rolling notes for the #AmericanExpress

˚stadium course historically always toughest of 3
˚sc is very tough to define, "it's easy while also fucking hard" - one player said to me
˚dormant rough
˚smallish (by pga standards), firm, bermuda greens

˚challenging pete dye attributes (double dog legs, heavy bunkering, tough closing stretch)
˚some of the toughest par 3s on tour, number 17 alcatraz island
˚water a threat on 7 holes and can take players out of the game
˚terrible play of pro-am players used to grind pros to a halt

˚overall, a point a to point b, avoid the disasters, course w/ hot putting
˚look at the style of recent winners, landry, long, swafford -- or those with success --> hadwin
