00:00yeah colonial golf course 72 7300 yards here weather conditions what can we look forward to
00:04this weekend well donnie two years ago the course went through an extensive renovation and it's
00:10nearly 80 years that they've been coming here on the pga tour you know hogan's alley all of that
00:14right so it has a ton of history there but gil hans and jim wagner came in two years ago and
00:19they redid the entire golf course tried to restore it back to some of its roots so we had one year
00:24davis riley last year yeah i mean he just boat raced scotty scheffler i don't know if scotty's
00:28any good but he beat him by five davis riley was 14 under par though scotty at nine he took him down
00:33on sunday and what we've learned is that when the guys redid the golf course that you pretty much need
00:39the same principles involved number one is that about 50 of your approach shots are going to come
00:44from between 125 and 175 yards of course that's probably scotty's number one range but i digress
00:50you got to be good in that range number two is that i love comp courses here there's not always a very
00:55strong like history component or experience component for guys that have played here before
01:00but guys that have played places like valspar or they've played the windham championship golf courses
01:05bermuda grass rough like those types of venues very positional off the tee i like those guys when it
01:11comes to you know filling out the betting card and then the third thing i would say is that you got
01:14to be used to bermuda grass they're not overseeding this week so you're not going to see all that plush
01:18green that you saw at quail hollow you're going to see bermuda grass rough all the way up to and around
01:22the greens the greens are going to be firm and fast you know they've only redone them a year ago
01:26when you do sod them like that they're usually very very hard like what we saw last week at quail hollow
01:31the ball is going to be bouncing you're going to be able to chip and score from close range
