Bobby Fairways is a YouTube content creator for Bob Does Sports<\/a>, and he was given the chance to play Shinnecock Hills just two weeks before the U.S. Open.<\/p>\nAdvertisement<\/p>\n
He plays to a handicap of 10, so he obviously knows his way around a golf course.<\/p>\n
Bobby Fairways played at Shinnecock alongside Fat Perez and Joey Cold Cuts in howling 30 mph winds.<\/p>\n
The trio played from the forward tees, with the course measuring 6,136 yards \u2013 a full 1,300 yards shorter than the length the course will play next week for the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

Bobby posted a round of 99 around the par-70 layout.<\/p>\n
He made 10 double bogeys, two triple bogeys, three bogeys and just three pars during what was an extremely challenging day on the links.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, scratch golfer Fat Perez posted an impressive 75, while Joey Cold Cuts (11.2 handicap) carded an 83.<\/p>\n

How many shots a 10-handicapper receives at Shinnecock from the blue tees<\/p>\n
From the blue tees, the par-70 has a course rating of 70.8.<\/p>\n
The slope rating is 135.<\/p>\n
If you are a 10-handicap amateur playing Shinnecock from the blue tees, you would receive 13 strokes.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, from the tips, you would receive a whopping 18 shots.<\/p>\n
However, the conditions that the Bob Does Sports guys played in were obviously extremely challenging.<\/p>\n
99 sounds like a poor score, but anyone who has played Shinnecock Hills when the wind is up will understand that 29 over-par is nothing to be ashamed of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shinnecock Hills will play host to the best golfers on the planet next week when the U.S. Open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,301705,301650,99,24400],"class_list":["post-696395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-joey-cold-cuts","tag-shinnecock-hills","tag-sports","tag-u-s-open"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
