Hey, i understand some people just  like seeing  birdie after  birdie. A pro is supposed to be the  best. At least  once a year we should  be able to see pros figuring  out  how to make a  par. As far  as the barranca goes its falling flat as an obstacle unless you really  get unlucky.

They have to get 156 players around the golf course in two days. They can’t set it up tough yet or pace of play would be worse than it already is.

The scoring average is not 67. Jeezus.

Please dont get  me started  on pace  of  play. Maybe  if they issued stroke penalties on a regular  basis  for  slow  play instead  of  meaningless warnings play would speed  up.. You make  good  points and  i will wait  till i make any further  posts on the ease  of the  course to see what  happens the rest  of the week. I will post  good things about  how  my favs are doing, Scheffler, Koepka, and Rahm. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.


Rickie finally got his OWGR ranking trending the right way after dropping for six years in a row. Good for him.

If I counted correctly, 11 of 57 players that have completed thier round are under par.  That is @ 19% under par so @ 81% at or over par.  And only 2 of thouse are better than -3.

I actualy like that the course is playable.  I remember Chamber's Bay a few years back.

Edited by StuM
Clarified that the @ 81% includes those even par, not just over par

Can’t this par discussion take place in a designated topic, rather than every major topic?

Rory outdrove the field on 1. Good start.

Also, no more talk about par or other off topic posts please.

Two birdies in a row for Rory.

Is Phil that stupid to wear the logo that he’s being sued for? Yes. Yes he is.

LACC: 71.6
Brookline: 72.8
Torrey: 73.7
Winged Foot: 72.6
Pebble: 72.7

This is a par 70, too. So, currently, the average is close to +2.

Welp, looks like the pins are all at the bottom of the bowls. They are curling them in from 8-10 feet like nothing.

As a disclaimer, I ve only seen three holes so far..he he.

The US Open starts this Thursday. 

I just found out that a guy from my area go in as an alternate. He goes to Ohio State, and went to Green HS in Uniontown, Ohio (about 20 minutes south of me). 

So, I will be rooting for him to do well. 

Expand  

He is +1 and for a last minute add I would guess he is happy.  I did not happen to see him.  Do you know if he gif any air time?

    • Day 24 (14 Feb 25) - Played with the l Friday men’s group (only 7 of us today - temps in the low 40’s to start and N-NW winds gusting to 10-15 mph).  It was course management front and center type of day.  Had ample opportunities to work from some tough lies, etc.  Overall an okay round -  the bigger struggle was with the putter (several three putts and one four - ugggly offset by one terrific 60’ putt for birdie).  Spent some time after the round chipping on the practice green. 
    • Day 8; 2/14/2025 Had a lesson with Yoda today. ... He suggested I take up tennis. 😂
    • Day 7: 2/14/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Made the first 42 before hitting 2 gates in a row, then made 9 consecutive putts.    Followed with a Par 4 success speed training workout and hit 113 mph several times.
    • Personally, I can't stand the announcers bias to some players over others. One player hits it to 8 feet and it's "What a spectacular shot from Scotty Scheffler"! Then somebody else...not a favorite... hits a shot to 4 feet and they say something like "well he needs a few more of those if wants a chance on the weekend". Azinger was the worst at gushing over his favorites but now it's every announcer.
    • A lot of people just mute the announcers these days. 🙂
