Which, by the way, was once allowed. Not sure when the rule change happened, but here's a pic of Tommy Bolt at the 1958 US Open (which he won):

Landing area on #16. The fairway bamks up to the right but it is very narrow and nobody will try to hit it up there. It's a short iron over the quarry to the hole, so they will most probably play shor

The ridiculous thing is not that Phil is flying back for his daughter's 8th grade graduation, it is that her school is even HAVING an 8th grade graduation.  Alas this is becoming far too common.

LOL....actually, I am about as big of PMick fan as there is....just that those first couple of tee balls were a bit skanky...maybe a bit of reverse jinx psychology??

Not saying he'll win. There's a lot of tough golf left. But the field is sliding back steadily toward Tiger. He's T16 at the moment. Was T 50 something this morn...

I think even par should be a solid round for Saturday and Sunday. Only a hand full of players shot under par today. One of the reasons why I like the US Open.

I never understood why commentators and such thought Marion was going to get massacred. It didn't make much sense too me, especially considering how high the rough was going to be and the speed of the greens.

Also, it's the US Open, for Christs sake. Mike Davis would import deadly animals and sic them on the players if he could.

You pin the marker down by placing three tees around it so that it can't move with wind or anything else.

Just watching the end of Phil's round, what a competitor!  Great to see him playing well and also good to see Merion is playing tough.

ESPN, Enough with the interviews of the USGA guy or the grounds keeper guy or some other random guy we don't care about!  We want to see golf, not three bald guys talk about Merion.  If you really want to talk, show players golfing while you talk.

Okay this is stupid -

They got Rich Lerner on TGC reporting live next to the 18th green, just pontificating about Merion. He has to keep his voice down as players are nearby on the green....

How about MOVING AWAY FROM THE GREEN?!?

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
