Played the Tips at Bethpage Black

So I played the back part of ever back tee box (blue tees weren’t out so we decided to play the tips), course probably played around 7700yds. On the card its right around 7500 but they added in new tee boxes behind a few of the posts. I shot 83 and it came up as a 3 handicap on the ghin system which I found hard to believe.

I think I had more 6's on my card then I have ever had, I think 5 of them, lol. It was a pretty ugly round for me especially with some major swing problems occurring due to my swing being too long. Slope rating is a 152 and 78.1 rating.

I have played the black course tons of times considering I grew up in the area but I never played the tips. Played with an assistant pro from one of the courses out east on long island and he shot 76.

Great round had by all, even the caddy said he hadn’t seen anyone play 3 of the tee boxes we played on some of the holes all season.

FYI, the course was in immaculate shape and all the grandstands were up for the Barclays tournament occurring there in August, course closes august 6th for the full prep.

The NY state open was just the 17th thru the 19th so everything was in tip top shape. The rough was also ridiculously thick, 6+ inch status, besides the fescue I was in several times also.

My feet and legs were soar by the end of the round. Great experience besides almost getting hit by a club thrown by one of the other two singles that joined up. Just wanted to share with the community.

This is the first season back after a 5 year layoff, besides the 2 outings I would play in a year, looking to play some amateur tournaments next season, so this was my year from prep and practice. Overall great day.
