Episode description

As we are in the season where there isn't too much dry powder to discuss in the golf world, we instead are dipping into some random concepts and topics that we have kicked around throughout the year to dive into.

Today's arbitrary topic of conversation is what is most important to a US Open test, and what are the layers of testing that a US Open venue poses to a player? From the most important to least important elements of a US Open test that a player has ton conquer to be successful, we are here to break it all down. We wrap up the episode discussing what our ideal US Open venues are and why they exude the traits we discuss throughout today's conversation.

Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

Thanks for the support as always!

Cheers,

- The Tie Guys
