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

3 putt !?!?!  Holy cow - I never saw that coming.  As he was walking up to the putt I actually said to my wife . . "McIlroy or Woods, in this position, would drop the 12 footer . . .XYZ (pick your favorite Sunday collapser . .I won't mention who I said just because it doesn't matter) would 3 putt it and lose. Let's see what kind of golfer DJ really is".  But I was not expecting him to 3 putt it!  It was almost as if he just couldn't stand the idea of winning.  I still won't consider DJ an "epic collapser" - at least not yet - but, man . . .that was an epic collapse.

To be fair to Buck, "Bob Jones" is what it said on the graphic. Still, that means Fox's infographic man assigned to the U.S. Open had no idea who Bobby Jones is, which is bad enough.

Bob Jones is what he preferred later on, So Joe wasn't that far off. I've actually heard different commentators in different eras call him both Bobby Jones and Bob Jones? What does my distant cousin have anything to do with Joe Buck?

Personally, I think DJ wanted no part of a playoff... I think after he missed the eagle putt, he kinda mentally checked out... I think he could've been safer with the eagle putt though... I think he had a brain fart on 18 that cost him another chance tomorrow...

As Johnson set up for the birdie putt to force a playoff, I said to my wife "I sure wish he'd miss this, but I know he won't - not from that distance".  Imagine my surprise. :-)

I was glad to see Spieth win it.  What a great finish (unless you're Dustin Johnson, I guess).  I thought it was kind of a punk move by Johnson to pack up and leave town without attending the awards or doing any interviews.  Makes him look like a big baby on top of being a choker.  Stand up like a man and take your medicine.  Sure it hurts - but you're still getting paid a nice chunk of change for T2, so suck it up.

Looked like Johnson didn't show up at the ceremony for his silver medal. Figures. Just as well.

> Spieth isn't arrogant. Not one bit of what he said was cocky.

Yes. I heard the interview after the win. No way is he cocky. In fact, he was still in shock over how he won. The only thing I hear Jordan keep saying is that he's not in the same league yet as Rory and that he hopes at some point he will be and will be #1. Is he confident? I would assume so. Is he arrogant, no. I don't think so.

As much as I love Rory, I think Jordan is great for the game of golf and one heck of a great player and comes across as a nice guy.

I did like how Spieth dodged the question about the course when Joe Buck asked him what he thought of the golf course now that he had won. He talked about how great the fans were but did not say anything about the course. I wonder if everyone will remember this Open as "the one that Jordan won and no one liked the course" or "the one that Dustin Johnson choked and three putted the 18 hole (on the course no one liked)"? On the plus side, at least an American won the U.S. Open.

Gotta love Jordan what a fine young man. So what does he do to attain such an uncomplicated, simple swing. His grip looks weak to me.

Amazing how fast the story can change. After 17 it was going to be about Jordan's collapse, missing a short bogey putt. He was fortunate to have one hole left to rebound.

Never use a paragraph when a sentence will do.

I watched (on TV) Spieth knock his birdie putt in on 18 and then had to head into work. Luckily I have the PGA Tour on XM (which has really good LIVE commentary) and I listened to DJ's collapse. Although I wanted Jordan to win, I really feel for Dustin, heartbreak once again. I was hoping for at least a monday playoff. Just wasn't in the cards. I assume he'll be able to bounce back easily, hopefully.

Billy Ho said this course wasn't fair to great putters. Spieth and Sneds are decent putters. ;)


When I saw that putt of Snedeker's jump a foot into the air, I was thinking maybe Horschel had a point ...

I think that was a pitch mark he hit that he didn't see.

Some nice comments from DJ.

"I'm proud of the way I played and I'm most proud of my family," Johnson said outside the locker room. "So I did get to hold up my trophy at the end of the day, which is my son."

More whining from Poulter.

http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/2015-us-open-ian-poulter-rips-usga-rant-accuses-them-lying-about-green-condition

Quote:
By Brendan Mohler

After cleaning up a final-round 77 for an 11-over tournament total of 291, Ian Poulter became the latest and probably the angriest player to rip the USGA for the condition of Chambers Bay’s greens.

Poulter posted the following photo on Instagram along with a 327-word caption in which he accuses the USGA of lying about the conditions of the greens.

Among the highlights: “I feel sorry for the hundreds of greens staff who spent countless hours leading into this week and this week doing their best to have it the best they could and I thank them for that.” Read the rest below:

I kinda got that sense from him at the end when he walked off the green and grabbed his son. Ear-to-ear smile. Glad he's in a better place than he has been.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image):

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
