My first time back in 20 years. IMHO, it’s still the undisputed best course in the world.

The restoration of Wilshire CC is very good. It’s probably the most artistic golf courses in So Cal. The barranca runs one mile long through the golf course. Another winner from @KylePhillipsGCD – at Los Angeles, CA

Better agronomy, better equipment, less trees, better staff. It all adds up to a better experience.

Poa Annua always wins, at least with traditional maintenance methods.

If you belonged to a country club and the range was in this condition, would you complain?

I’m sheltering in place at a hotel in Dubai and can confirm that there have been some very big explosions in the last 30 minutes.
🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇦🇪 — Explosions in Dubai again. Iran appears to be sychronizing attacks against Israel and American bases in the Middle East. #Iran

I can understand why some people think Royal Melbourne is the best golf course in the world. It’s sublime.

New South Wales golf club just outside of Sydney is well deserving of its place as the 49th best golf course in the world. @GolfMagazine

He’s 90 years old and been to The Masters around 68 times, winning it 3 times. To me, it’s his own fault and shows his character that he can’t find a member to host him and his grandchildren for a round of golf.
🚫⛳️🌺 #DENIED — 3-time Masters Champion Gary Player says his request to play a round at Augusta National with his three grandsons has been denied. “I have been an ambassador for Augusta for all these years, yet they won’t let me have one round of golf in my life with my three grandsons.” “My grandsons are dying to know about their grandfather’s episodes on that golf course… All the golf courses that have hosted the Open, the US Open and the PGA would oblige, but they won’t do it at Augusta… “It is just this current management there, but these are the times we live in and I accept it, but I accept it with sadness.” ➡️ Thoughts on the move?

Arguably the most beautiful golf course in the world. Te Arai by Coore and Crenshaw. @NewZealandGolf

The 6th at Riviera. When will some realize that the original is better than today’s version?

Blast from the past. The Tropicana CC became the MGM Grand hotel. The 115 acre property was sold in 1989 and the hotel opened in 1993.

The USGA always puts on a good show. MPCC is looking brilliant.

I haven’t been in London in years but the glass skyscrapers dominate the skyline. They might as well sell the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace.

The 1st hole at Port Stewart is breathtaking. It’s why we play this game. @GeminiApp colorized the photo from 1949.

Royal County Down did not disappoint yesterday. Wind and rain at the beginning and then glorious sunshine. The attention to detail is superb by the maintenance crew. One of the world’s best courses and also one of the hardest. @royalcountydown

Lincoln Park municipal golf course. Owned and operated by the city of San Francisco. Budget woes and lack of interest by the city park department has turned the course from a gem to an embarrassment.

The Walker Cup did not disappoint yesterday. The weather was perfect and Cypress Point was superb. The @USGA presents first class events.
