One sign of normalcy returning is the USO qualifying is back. Locals start soon, in about 10 days, going until May. I see 3 qualifiers near me. If you're not familiar, these are free and open to the public usually. Not sure how covid will affect attendance requirements. Anyone know if they are still open to the public to view this year?

Final qualifying dates May 24, June 7.

A few years back Golf Channel actually televised a bunch of the sectional qualifiers (a best as they could) and I thought it was pretty cool.  Wish they'd do that again.

At one of the qualifiers, I recall overhearing one of the announcers talking to a cameraman or some other and he was like, if you suck at math and science, you should be a reporter, it's a great gig.

I went to the Open the last time it was at Torrey Pines.  It's still the only major I've been to.  Fun time.  I can't wait to watch this one.

In his defense having to hear "smash that like button" on repeat could probably drive anyone crazy after less than an hour.

I went to the practice rounds for the 2008 US Open.  Saw all the big names.  A highlight of my golf watching career, along with watch Jack win his final USGA total at Cherry Hills in the Senior US Open in 1993.  I was at a conference at a hotel where a lot of the players stayed including Jack.  Coincidentally, the Denver Broncos were holding cheerleader tryouts at the same hotel.  Good times.

Wow.  What a great story.  Anyone know when and where his sectional qualifying will be?

I'm guessing the Bears Club in Jupiter FL.

If this kid wins, will this be the youngest victor at the Open since Ouimet? 

Imagine if the Open goes to a playoff with Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, and that kid... and the kid wins.

Okay, one shot at a time, first the kid has to get through the next qualifying stage.

But seriously, that's so cool that he was able to do what he already has done!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
