The US Open has had some interesting choices for location in the last several years,  abandoning the tiny fairways and long rough for for links-like layouts. However, the USGA had made several announcements recently to bring USGA championships to their roots. First, they named Pinehurst as an anchor. Now, they have added Oakmont as another anchor site.

“Oakmont Country Club, which was previously announced as the host site for the 2025 U.S. Open, will host the 2028 and 2038 U.S. Women’s Opens, the 2034, 2042 and 2049 U.S. Opens, the 2033 Walker Cup Match and the 2046 U.S. Women’s Amateur.”

Merion was also given several other championships.  “Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, which was previously named the host site for the 2022 Curtis Cup Match and the 2026 U.S. Amateur, will host four additional Opens – the 2030 U.S. Open, 2034 U.S. Women’s Open, 2046 U.S. Women’s Open and 2050 U.S. Open, with additional championships to be named in the future.”

My daughter will be 25. The last time Paula Creamer won the USWO at Oakmont she was begging for everyone's autographs as an eight-year-old.

Yikes. To be fair, they have to really slow stuff down to host the women players, generally.

Just so happy that the USGA can see what golf will be like 30 years in the future.

My big surprise:  is this normal to plan a championship that far into the future?  I feel like when I heard about some past US Opens, places like Torrey 2008, they were announced maybe 2-3 years in advance.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
