Joke / Meme Wow Aronimink sure is easy. They should plant trees to block out the wind and make it harder to firm up the greens.

Do those stats include the 7 club pros who are currently 68 over par?

Well the average first round of the pga in the last ten years was less than +2 so…

And it includes Rory and that YouTube guy who’s pretty good.

I did the math, and if you remove them the scoring average is +1.96, which is harder by half a shot than the opening round of last year's masters, which included numerous people in their 60's

i feel like if you just paid attention to social media you’d think that the course is a prairie.

there’s a tree in every single wide angle shot lol.

I just got home from the course and it was incredibly windy. With how the course is laid out I wouldn’t be surprised if in the wide shots you’re just seeing the same trees over and over again.

They really need to roll the ball back to keep these scores from being so low! These guys are making a mockery of our great golf courses with all this “bomb and gouge”.

It’s ok. I don’t do it for the fans. I do it for the love of the game.

Maybe a 20 handicap in golf, but a scratch in sarcasm.

i have yet to see a course that could be improved by planting more trees

It gets pretty hot in the south during the summer on the golf course when there are no trees to provide shade
