It will be good to see him back out on the course, but I honor what he has done for his wife. I hope he bring the course and competitors to their knees.

She seems like the type to say, "Phlillip, you get out there and get us a US Open."

Seeing him play may help her mentaly more than him staying back. He took time off to help her and I'm sure it is at a point where things are ok enough that he can focus on this for a little while.

The fans at The Black will give him a hero's welcome. NY loves Phil. If he wins it they will go beserk!

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Being a big Phil fan I am excited he is playing, but I don't think he'll even be a factor other than a few sentimental words and a pink ribbon.

Hopefully Amy will beat this thing and next year Phil can find some magic and add a major or two.

yeah, i agree. as much as i like phil...he really has a lot on his plate mentally to focus for such a task. but if he should win.......it may just be the best US Open victory..IMO

I agree with you. He has many fans in the metropolitan New York area, and they will be thrilled. The US Open is always exciting any way, but this makes it very, very exciting.

Why? He's barely taken a break. He's playing the week before. Amy's illness seems to have been initially thought to be much worse than it is (hopefully so), so Phil's basically playing a normal schedule. He's missed one tournament he'd normally play: Colonial. And he contended last time at Bethpage.

In other words, why won't he be a factor? It's an opinion, and you're entitled to it, but it strikes me as a silly one given the facts of the situation.

I'm not disagreeing with you - but asking - why is he so popular in NY? He's a native Califiornian. Is there some NY connection?

The crowds in New York really took to him the last time the Open was at Bethpage. There was a bit of "Phil-Mania" going on. Plus, he has stated on many occassions how much he loves New York and comes here a few times a year. IIRC, I believe in Golf Digest he stated how he and Amy were house shopping in the Hamptons and have thought about living here part of the year.

Have you seen recently. I don't think I would call him fat by any means. He is in better shape than 95% of Americans and as good as shape as 95% of the PGA tour members.

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..

      In that case I double down on my comments - I'll take the single guy and I know if I'm in that match against two similar players I'm pretty confident that I'm the favorite.

      Cheers gbogey. The single player can hit 2 balls every shot and take the best ball, and then hit 2 balls from that spot, so your second scenario...

      Day 119: played 18. Played the back really well after I got @iacas’s advice through my thick skull. Fun round, fun trip, fun company.
