Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, founded in 1891, is one of the historic golfing institutions in the United States. It is the oldest incorporated golf club and was one of the five founding member clubs of the USGA. The Clubhouse, built in 1892, was the work of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. While in character it remains substantially the same as a century ago, it has enjoyed several expansions and renovations in the intervening decades, before undergoing a major restoration completed in 2016.
The original twelve hole golf course was designed by Willie Davis, and expanded to eighteen holes in the spring of 1895. These links were revised four times before the present course, designed by William Flynn and built by Dick Wilson of Toomey and Flynn, was opened for the 1931 season.
Shinnecock is laid out utilizing the natural topography of the Shinnecock Hills, and resembles a number of the courses on the British Isles. It has long been recognized as one of the top courses of the world, and has been the scene of notable U.S.G.A. events since its beginning. These include the second U.S. Open Championship and U.S. Amateur in 1896, the Women’s Amateur in 1900, and the Walker Cup Match in 1977. The U.S. Open Championship was held at Shinnecock again in 1986, and in 1995 for the 100th anniversary of the Open, and again in 2004 and 2018.
The 2026 U.S. Open Championship will be held at Shinnecock.

Took a while to find my feet but Rd1 was pretty poor at +3. Then started ok in Rd2 but lost the plot and had another +3. 3 double bogies I think. Chasing down Maximus but he kept his nose in front.
Rd3 had a bit of everything without the blow outs thankfully and -2....still trailing Maximus by a couple.
Rd4 birdied 4 in a row from 2-5 and missed a 6 footer on 6. Missed another 3 footer later on and eventually gave all those shots back for an even par.
+4 total. Vicious course.
I actually played some blinding golf at times but not using loft sliders and spin makes it pretty hard on precise approaches and trying to hold chip shots on plateaus or downhill pins. Thankfully greens didn't get above 163.
Good luck all.

My totals from the PGA Championship. I dug myself too deep of a hole in R1 and couldn't recover.
