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'm so rooting for Day, but I just can't help be in awe if Rory keeps this up.

Day looks like he is struggling a bit.......maybe just trying to take it extra-slow, but what a shame he is dealing wwith this

Why are we getting a split screen of Rory's shot and Jason Day walking, Fox?

EDIT--Uh, it's still going.  Maybe another technical glitch?

EDIT--I guess this is to show how long Day's walk is. Kind of dumb.

I know,  Makes no sense.  Fox's whole coverage has been glitchy, nicest I can put it.

Pathetic move by Fox. They are watching Day walk the long path between holes. Hoping he falls?! What is the point.

I'm not ;)

Umm, slow play isn't isolated to the US Open ;) Its an issue on any tournament.

The course isn't unplayable. Heck there has been a lot more golf courses in the past that have played much harder.

Winning Score

Merion: +1

Olympic club: +1

Pebbly Beach: E

Oakmont: +5

Winged Foot: +5

This course has been very playable. You just have to know how to play it. You just can't play your typical, "I'll take dead aim with high ball flight and have the ball stop with in 30 FT from the pin." In some cases just hitting the green isn't a good shot. If you miss it left and you KNOW that hitting it left of the pin will get you a 60 yard pitch shot, don't hit it left of the pin. It's not a good shot.

I am putting this course on my bucket list. It looks fantastic. Country Club golf is just boring.


Great post!  The people on this forum that are bitching about Chambers Bay. Are really showing their golf intelligence. Here is a novel idea for the haters, don't watch it if it's not enough Country club for you.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By TapOut64 ·

      Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
