Just not a fan of island greens so I feel like it's too punitive when a small gust of wind or something doesnt reward a good shot. I absolutely adore the US Open, but I feel the same when greens get baked and can't hold shots. Don't mind high rough because not supposed to hit it there.
Agree it pales in comparison to other 3, dont think moving it to May helped. Personally disagree on Players though, as I think Sawgrass is overhyped and 17 is gimmicky.
But im old school and love the US open on tough tracks and the Open with lots of rough weather and carnage, and no what it has generally been in recent years, links golf with scores you see at the 3M Open or John Deere Classic.
Would love to see the Twins sign Andrew McCutcheon just for some veteran leadership on this young team.
Cutch is a class act and I think he could impart a lot onto the next generation on hiw to be a professional and do things the right way.
Probably won't happen as I know he doesn't have much production left in the tank, but even over a short time could be a great influence.
Interesting that UND and USD rated as high capacity while the marker schools are high stress. Assume for Fargo U that only gets worse with vastly increased expenses and marginal revenue gains.
I think getting out of Minnesota was good for Varland. Not sure he does that with the Twins and pressure of being a home town guy. I think Twins are a little too hung up on drafting Minnesota guys.
You dont need an NHL rink for super regionals. Plenty of AHL (and even some USHL) rinks would work, with seating of 10K plus.
Better promotional always helps, but dialing back ticket prices a little would help even more.
