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.

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).

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.

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

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 (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.
