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.

One quirk I've noticed is that they seem to have a little more trouble trying to figure out the wind here, because they can't get a read from the flags.

Yelling helps others identify you as one of the lesser intelligent pundits of society. You should be glad they yell it, it helps you avoid them...

First World Problem mini mini rant:

So all the big tech companies have all this info on me and yet when I search on US Open, I still get the tennis tournament at the top of my results, despite not following tennis and not having bought US Open Tennis tickets since forever.

Getting off soapbox now, thank you for listening. :-) Tiger Woods to serve...

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

My understanding is that you must replace it.

So you think that there's a possibility that if you hit a ball a foot from the hole and your partner's ball hits yours OB you don't replace it? Common sense.

I feel so sorry for the people who worked so hard to get the course ready for the U.S.Open and those who campaigned for a return to Merion.

The rain has softened the course so much that it is defenceless and the low scores are making a mockery of this grand old lady. Shame on the USGA for allowing her to be exposed like this.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Shorty, come on now? I think by Sunday the course will dry out and those greens are already getting faster, even today.

I'm thinking surely his post was sarcasm...there are only two players under par right now, and they've got a lot of golf left today.

But half of the field is 10 under or better.

Maybe my post was sarcasm too? You didn't pick up on that? LOL

Exactly! Seriously, who do these people think they are. You can't call up the NHL or the NFL when a ref misses a call and complain... let alone change the outcome. And it's absolutely absurd the they are even fielding these calls and discussing them with the players.

Next there'll be threads here where someome notices that they saw a player putting with the flag in 40 years ago.

Or say they are "pretty sure" they saw someone mark his ball when it was off the green.

Or say "i might be wrong but I'm sure I just saw player x ground his club in the bunker".

Or wonder about Petterson's situation......

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
