It's a tough call but I gotta say probably miss the cut. I haven't notice Rocco's name up on any leader boards lately and he's not the longest guy in the world.

That being said, I hope he makes the cut!

He's probably going to miss the cut. I like Rocco but lets all be honest, I don't think any of us should be expecting him to contend again.

I love the guy and watching him last year was so fun, but realistically I just don't see him making it this year.

I think he will feed off the crowd for positive energy, and will make the cut and will have a respectable finish, but not in the top-10. I don't see him contending this year, given recent performance. It's too bad, because I really like him.

He's good enough to know how to make the cut. Here's to hoping he contends again! GET EM ROC!

i'm gonna say he'll miss the cut, but probably just barely. if he makes it, he'll be at the bottom. and not a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

So seeing that he nearly beat tiger last year sending him to sudden death and extra holes , do you think he has a shot this year?

Yes, he does. Forget the favorites and look for the "dark horse". Did anyone think Angel Cabrera was going to win at Oakmont? Did anyone think he was going to win at Augusta this year before the tournament began? The US Open rewards accuracy and super putting. If Tiger and Phil can be accurate, they have a chance but I do not think either of them will contend on the last 4 holes. Rocco came out of nowhere last year. Look for some one like that this year. The fans and media will surround the Stars, but someone "under the radar" may well walk off with the trophy. Remember---you read that here, based on Rocco's performance last year.

I dont think he makes the cut. He has all but vanished from the leaderboard since that tournament.

      Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.

      How To Properly Repair Ball Marks

      By WillieT ·

      Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….

      REESO VTX Putter

      By discap ·

      The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill

      Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.
