My grandfather played in this event 90 years ago at the same site at age 21. I was going through some memorabilia and wanted to share these gems. The first image shows the cover of the 25-cent program

Well, after that horrible break early in the round when his ball hit the flag stick launching his ball off the green. What resiliency just to stick with it and close out the U.S. Open.

And $20 to finish top 10, which will pay $140 if he can finish in the top 10. 

Brooks missed the top 10 by one stroke. 

So, Caught on the fly, gone with a sigh. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Given that the rough is not that high for the members, and I doubt they have the championship tee boxes open.

Though, it is a beast, lol.

I don't think this was a last man standing win. The drive on 17 has gotta be an all-timer at a US Open though. Talk about hitting it on the screws at a peak moment! And then doesn't blink on the big 18th either. 100% deserved win.   

I was pulling hard for Adam and Viktor though. I hope Viktor can put it together and get one across the field soon. I do think the denial of drop at 15 got in Burn's head. 

The cabbage seemed like it was singularly most defining aspect of the championship (as expected..). I hate to revel in the misfortunes of the cabbage victims but it was so entertaining. Surviving it was like surviving hell week. Cut the bombers down to size.

I heard about this from a coworker, so I had to do some googling. 

wyndham_clark.jpg?_t=1750082750

cropped-favicon-512x512-1-180x180.png Former U.S. Open champion accused of damaging historic Oakmont lockers

The incident marks the second time in two months that Wyndham Clark's name has been tied to major-championship mayhem.

Apparently, sources are saying he did bash in two lockers at Oakmont. If this is true, really bad form from Clark. You are a guest at Oakmont, and you basically destroy a member's locker.

Far worse happens fairly regularly. Which is not to excuse what he did, but… just to put it in a little context.

Money and luxurious lifestyle dont solve mental issues or correct bad personality traits. 
Some of these golfers have been treated with kid gloves all their lives. Their poor behavior was excused because they had talent or could win money.
And when a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences, they kick in locker doors simply because they did not perform well.

Not sure it is a spoiled brat, there are hyper competitive people who exhibit rage issues. It probably is more a genetic quality over environmental.

Not condoning and I'm sure there will be deserved consequences but please hold the virtue signalling. Not all poor behavior is born from entitlement.

Hit the driving range on lunch today. The LAB Putter Cult was going on and on at nauseum about that putt. They are 100% sure that the LAB putter is the reason he won the US Open. "When are you getting your LAB putter?" 😒

"JJ Spaun was unheard of before he got the LAB putter." 

"The LAB putter is the reason JJ Spaun won the US Open."

"Just watch, by the end of the year every PGA Tour pro will have a LAB putter." 

etc... etc... etc... 

I haven't seen this type of unconditional devotion to a club that will clearly change your game and save you strokes since the original "Hammer" ... POW! ... BOOM! ... WHAM! ....

Yea, it is a cult following. Especially with the YouTube golf personalities using them. They did great marketing in a space that not many other golf clubs are getting into yet. Especially for putters. 

I tried them out at Golf Galaxy before; I can't stand them look of them.

A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us!

I’m really glad he won now!

From Golf Digest

Quote

While Shane Lowry and Scottie Scheffler talked about spending the morning before winning majors wondering if they were worthy of the moment, Spaun was too busy running to CVS to help his younger daughter Violet to have a deep philosophical conversation with himself.

She had a stomach bug and was vomiting all night long,” Spaun said. “I was just like, ‘OK, my wife was up at 3 a.m., and she's like, Violet is vomiting all over. She can't keep anything down. It was kind of a rough start to the morning. I'm not blaming that on my start, but it kind of fit the mold of what was going on, the chaos.”

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      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.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
