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.

I wish they'd get back to the traditional style golf course for the US Open. Tree lined big rough and slick greens

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.
