Bethpage Black Golf Course Review: The Front-9 (2019 PGA Championship)

I watched the boisterous 2002 and 2009 U.S. Open championships and marveled at Bethpage Black's gargantuan length and legendary bunkering.  I saw the notorious "Warning" sign hundreds of times online and dreamed about one day taking on this A.W. Tillinghast masterpiece.  And in May I finally teed it up on this world-renown track for the first time. 

 

I didn't walk up to the first tee pounding my chest and humming like Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of Wall Street, but I was definitely confident for the impending challenge.  In the end I didn't solve the puzzle that is Bethpage, but Black didn't exactly chew me up and spit me out either.

The 2019 Wells Fargo Championship: Inside the Course (Quail Hollow Club Review)

Quail Hollow Golf Club hosts the Wells Fargo Championship this week and is a stern test of golf, but one that rewards good shots with scoring opportunities.  Thick Bermuda rough puts a priority on keeping the ball in play off the tee, and sharp doglegs require proper positioning to avoid to avoid penal consequences.

Cobb layout removed some trees to open up the course and lines of play, and rewards players who are great tee-to-green tacticians.  With a good variety of holes that challenge you to make strategic decisions off the tee and on approach, players without a mastery of each club in their bag are doomed to struggle.
