Yeah keep an open mind, I think you'll have a different take by the end of the week. Pebble and Spy are well cared for and a lot of money is spent on keeping them lush. Obviously with

Typical German. Blasts out of the gate and everyone considers surrendering, then he falters in the late campaigns. We just need some Brits, Frenchies, and Americans to come in and light that ass up.

The announcers were referring to themselves, vis-a-vis their butchering of the pronunciation of Andes Etchevarria's name.

Ah my bad. Sounded like they were talking about the playing group when I came in. That statement about Donald being number one "for about a minute" irked me. He was #1 for awhile no?

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

And he has an easy par-5 comin up. Brace yourselves boys....this lead is about to get massive

Yep. Minus nine and more to come. This is starting to remind me of 2000. The winning score was -12, but it wasn't that the course was too easy, because Woods won by 15. There's a long way to go, but Kaymer is impeccable so far. Personally I don't find it boring, I enjoy watching a top player operating at the height of his powers.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

https://twitter.com/BillyHo_Golf/status/477452255843471360 Pinehurst No. 2 right now is playing easier than Merion last yr. More rain fell last year than this year. Merion was 500 yards shorter too.

Duf just whacked an old guy with a quick snap hook. Duf signed his glove for him as they usually do, but he's lucky as hell that his ball deflected back in the fairway. That could have cost Dufner another shot if he wound up in the junk.

Kaymer drives the green on par 4 3rd hole (his 12th). Holy crap- he's separating further?

And he has an easy par-5 comin up. Brace yourselves boys....this lead is about to get massive

Yeah but he is also soon having to play the 7th hole today....you know the one hole that he bogied yesterday. I hope he can put that out of his mind and play well today.

Players play, tough players win!

Yeah kinda disappointing. I was really hoping for more bite from this course. And I know it's not playin easy easy, but it's not as demanding as it could be and most us opens are. I think the waste areas being so playable plus the fact they overwatered the course Wednesday night is leading to better scoring than their should be.

Just as a sideline, does anyone else agree that watching Keegan Bradley set up for a shot is absolute agony? If he gets any twitchier he'll get to the point at which he can't bring himself to actually hit the ball.

I crack up when he's just off the green. His pre-shot stance and twitches make him look like a LB in the NFL lol. Like he's ready to run up and hit it and race it to the hole.

Kaymer is double digits under par.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By pganapathy ·

      Our home course would be very interesting.  It is short from the black tees (around 6000 yards) and very few holes are considered not reachable in GIR for golfers who drive max 250 off the tee.  But there are two difficulties.  Only 3 holes don't have an OB though admittedly in some cases it is just behind the green.  The harder part is almost all the fairways slope away on both sides from the centre meaning if you hit a draw or fade, you are likely to wind up at the edge of the fairway or off into the rough if you bounce in the wrong place.

      Long Iron

      I assume the 3 iron in your iron set would do the job.  If you don't have the club, you should be able to buy it as a single club

      Day 45 (16 Jun 24) -  Happy Father's Day all - got in a few swings with the clubs, focused on alignment for chipping and pitching.  For me if the target it 12noon, I need to have my feet somewhere around 11 for a solid dead on line pitch/chip.  Worked from about 5yds out to 25yds.  Worked through a series of clubs - 54, PW, 8i and 6i - noting flight patterns of each.
