Wonder which countries have a Grand Slam now that Kaymer mentioned it. I would think the UK has a GS. Maybe Australia?


US, UK, South Africa, Australia are the only ones I can think of. Don't think Spain has a US Open. Germany missing Masters.

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.

Germany is missing the British Open. Langer has two Masters.

Usa, Australia, South Africa, England, and Scotland are the only ones I think. Spain is missing a Us Open, Germany missing British Open, and I think Northern Ireland doesn't have a masters. Does Argentina get there with Cabrera and De Vicenzo? Or no PGA?

De Vicenzo never won a U.S. PGA Championship. He won the Argentine one many time, and the Mexico one a few times, but never the U.S. one.

Oh ok because I knew he won the open at Liverpool, but wasn't sure about the PGA. Maybe Angel can get it done :) Unfortunately his best is T19 :(

He's fallen off the map,ranked 266 or something crazy like that. Only has one top 15 all year. Really disappointing I really like him, he's exciting to watch

Okay, so now that that's over, we can use this thread to discuss…

The 2014 U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst!

I'm looking for a Wie victory. The fairways are pretty wide, the native areas aren't too bad, and her length will be a plus, as well as the control she's found with her irons of late.

I'm calling it at -2. I wanted to say -6.

I agree with the Wie pick. Even when she's playing conservatively, she's one of the longest hitters out there. It wouldn't surprise me to see Ko take it either, or Thompson or Inbee or Stacy Lewis. The Kraft Nabisco was really awesome; I have high hopes for this one.

Inbee Park (as bad as it irks me to pick a short hitter). ;-) I hope Thompson wins though.

I'd like to see Michelle and Lexi paired in the last round. I'm split between those 2, although Michelle being a mostly west-coast gal, I'd pull a wee bit harder for her.

I've seen a few people comment on this being boring, but what exactly is making this boring? The fact that the winner is pretty much known? Would you have said the same about some of those Tiger blowouts?

Well, since you asked ;-)

They were no  Tigerlike fist pumps, loogy spits, club slams, or F-bombs dropped that I remember. Kaymer was just methodical in taking that course apart.

Tiger also has a way of dominating his opponents and intimidating a field like no other, something NBC would've brought up countless times if Tiger was doing what Kaymer did. :roll:

Then there is the Tiger highlight loop which they would've played every half hour or so....

It was definitely a different kind of golf telecast. I enjoyed it.

Highly boring. FF'd through most of it, stopped, saw Kaymer up by 8, deleted. Would've watched a Tiger, Phil, Rory, Speith blowout but Marty K? All congrats to him but unwatchable. Bet ratings very, very low. Interested in the ladies this week though.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.
