Just loving the fact it's a links course for a US Open!

On a side note, anyone else having problems with the "Featured Group" Live Feed on the USGA website? Plays for a minute then goes down..


No problem at my end with stream, surprisingly I've got it on the smart TV.

Was watching it earlier on the tablet with no problem.

Maybe try clearing your cache history.

BTW, does anyone know of FoxSports will be streaming starting 12 EDT or will it just be on tv?

If you are having problems with the USGA stream and using IE.....try switching to Chrome....worked for me.

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

There was a stone in the bunker...(?)

He was holding two fingers up though...

Joe Buck must be out of shape.  Yeah, Cole Hammer is young.  But he jogged swiftly for about 25 yards.  Like that shit requires Olympian level fitness.

Molinari takes a commanding lead in the "dungeon" 12 over.

Go figure, I gave him the curse having him as my starter this week in Fantasy Golf.

Front nine playing a stroke tougher than the back nine so far: 36.6 to 35.6 (both par 35).

Toughest hole is #7 averaging 4.7 as a 515yd par 4. By contrast, #8 is averaging only 4.8 as a 602yd par 5.

Easiest stretch seems to be 12-15, playing a tad under par for that stretch. (0.35 under par as a group of 4 holes, but the entire course is playing +2 average).

I'm actually enjoying the Fox coverage so far.. didn't really know what to expect.

Yup ... usopen.com on my computer (using Chrome as well) and the US Open App on my phone, and so far (knock on wood) there have been no issues for me. :)

Since marijuana is legal in WA state (i think) is there any prohibition on US Open players smoking/using the stuff, either on or off the course?  And since this is not a  PGA tourney, what are the rules guiding 'drug' use at the Open?

The official answer seems to be, [URL=http://thesmokersclub.kinja.com/golfers-patrons-can-bring-weed-into-the-u-s-open-bu-1712241445]"don't worry about it (but don't you dare bring in bottled water)."[/URL]

Yeah, it's not bad. They're making a few mistakes here and there. Buck and Norman sound a little rusty at times, but as long as they show golf and show different players, I'm happy.  I love all the different angles on the course.

    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
