Lost In Xanadu Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 "I don't like Whistling Straits," Johnson said. "You gotta hit it good, you gotta putt it good obviously. I think it separates the field in that regard. To me it wants to be a links, but it's the furthest thing from it because it's all aerial. There's no runups. You gotta carry it here to carry it there, that kind of thing. Is it beautiful? Stunning. You feel like you're playing on the ocean. It's just contrived. That's why I don't like it."

Well I'll give him this much: it is totally contrived. It used to be an anti-aircraft training facility and Pete Dye moved over a million cubic yards of dirt to make it. So it's hardly a natural links course. But it IS stunning. As an aside...Megashark v. Kolossos on Syfy kicks ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
