If Oostie has another 66 in him, could be very interesting.

And Chambers Bay looks like Augusta compared to last years Pinehurst ..... USGA and Mike Davis need to chill ... it's the US Open. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) motto is "we keep golf green" .... guess the USGA feels different.

These clubs coupled with the Taylor Made SLDR Drier and Ping Scottsdale putter I won at a raffle a couple of weeks ago just means I need to actually learn how to play this game now.

Well, you can't blame the clubs, that's for sure...

These greens seem like such an adventure. It's amazing.

Come on Day.

I really wanna see a playoff. US open playoff is legit.

Dustin Johnson went from 2 up to 1 down just like that.

Poa greens are just the worst.

They are awful, but you can avoid that by just accepting that its going to be the dominant grass on your greens. Instead, the super and the USGA decided to piss up a rope.

Golf course superintendents are the single largest supporters of water conservation, because it stops the players/members from bitching every time there is a dime-sized patch of brown anywhere on the course.

Dustin Johnson falling apart. I'm ok with that.

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-21-2015 07:06 PM
If Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk were playing fourball in the Ryder Cup, they could find a way to lose when dormie 5.

O.city 06-21-2015 07:07 PM
Its just too late in the year to play this type of course in that region. 8 weeks ago, the course looked beautiful and would have been great to play.

Theres just no reason to have them anywhere.

You can have great bentgrass anywhere, especially that area.

FOX is getting killed on Twitter because they're hardly showing Grace and he's tied for the lead.

No, you can't. You'll always get bent greens that are overtaken.

It's going to be hard as hell to grow bent greens there and not plow them under every five years because it doesn't get hot enough to burn the poa out. The shit grows everywhere.

The climate will grow bent, but it will grow poa better, and a species with superior adaptations will always win.

There's no reason to have the US Open on the Pacific coast because these are the greens they will always end up with.

They would have to treat and treat and treat, and it's still always going to come back.

Depends on your strain of bent, but yeah, it would always be tough.

You're just always going to have problems playing a poa green course with a championship finishing late in the afternoon.
