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?!?

      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
