We are back for Tie Course Reviews, this time keeping things more down the middle with an discussion on golf courses with great par 3's, par 4's, and par 5's. The most important piece of this conversation will be not just what the course is and what the sets of pars look like, but most importantly why they satisfy the things we each look for in great sets of par 3's, 4's, and 5's. Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

You know the drill by now, we're doing our what ifs for this year's US Open at Pinehurst. If the year's first 2 majors and Pinehurst's history as a host site are any indicator, we are in for another great week.

This week we have Brandon Wu AND Isaiah Salinda back at The Tie Podcast to preview the US Open at Pinehurst with us! Brandon recently qualified in Dallas for what will be his 3rd US Open.

We are 2 majors into the season with 2 more to be played, and today on #mudballmonday, we are going to discuss the things we have learned from the year's first 2 majors that we can look out for in the second two. Some of the highlights of the conversation are: - The role of ball striking in today's game in general and in particular at the majors. - Architecture vs. conditioning to create difficult golf. - Why the best players separate more at the biggest events.

Pinehurst No. 2. A course we have a lot of passion for here at the tie. As two North Carolinians, it is objectively the best golf course in our home state, but it goes deeper than that. Not only is that the case, the deuce is also such a wonderful and important golf course in so many ways. Today we are talking about what we have learned from No. 2 about architecture more broadly as well as why we expect it to be such a great US Open venue for 2024 as well as the many years to come that they have the event.
