it by one shot. Not sure he can make up all that ground as far back as he is at 10 shots from the lead.
They’re toughening up the course and the greens at “The Mink” are drying up. Having played that course I can attest to the severity of the greens. If they got hard and fast we could see some high numbers.
Tiger Woods has finished his 2nd round at the AT&T today, posting a 70. With rounds of 73 & 70 he sits at +3 and the projected cut right now is +2.
My good friend John Boyne (Boynie) is a caddy at St. Andrews. He and I have agreed to do some Q&A about St. Andrews and the upcoming British Open. I’d like you all to post some questions here and I’ll pick a few to submit to him. Comment them in below and I’ll pick some to submit.
St. Andrews
We DO plan to do a guided tour of The Old Course in three chunks, 6 holes at a time. Boynie will tell us a little about each hole and how the pros should play them and what pitfalls they’ll encounter.
Thanks to my pal Stephan Jansson for sending me some photos of Bali Hai golf course in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I’ve added those to the HOG image gallery, which now has over 12,000 images and roughly 4000 images of golf courses!
This week Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour are at Aronomink for the AT&T National. Aronomink was designed by perhaps the most famous golf course designer of all time, Donald Ross. Donald Ross’ most famous course is Pinehurst #2. What a lot of people don’t know, is that Aronomink was Ross’ pride and joy or his “masterpiece” as he called it. In fact, there’s a plaque with a bust of Ross by the 1st hole which says “This is my masterpiece.” ”
Back in 1997 I played The Mink and I enjoyed it very much. I really like tree lined “traditional” style courses. The greens were quite undulating and challenging as well.
Digital photography was pretty bad as was my swing and my body shape back then. I have a gallery of Aronomink pictures, but they’re from the first digital still camera I owned. That camera was a whopping 1-megapixel and shot pretty bad shots.
