I know when you get to play a place like that, your score is secondary to the experience. But how difficult was it? It looks impossible.

it's very very difficult - like the hardest course in the country difficult.

It sure looks like it but damn that place is fine. I thought it was pretty interesting that they don't have rakes on the course.

I'd shoot a 250 on that thing

I'm playing to around a 15 right now and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't break 100. I'd love to find out though.

Lived outside Philly for 3 1/2 years, had a client who was a member, and a client who was a member at Merion. Luckily played both, had lunch as well

The story about Jack N, wife sitting in their car because women were not allowed in the clubhouse is true

I am a witness...

I think that women are now allowed there ----- on Sunday's ----- after lunch

This will never change for obvious reasons

That’s 2 nice rounds, Merion looks awesome, I’d rather play PV over Augusta, my dad was a course Marshall at the Masters from 97-01 and has had the pleasure of playing it in May after each year. It’s a toss up but I’d pick PV over AN, friend just got back from a Baltusrol round this past fall and wasn’t that impressed design wise but enjoyed the experience I guess you could say. I’m more about course design than prestige I guess, with that said I can see why PV is #1.

I see why there's no tourneys there. Aint no room for spectators. I see why Pinehurst No. 2 went with the sand rough down most fairways. Got the idea from this place. I'm thinking 55/55 110. And I'm, a 10 hcdp, from the tips.
