  • With the 2023 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club just weeks away, I got to play their new 17th hole with Links Manager James Bledge.
    For the 151st Open Championship, the best players in the world could play this hole as short as 120 yards in length! What do we all think? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also please let me know what videos you'd like to see on my channel. We have so many videos coming soon.

    What a gem of a channel. Thanks RUclips algorithm! I’ve seldom seen a more natural presenter and what a talented golfer Iona is. This insight will make watching the Open even more exciting and enjoyable. Can’t wait to see more! Thanks Iona.

    This is why courses, even at Tour level, don’t have to be 7000+ yards long. Just throw in a couple of tricky par 3s. IMO (having not asked everyone 😂) spectators would rather see an artistic wedge into a P3 than the Pros smashing a 4 iron 230. At the US Open, was there not a 290 yard par 3 ? I get the skill required to hit a green from 290 or get up and down is immense but it’s not as subtle!

      17.3 m x 17.3m isn’t a huge green…which is what it would be if it were square. It has run offs and will be firm, so I’d say that’s a tough green to hit.

      It's 136 yards. Pebble Beach has a 106 yarder and Augusta has a 155 yarder, which has a far bigger green.
      136 yards onto a tiny elevated green, exposed to the estuary's swirling winds, sounds plenty long enough to me.
