Great video, thanks! You touched a bit on grass types; perhaps you can do a future video delving further into the differences in those. A video of that nature might explore lie types in those grasses and how to approach them in various conditions. You might throw in how to figure the direction grass is growing on a given green. Just a a few thoughts for you.
Pebble Beach is my favorite golf course. I played it once, many years ago, and can still remember every single hole.
That’s why it’s my favorite.
But I paid $125 to play it (back then). I would never pay $600-$1,000 to play it now.
It’s just golf.
I’ve played other iconic golf courses… St Andrews, TPC Sawgrass, Pinehurst, Kohler
… ☝🏻Pebble is still my favorite.
Thumbs down, for mispronouncing "Augusta."
