20-40 yard wide fairways are typical. It wasn't like Tom was playing higher fairways in the past. You are just making up BS to support your argument with out comparison. You sound like an old man who is complaining kids have busses to go to school.

Back in my day, we played golf in 100 mph winds, 5 yard wide fairways, 1' high rough!!!! 

FYI, the rough 4" high, with these greens, is penalizing enough.

It  looks to me they gave the  rough a  haircut  last  night and so far the greens dont seem to be a  challenge at all. Im seeing an awful lot  of  birdies. It also looks  like they put alot  of  pins  in  bowls so hitting the green means a short  putt. To compensate for the equipment improvement they need  much narrower fairways  and  very  very  narrow  fairways with very high rough where a  player  might  be tempted to chicken stick a  hole. Force driver  on every  hole except the  par 3's.GEEZ, a 59 today?

Why can they broadcast the Women’s Open without interruption, and the Men’s with constant interruption?

To be fair  i imagine the women dont  command as high ad rates.

Same dumb schtick since joining.

These guys are having a hard time. It is not unfair, it is a very good challenge for a US Open.

If it’s so frustrating for you, you could turn it off. No one is making you watch this “embarrassment.”

Scheffler looking sharp so far.

The only reason I didn’t say anything is that I didn’t think it even warranted a response…it’s so flatly wrong the statement is laughable

Glad we got a break in US Open coverage to get an update on the R&A amateur championship, Korn Ferry, and LPGA  events

This putting from Rory is kind of bonkers.

Sucks to follow up that putt with that tee shot. 😏

I think it’s trolling. But, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if the LIV were to poach Azinger.

I  just  tuned  in and the  course  is a  joke.  Way  too easy  for  a US Open. I dont  know  if they are afraid  of the  players but  as Tom Watson said even par  should  be the winning score at a  US Open. Its too embarrassing  so they never show  you players  being able to tee  up fairway shots  but are they playing  lift, clean and  cheat today? And thats what Feherty  called  it. One day it will actually  be  played  on a  hard  course.

I don't know if they're playing LC&P (btw, the expression is Lift Cheat and Place, I think...) today, but I doubt it.  I doubt it'll ever be in effect in a USGA-run event.

In any case, par is just nearest integer to expected score.  I like seeing U.S. Opens have setups where that's floor more often than ceiling, but the winning score doesn't need to be even for me to enjoy the event.

Rain?  In Florida?  At this time of year?  

Also the announcer just said Scotty hit a "three finger eight iron."  I have no idea what that even means (other than I know what an eight iron is)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      Day 137 - Upper back was tight today so I did some more pitching work. Really working on letting the club fall instead of forcing it.

      Day 39: Same thing as previous post, with a 5-iron for about 15 minutes. Feel pretty good about progress so far, so spent another 20+ minutes working on short game shots, which I have been really struggling with on course lately.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      My short game is no longer a dumpster fire. It’s bordering on being the best part of my game at this point. I still need to stay out of the bunkers but I’m starting to hit shots to makeable distances (if only I could putt). I’ve pretty much gotten the three releases down. My feels for the releases: Drive the handle forward. I haven’t used this one too much lately. Left hand pulls the club. This is my standard motion. Right hand pushes the club. I use this occasionally for flop shots. I’m still in the process of learning how the ball reacts on the green with different shots so there’s plenty of room for improvement. The contact is clean so I’ll be able to dial it in with experience. The most important thing is to slow my tempo down. Way down. I need to bring the club back slowly so that momentum doesn’t put the clubhead in weird places. Not trying to create lag around the greens. Full swing has kind of fallen off but I haven’t practiced much lately. I’ll probably try to get some time in before the Ohio outing.
