Has anyone here participated in an Open?

[Guest ShadowXOR]

I know there are some scratch golfers around here and I'm curious to hear from anyone who has participated in an Open. How did you do? Did you enjoy it? I would love to hear general thoughts and stories. If anyone is close to being eligible for the Open and considering joining I would love to hear from you as well.

Im assuming youre talking about the US Open, and im gonna take a guess and say nobody here has played in one. You gotta do better then scratch to qualify into that monster.

Well from what I read you qualify for the Open and U.S. Open as long as you are a scratch golfer. And I meant either one.

I think you need a 2 handicap or better. If I get close enough to scratch I might give it a shot, but that's not for at least another few years. Assuming I keep improving...

I believe 1.4 is the upper limit to enter qualifying

I missed the first stage by one or two shots (I dont remember which) the only time I tried.

Git-R-Done will be the marquee attraction at next years US Open, I hear he wants a Green jacket from the Masters as well

Well you qualify to try to qualify.Im sure theres a thousand golfers that can get that far. If youve ever seen the winning scores of the qualifying tourneys for the US Open and Open though then you know youll never see a scratch or two handicap competing in the actual opens.

You were born in 1984, live in Canada, and your handicap here is listed as 7. So what's up?

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Wait...

Didn't he already win the Masters?

Might I be joking?

[Dyna]

Wait...

That was so last year, next year he's going for the hat trick

[iacas]

OK. I thought you might be doing that, but why? It's not very funny.

You know, if GitrDone's going to be scratch in one year, doesn't that mean I won the Grand Slam three years in a row?

I've tried qualifying twice. Haven't made it yet. Looking forward to trying again this year.

LOL! I think you may have mis-understood!
