Ernie Els Gets a Slap on the Wrist

May 29, 2012 Leave a comment

Earlier today I published a short commentary for SB Nation on Ernie Els’ recent expletive-laced outburst following his third round at Europe’s BMW Championship. Turns out Ernie was a little ticked-off at the condition of the course’s greens that morning, stating that they weren’t watered enough and were therefore too hard to hold approach shots onto the putting surface. Basically, players were hitting golf balls onto greens that were more like cement than grass. Read more of this post

Another weekend, and unfortunately another poorly-played round of golf by your’s truly. This time the torture took place at Prairie Bluff Golf Course near Crest Hill, IL.

First and foremost, the course was in great shape and played every bit of it’s 70.8 rating from the blue tees. I have never played on faster greens in my life, which is saying a lot since I’ve played many different courses in 30 years. Neither I or my playing partner could hold an approach shot into any green, often needed to choose a club less to allow for the ball to release after landing. Putting was also a chore at times due to the firmness 0f the putting surface, but perhaps that is to be expected on a challenging course like Prairie Bluff. Read more of this post
