Let's have a little fun and make up some prop bets for this year's U.S. Open. Prop bets can be about whatever you'd like - Tiger, the course, the field, the fans, the announcers… the scores, anything.

You can assign odds, make them an over/under, etc. Have some fun with it.

For example…

1/3 - Odds Tiger talks about "patterns".

3/1 - Odds Tiger is around to talk about "patterns" on the weekend.

1/1 - Odds Rory beats Jordan. Or vice versa.

Over/under 5.5: How many times Tiger will say during the week in interviews he got stuck between patterns

Over/under: 30.5: How many times Fox will try and promote FoxSports 1 Sports shows during the week (given the fact no one really watches them compared to SportsCenter).

Over/under 3.5: How many times Ian Poulter will go on twitter and whine about Chambers Bay.

Over/under 5 hours, 10 minutes: Longest round of golf (because with the length and difficulty of this course, there are going to be some long ones).

Tiger will mention he's got his EXPLOSIVENESS back 11 times after he has a good first round, then proceeds to miss the cut.

3 to 1 someone yells "Mashed Potatoes" after Bubba Watson hits a drive.

10 to 1 Joe Buck says there's no place for that in golf even though he's giggling to himself off camera.

30 to 1 Greg Norman says it reminds him of how delicious the mashed potatoes are in his new steakhouse in Melbourne.

And there will be 23 additional articles written by pretentious writers shunning Chambers Bay as not a "True" links course.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By StuM ·

      No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues.  I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.

      Thanks for following up. Since you're going to be booking the stay and play packages, does that mean you have to put up the money up front?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By billchao ·

      Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By StuM ·

      I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.
