On Tuesday I took a few quickie hand-held panoramic type shots. Have a look. Here they are:

Those are awesome. Oakmont is my 2nd favorite course right behind Bethpage. I like seeing the persons view of it all.

Nice pictures Erik!

The spot where you captured the 17th hole was not too far from where Furyk 'lost' it on Sunday. I spent two hours on Saturday in the 18th tee grandstand (with a great view of 17th green). It was sad to see how it emptied out so quick once Tiger tee'd off (given that there were still a number of groups to finish).

Are you going to do a full pictorial review for Oakmont (like the one you did for the Memorial)?

Probably not. I tried to attend the Open primarily as a fan, and only took the camera two days.

Just signed up for the forum, iacas, so only just saw your photgraphs. To someone like me, who's stuck over on the other side of the Atlantic and will probably nver see Oakmont for myself, your pics made me feel I was right there, which is what I love about the Internet.

I had to smile, as well, because I did a piece on my blog a couple of weeks ago, linking to a collection of Oakmont photographs taken by the staff of Golf Course Industry magazine that make the place look about as appealing as a horse paddock. You should ask them for a job...

    • Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.
    • Day 42 (19 Apr 26) - Spent a bit of time working on maxing torso rotation…hit a few pitches to help reinforce. 
    • Thanks - that was a total surprise…

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
