Thank you Myron, very informative. But a few comments about the post:<br /><br />- The last hole was a par 5, and Cosner had to choose to go for the green to try and put for an eagle (-2), or lay up and try to get on to put for a birdie (-1). A birdie would have won him the Open, but an eagle would have given him the all time US Open scoring record (vs. Par).<br /><br />That being said, since practically the entire movie is about taking crazy risks despite knowing the safe/smart decision, it makes sense that he goes for the eagle and immortality in golf history (one of those defining moments he kept talking about). It probably wouldn't make for much a dramatic ending if he just plays it safe and wins the open.<br /><br />- He doesn't have the right to a mulligan. A mulligan is basically a redo without counting the previous stroke - which pros do not play. He has the right to a drop close to the water hazard, which he refuses to do six times in a row (I guess because of his mercurial nature). So instead he takes 6 penalty strokes and hits the same shot over and over again to prove he can make it.<br /><br />- No one hits a 1 wood off the fairway.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-42418479615291541592007-02-20T11:40:00.000-07:002007-02-20T11:40:00.000-07:00For the trivia enthusiasts among us - most of the ...For the trivia enthusiasts among us - most of the golf course footage was shot on The Forest, a new course at Kingwood Country Club in Kingwood, Texas, America just before it opened. There are 3 other courses there. And the bar where he drove the ball out through the door is actually the dining area of Kingwood Country Club. They took out a big plate glass window that overlooks the 18th on the Island Course. So named for the island green on the 18th. Anyway, the movie magicians turned the dining area into the bar. The little short guy that Costner was paired with the final day was the Kingwood Club pro. And the hole they showed him finishing on with the big white porch in the background was the 9th (I think) at Deerwood Country Club just a few miles from Kingwood CC. For what it's worth, I marshaled and started at KCC Forest Course for about a year and a half a year or so after the movie. Boy, did I play a bunch of golf. And I agree about the club choice the character made but after all, it was a movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-82488105745117121692007-02-20T07:12:00.000-07:002007-02-20T07:12:00.000-07:00Kevin Costner...uhmm...him of adolescent dreams......Kevin Costner...uhmm...him of adolescent dreams...yumm...Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347165192759448232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-60756905619630732352007-02-18T14:05:00.000-07:002007-02-18T14:05:00.000-07:00Thanks Your hottness!Thanks Your hottness!Nightmarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216726545673840504noreply@blogger.com
