Topic: Suffok County Championship... Who will win?

here is a list of a fewpeople who played in tournaments this week so we can get a feel for how next week will go there were 2 separate tournaments this week. sorry if i missed anybody i just quickly looked through the two result pages. heres 5 of the main guys

Hwang 81

Stucklen 82

Furci 78

Keller 79

Rosenhouse 73 

Wouldn't it be more accurate to post who played in which tournamnet to compare??  If they played in different tournaments maybe course difficulty level would have something to do with the score discrepensy.  I know Stucklen and Rosenhouse both play in the same tourn (LI open Qualifier), how about listing the other tourn location along with each score.

I played Indian Island yesterday and that course is a joke.  What a piece of garbage.  How can they hold a county championship there?  The super should be fired.  They airated the greens six weeks ago and they still stink.  Putts will be very difficult to make.  It's anyones tournament when you play a course as crappy as that.  Golfers who belong to country clubs with fast good greens will have a hard time adjusting. 

 Having a county tourney on that course shows you how little anyone cares about Long Island high school golf.  No wonder Jim Lui, one of the best junior golfers in the world, from Smithtown doesn't even play high school golf.  Playing a course as poorly conditioned as Indian Island messes with your confidence and alters your putting stroke.

Yea 21, the colleges don't look at high school golf in the North.  That may be because it is such a joke.  The administrators of high school golf don't take the job serious enough or they would find courses that allow for the potential to score.  Did you play last years event?  Was the course in better shape then its in now?  I can't see anyone shooting a real good score with the greens the way they are now.

 As for Jim Lui, I've seen his excellence first hand.  He is the best putter I have ever seen, child or adult.  He's twelve years old winning IJGT events against 18 year olds and even shot 59 when he was 9 years old in a PJGT event.  A real phenom.  His father's smart not having him play this piece of garbage course, it can only hurt his confidence and force him to change his stroke.   

No dude you listen.  You're wrong.  Putting on greens as bad as those will do damage to your stroke.  Temporarily, yes but putting is all about confidence and consistency.  Some might bounce back and get it back quickly, others might have a hard time seeing the ball go in the hole fro a while after seeing them bounce off line for 36 straight holes.

 You're also wrong about the best player winning.  Course conditions are relevant when determining the best golfer.  Why do you think they play the NY State Open on Bethpage Black and not at Bergen Point?  On line putts might not go in and off line putts might.

 As for Lui, I can't tell you why he doesn't play HS golf and it probably is that his schedule is demanding nationally, but he's doing himself a favor not showing up to that dog track.

I've played in every golf championship in the Met Area and never have the greens been in poor condition.  The Black may have greens rolling 9 now but you can bet they'll be 11 or 12 by mid July.  I've never been a CC guy but every, and I mean every tournament of prominence in the area is on a course with fast, smooth, sloping greens.

 To say the greens aren't that bad at Island Hills means you've never played on good greens and if ever you try to play in prominent events in the future, you'll likely have a terrible time adjusting.  I played Island Hills also and those greens absolutely sucked.  I hit a chip and the ball landed on an airation hole and jumped five feet offline.  You'll probably do OK if you're use to those kind of greens and you have a feel for hitting your putts hard.  Good luck. 

hey although no one knows about them.

East Hampton Golf Squad has a solid 6.

they have a shot at being a small school second day contender. possibly making the 2nd day if 5 come through for them.
