re: Gary Player is not a fan of Chambers Bay

The only thing I don't like about this course is that it doesn't really reward "good shots".
You can hit a ball dead center of the fairway and it rolls 50 yards left or right into a bunker. Same with a approach shot. You can stick it 5ft from the pin, but it has so many slopes and levels that it will roll 25yards into a bunker.
Some of that is the course, but it has a lot to do with the pin placement. The greens are huge so they have a lot of areas to put the pin. But seems like they put them in spots with a tiny landing zone and massive slopes all around it.
But I like everything else about the course. And I mean everyone plays on the same course.

Player is largely right in what he said.
Glad to see someone have the balls to say CB is a clown course.
Weiskopf and Norman know it too, they just can't say it.

quote:Actually, most of the "official" greens are much smaller than they look on TV. You can't really tell the difference between the fairway and greens with the type of grass and cut being the same. In person there are small white dots that outline the green and one of the biggest complaints has been the limited place to put pins on the severely sloped greens.
