In that respect, they are like a team. They travel, hang out and play with the same guys most of the year. Plus, if the finish second, they still get like a million bucks.

He used to rub me the wrong way but he seems to have chilled and matured a lot over the past decade. His interview in Butler Cabin was first rate. You couldn't help but feel good for him

Yep when did Sergio become a good guy? That prick was always an uppity turd in tournaments. Also always a dick at the Ryder Cup. I guess when you reach a certain age people forget.

Sergio choking the putt on 18 yesterday was just about the most predictable thing one could foresee.

No, was gonna go today but didn't get around to it and had tball at 3.

Im trying to figure out how to get in the proam next year there. Friend if ours played Tuesday with Tom Watson at TOR and Wednesday at BR with Freddy.

philfree 04-23-2017 07:55 PM

I went. Kind of a hard venue to actually watch golf though. Cool place though and one day I'm going to break down and pay to play it.

OnTheWarpath15 05-17-2017 04:44 PM

Finally broke 80 for the first time.

Three bogies, two doubles, a triple and three birdies.

11/18 GIR, 10/14 FIR. 30 putts.

Was +4 through 16 and then went full reerun on 17, taking triple - and putting myself in a spot where I had to make par on the hardest hole on the course to shoot 79.

Good drive, went deep with the approach, pitched to 6 feet and made the putt.

Nothing like meeting your goal for the summer in May. Time to back it up now.

Nice round!

I'm still trying to break 90 for only the second time ever. The first time was a long damn time ago.

Unfortunately though, I usually struggle to break 100. I had my lowest round of the year a couple of weeks ago for a 97.

I'm still struggling with my iron play. I took some lessons last year and made some swing changes that are taking some time to repeat consistently.

I did recently upgrade my driver to a TaylorMade 2016 M2. I've never really struggled with my driver, but I can tell already that this one is longer and more forgiving than my old Burner driver.

Thanks!

Three years ago, I was a 22 handicap who struggled to keep the ball in play off the tee. I've always been a bit of a club ho, so I was always buy/trade/selling to try things out. Stumbled ass-backwards into a set of Bridgestone J40 irons and two summers ago dropped my handicap from 22 to 12.

Spent all last year floating between 12-15, then finally decided to spend the money to get properly fit for clubs.

Dropped down to regular flex shafts in both woods and irons, and my game has been much more consistent - especially off the tee. TM M1 12* with the face ripped wide open.

Looking forward to a great season - have an outside shot to play Southern Hills later this summer.

Have you ever been on the forums at The Hackers Paradise?

https://www.thehackersparadise.com/forum/

I've mentioned it before, but there's tons of good golf talk going on there. A lot of great contests, events, give aways and equipment testing.

I've been active there for a couple of years or more and really like it. I'm currently testing/reviewing the new Srixon Q-Star Tour balls. They sent me a free dozen and all I have to do is provide some feedback on them.

They have a contest going on right now, winners to be announced tomorrow morning, where two people will win an all expenses paid trip to Budget Golf's warehouse in Chicago. Those two will have a competition where the winner will participate in a Supermarket Sweep type of deal where everything they can put in their shopping cart in 60 seconds is theirs to keep. Drivers, irons, wedges, putters, balls, shoes, bags, etc. are all in play.

It's a pretty cool site. The have another event where 12 people will be selected for an all expenses paid trip to Carlsbad, CA to be custom fitted for a full bag of Callaway equipment and then play a Ryder Cup style tournament against Callway's marketing team.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-16-2017 03:13 PM

Currently 40 guys under par at the US Open. I grow tired of Mike Davis setups and the selections of these courses without any history to host a national championship.

"Hey, let's put 60 yard wide fairways in on a treeless golf course in an area that receives 3.5 inches of rain per month with average highs near 80, and little to no wind. What could go wrong?"

Now, to be fair, the USGA and RA need to collaborate with the tour on rolling back the golf ball so that you don't need an 8,000 yard course, but I miss the days of thinner strips of graduated rough and tough, gnarly grass bordering the collar of the greens that ate up standard approach shots.

O.city 06-16-2017 03:31 PM

It sucks watching them tear this thing up. It was never gonna be a good idea to go there.
I wish they'd get back to the traditional style golf course for the US Open. Tree lined big rough and slick greens

Congrats! That's an awesome feeling! I did it two years ago with a 79, then did it once last year with a 75. I live somewhere between 80 and 85, so breaking 80 is STILL exciting to me.

HemiEd 06-16-2017 05:05 PM

Was happy to shoot 82 today, hit the ball pretty well for being an old man. Missed 4 birdie puts under 10 feet and made the 4 footer.

tk13 06-16-2017 06:29 PM

Dustin Johnson just put the ball 30 yards beyond the green on a 676 yard hole. In 2 shots.

From what I've gathered, this is extremely rare for them not to have the wind blowing 15+ steadily. I know the three days I was there last June it blew 20 the whole time.

Personally, I could care less what the final score is. And apparently the course is hard enough - the three best players in the world all missed the cut badly.

A US open shouldn't have that many guys that far underpar. Par is supposed to be a good score at the US and some of these guys are running off 4 and 5 birdies in a row.

They keep trying to use length to make these things tough and that just doesn't work. Tech and mechanics are at a point that distance has been figured out. They need to bring back precision and accuracy being a premium, IMO.

I'm just tired of these Mike Davis US Fauxpens. You don't need any accuracy off the tee at a course like this, and these farmland courses are poor imitations of links setups that allow you to spin the hell out of the ball whenever you miss the green because every lie within 30 yards of the green is perfect.

I don't see how this challenges all aspects of a player's game. The fairways are wider than Augusta, and the greens are fast-ish but not devilish.

If the Open can be held on links, then the US Open can be held on parkland courses.

tk13 06-16-2017 11:37 PM

I didn't know what to expect coming into this week and I kind of still don't know what to expect. Scoring is definitely high for a US Open. I think the USGA played it conservative because they didn't know what to expect and they didn't want everyone complaining like the last couple years. I'd almost bet you that if they could do this again they'd set it up a bit harder. Maybe make sure the fairways were narrower. That said, for most of the top 10 players in the world, this has looked exactly like a US Open, if not harder. Jason Day was completely lost out there. This course got steamrolled by some relative unknowns and chewed up some of the best players in the world. Kind of a Jekyll/Hyde tourney.

I don't really have a problem with them trying different courses. I think the combination of this course, Chambers Bay, and moving the broadcast to FOX has been a lot for golf traditionalists to digest over the last few years. Unlike Chambers Bay though, it seems everyone likes this course, even the big names who got cut today all seemed very complimentary of it.

Are they really that far under par though? Keep in mind this is a par 72, not 70 - so they are getting basically 2 strokes a round because of the extra Par 5's.

Had they moved up and played 1 and 15 as Par 4's, then scores would likely be in that -2/-3 range, and no one would be upset.

And to your final point, I would say that the guys leading are the guys who have been the most precise/accurate. They've stayed out of the bunkers/fescue for the most part, and are finding the right areas of these greens.
