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.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
