Continue Reading... Comments Off on Outlaw Tour 2020 ScoresOverview: The East Course at Oak Tree Country Club is a Pete Dye design with narrow fairways, quite a few water hazards and tricky greens.

Continue Reading... Comments Off on Tournament Recap: 2020 Oklahoma OpenOverview: Talking Stick is a relatively long course with only two par 5’s. It’s interesting because there are a few holes that have an out-of-bounds fence running along the left side of the fairway. The fairways and greens are very firm, and all of the grass besides the greens is mowed at fairway height. So there […]

I needed to be in the top 3 to advance to the Monday Qualifier. So I didn’t move on, but I actually played pretty […]

I teed off at 12pm and the greens were soft and a little slow. Rivercut is a great course that has water hazards in play on about 10 of the holes. The fairways were zoysia and the […]
