Yeah. The USGA should be able to accurately predict the local weather on the first day of the Open five years in advance, when they award the Open to courses.

Or, just stick to areas that are void of potential rainfall and severe weather. Use your head, zip!

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.

When I was watching that video of the 2008 playoff, at one point I thought, "Why don't they just play all U.S. Opens in SoCal?" I was being a bit facetious, but it would make the weather thing a bit easier.

Weren't there some weather concerns last year too? I remember it being really foggy and was thinking there were rain delays or some kind of weather concern.

understood, but people associate bad experiences with their choices, weather or not they were out of their control.

California...big difference ;-)

That's what they get for holding it on the least coast.

Looks like Tiger's group must be marquee group #2...although they likely won't get the coverage times right with all of these delays.

Ha! In an AOP meeting all day.  Can't even surf the web (except now at lunch).  And dinner tonight so won't even catch it then.  Wonder if Board would consider changing year ends for that?

      Day 1 - First chipping and pitching. Focus on a better grip, the fundamentals and taking the club back on plane, not outside. Feels good. Then some full swings. Focus on improving the setup. Weight more forward, more bent over, and same grip stuff.

      Congrats on the improvement. Cheers for lots of continued improvement in the future. IMO you've gotta get away from these spots… Those are partly "results" as the work will begin on things earlier in the swing. Good luck.

      Evolution of a golf swing.  Thanks to all who encouraged and supported the effort -- I wouldn't have made it this far without you!  Still a long way to go but the journey is half the fun! 🙂
