I'd like at my take of the event from a spectators point of view. I'm between a 9-12 index depending.... and play about 100 rounds a year. I've been in person to about 15 PGA events. I have never b

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

I think Weiskoph is incorrect. It almost sounds like people don't want to claim any course not over in the UK as a links course. Like it tarnishes the game of golf or something of that sort.

I think it's more of a hybrid. Links courses don't have the elevation changes and the greens are more "perched" than the typical links course so we're seeing more balls landing/flying to the hole than running.

Lol typical Bubba.

In his defense, waiting on a hole for 30 minutes is pathetic golf.

I'm on Bubba's side here. That long of a wait is totally ridiculous.

The strategy to win at Pinehurst was to stay in the middle of the course, be patient, and maximize the scoring opportunities you get. Nothing I've seen from Chambers Bay so far suggests there's a surefire "safe" strategy that will lead to birdies, especially if the course dries out and/or the wind picks up through the weekend.

Well if Dustin putts like he has today the rest of the week, he has a great chance of winning this thing. The putter is the part of his game that has kept him from winning majors. Outside of that this course is suited for him. Same goes for Rory, but his putter is horrible today.

Bubba Watson is a little salty.

I'm wondering if the slowness of this round will lead to some negativity about Chambers Bay. So far, it's near universal praise and hope that the course will stand up well.

That was bubba on mic after he hit weak approach on 18 short left. He was pissed he waited a long time for that result.

Par-5 coming up for DJ. Who would have thought someone may go 63 on this course....or dare I say, the all-time record, 62? Reminds me a little of Whistling Straits when everyone said +10 would be the winning score and then the players torched the place. Not "torching" this place but going lower than anyone thought so far.

Well it was a mining pit, that they brought in a shit ton of dirt to fill and remake, so it's not technically "links land" at all, really.

In his defense, waiting on a hole for 30 minutes is pathetic golf.

He didn't wait 30 minutes. Maybe 10, and he went for it in two.

Dammit I wish we could post Vines on here. That Dustin Johnson tee shot from a few minutes ago was nuts.

I did chuckle at someone heckling Bubba as an amateur. Probably the perfect comment to get under his skin.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
