Best of luck to both of you. My goal is to get to the point where I can think about qualifying without laughing out loud. I'm looking forward to hearing how it went. For now I want to concentrate on trying to play in a Net Amateur event this year. There is a Net Match Play in Michigan that looks pretty good. I'm the knid of player that can shoot a decent round and have one blow up ruin it. In match play that's just one lost hole.

Well seeing as I haven't turned in my application yet, lol, im not sure. I'm going for Columbus hopefully b/c I don't want to have to drive more than an hour there 2 days in a row. Hopefully it hasn't filled up yet.

Good Luck modeldude!

I had a practice round today at the course I'm playing. Crystalaire CC. 131 slope, 72.8 rating. The slope seemed fair, the rating may be a stroke too high. Anyway.

Missed about 5 putts, but, they were missable-makeable putts, so I'm not that bent out of shape about that. Couldn't get off the tee for poop. These holes set up a little wierd for my eyes. The majority of the time you were hitting into slightly elevated fairways. I'm not too keen on that. Iron shots were so-so. But I got the job done and shot one under. The magic number? I'm thinking 7 under is going to take it. I don't know how many get passed the regional rounds, but I hope it's not one player per course.

I'd be willing to do something in such a case, certainly!

Well, all I could manage was a 3 over 75... Certainly not what I was expecting, but, under the circumstances. I am really quite happy with the round.

This was my first time trying, and my first real "tournament" round since high school (10 years ago). I didn't let anything fluster me, played within myself, didn't worry about the others I was playing, and most importantly, didn't blow up and shoot in the 90s. hahaha.

The greens were the real downfall. In my threesome, there was only one birdie. I made it... on the 18th hole. Those greens were super tricky to read. I two putted all but 2 greens.

67 was the low, there were a few 68s, and a bunch of 69s. They took 6 spots.

If there's one bit of advice I could pass along. Be aggresive with your putts early on. I got a little defensive with my putts in the middle of my round and it burnt me. GOOD LUCK!

yeah, good luck neudi, you're representing the sandtrap now
too bad Ben, but as you said - 75 on unknown course, probably set up a bit tougher too is nothing to be ashamed of... it's only a few putts away, you'll get it next time

I think her 72 was a condition of a few things: 1) tough winds, 2) smaller field. Not many people are willing to pay to fly to Hawaii to attempt to local qualify for the U.S. Open.

The course isn't that hard - it's the Palmer Course at Turtle Bay. That's the same course that hosted Big Break V...

      2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst

      May I just say that these are insightful and extremely pertinent observations. I think it is fair to be skeptical of almost anything involving a celebrity. Or that is posted on YouTube - for example, many of the “heart-warming” animal rescue videos are obviously staged. We are supposed to believe that people just happened to be ready to shoot professional quality video when they spotted that puppy? Ridiculous. And AI is only going to make all of this much, much worse.  A lot of the post-Open praise for Bryson seems to be along the lines of, not so much what a great guy he is, but what a savvy user of media tools and what an efficient self-brander he has become. I suppose this makes sense because a lot of people have goals in that direction.

      Rule Change on Incorrect Scorecard

      By DaveP043 ·

      As I understand it, the score is considered "returned" when the 15 minute period has elapsed AND the player has left the scoring area.  That's the way I read the abbreviated explanation you quoted, but I haven't read the complete official wording.   I don't know the details of the "scoring system" or what it means by the score being "validated".  As you and I both know, its the detailed wording of the rule that matters, not the press release summarizing the changes.  This complication is one reason I'd resist making the change, rules in general should be as simple as possible, and this change makes it much more complicated in my mind.   That it happened to a "star" is what made it important to them.  If it happens to a nobody, there would be no change.  Or if it happened to a "villain", think Patrick Reed before he left for LIV, nobody would care.  Its not "who often", its "who".

      Rule Change on Incorrect Scorecard

      By GolfLug ·

      Matt, all of the above requirements to certify the scores and steps of any changes still stand. A DQ is very much in effect for not meeting any of them after the 15 extra minutes to use an honest eraser (EDIT: with the marker's agreement) if necessary.
