I'm already upset when I find my ball in the bunker I'm really upset and when I find my ball in a fried egg

fried egg lie I'm about ready to run off the golf course So, Welcome to the Friday Golf Podcast. I'm Garrett Morrison and today we're talking about Andrew

Green's renovation of East Lake Golf Club,

and we're previewing the Tour Championship.

But first, we're going to talk about what we're in on and what we're out on. Here to do that with me is Joseph Lamagna. Joseph, what are you in on?

Garrett, I'm taking a big swing here. Super controversial opinion. I'm in on the road hole at St Andrews. I have a renewed

appreciation for it watching the women's open this past weekend, but particularly at the women's

scale of the game and when you have to hit a

long iron or wood in that hole is just so much more demanding both off the tee and on

the approach versus like in 2022 at the men's open championship when guys have on the line,

worst of the conditions, blustery rainy,

pull out lumber and hit that shot to, what was it,

18, 20 feet to help her end up she ends up

burning the 18th hole wins by two but really one by one if Lilyavoo

doesn't miss that short put at at the end. The 17th hole is just awesome. It comes at a great point in the round. Now it's built these iconic moments, even the past couple of

editions of majors at that course, Cam Smith putting around the

bunker, the shot that Stacy Lewis detailed on the pod last week. It's an exceptional hole especially

for the women, so couldn't be more in on the 17th.

It's still a great hole for the men but you're right that it's it's different for the women and you know

part of what has always made that whole exciting is that the green complex really doesn't fit the scale of the

shot that most players are hitting into it.
