private course

From micromcallister, 10/20/2003.

Jeremy Boyes and I played The Marshes on Sunday. Great day! We basically had the course to ourselves... there wasn't much wind, and when the sun did decide to shine, any chill that was present was taken away.

I must say that The Marshes is a fine fine track, but, if the euro tour does play there next year, the pros will go low, very, very low. The fairways are way wide and the greens are large. I know they'll trick the course up a bit for the event (grow the rough, slick the greens), but really, 25 under won't be out of the equation.

Jeremy heartily agreed, but noted that Monty likely won't show for these very reasons as he likes his venues tight. That must be why he's won so many US Opens. Hmm.
