Don't be surprised if Tiger replicates another 2000 performance. Based on the scores this morning, i have to believe it gives him some confidence to see players struggling. He just needs to forget his driver and go 3 wood this entire weekend.

hopefully he'll leave it at home.

No point having it in the bag tempting him. As long as he can go around playing safe and picking up a birdie or two along the way he'll do great.

With Phil, I am not surprised he's on a train wreck. No matter what, it is always exciting to see Phil play...

Well, +3 at the US Open isn't exactly a train wreck...yet ;). He's still only 5 shots back and has had some looks at birdie over the past few holes. Granted, they were from some precarious positions on the approach shots

Okay, so Choi is now -3 and Phil is +4. Maybe he is on his way to a train wreck? Brandon

For his sake, I hope he literally leaves the driver at home. It is so firm out there that he just does not need it.

They have it on the website? For The Players it was prominately displayed on their "Video" section, if they also have the US Open, I don't see it.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
