Until your YouTube account is limited for copyright violations.

Yeah, I've been flagged for putting up the opening credits of tournament broadcasts so I deleted them but they haven't flagged the close up high frame rate videos. Yet. :-)

How do they limit your account?

No unlisted videos, no longer than 15 minute videos, some other things. If you get two or three strikes they can just close your account. Others are limited for 6 months or so.

6 months in the doghouse? That's harsh. I'll delete any offending vids right away. Kaymer carrying two 3 irons. http://mobile.golfweek.com/news/2014/jun/14/martin-kaymer-us-open-2014-golf-equipment-3-irons/?templates=mobile

Rooting for Rickie today. Good for the game. But it's Kaymer's to lose, and I highly doubt he will.

Kaymer is killing people with the long par putts.

He's making all the putts that many of the people you spoke to a few months ago think they make regularly. ;-)

Fowler skulling the ball over the green?  That was hilarious, the announcers and crowd act like someone just slapped a baby.

Don't you know that everyone has a 90% make percentage on par putts over 10 feet, which rises to 95% when the putt is longer than 20 feet. It's like how everyone can carry it 308 onto the third green like Kaymer did, but with a 3-wood instead (and theirs would hit a slope and spin back in for a hole in one like that one guy said). Also, that was an unfortunate shot by Ricky Fowler when he caught it clean on his third while he meant to hit a bunker shot. [quote name="ChrisP" url="/t/74727/2014-u-s-open-at-pinehurst-2-discussion-thread/630#post_1005624"]I don't know if they ever showed a graphic for this, but has there ever been a golfer to win on Mother's Day and Father's Day in the same year? [/quote] Nobody has, because they talked about nobody winning the Player's and the US Open in the same year. The Players usually ends on Mother's Day if I remember correctly. If not, I am completely wrong and apologize for the misinformation.

aA great lesson today for all those people who say they always hit their wedge from around the green. Kaymer eliminates the skull or chunk with his putter. Smart play and proof that lowest score comes from smartest play.

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

Rickie has put himself in contention before but has had bad final rounds. That's the reason why I wasn't very optimistic about him today. Reminds me of Sergio on Sundays.

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
