Let's have a little fun and make up some prop bets for this year's U.S. Open. Prop bets can be about whatever you'd like - Tiger, the course, the field, the fans, the announcers… the scores, anything.

You can assign odds, make them an over/under, etc. Have some fun with it.

For example…

1/3 - Odds Tiger talks about "patterns".

3/1 - Odds Tiger is around to talk about "patterns" on the weekend.

1/1 - Odds Rory beats Jordan. Or vice versa.

Over/under 5.5: How many times Tiger will say during the week in interviews he got stuck between patterns

Over/under: 30.5: How many times Fox will try and promote FoxSports 1 Sports shows during the week (given the fact no one really watches them compared to SportsCenter).

Over/under 3.5: How many times Ian Poulter will go on twitter and whine about Chambers Bay.

Over/under 5 hours, 10 minutes: Longest round of golf (because with the length and difficulty of this course, there are going to be some long ones).

Over/under 1.5:  Times per hour Greg Norman figures out a way to bring himself into the conversation

Over/under 1/5:  Times Joe Buck accidentally calls Norman "Troy."

25/1:  Odds Fox will have a "Robot Golfer" graphic.

500/1:  Odds that one of their drones will be "shot down" by a golf ball.

Over/Under 11.5......How many times BallStriker will make a post US Open weekend leading with "Hey, I played this course a few weeks ago and I can tell you........"

Over/Under 4.....Number of players that finish under par

Over/Under 5:22......Average length of a competitive round during rounds 1 and 2 (gonna be SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW)

Tiger will mention he's got his EXPLOSIVENESS back 11 times after he has a good first round, then proceeds to miss the cut.

3 to 1 someone yells "Mashed Potatoes" after Bubba Watson hits a drive.

10 to 1 Joe Buck says there's no place for that in golf even though he's giggling to himself off camera.

30 to 1 Greg Norman says it reminds him of how delicious the mashed potatoes are in his new steakhouse in Melbourne.

And there will be 23 additional articles written by pretentious writers shunning Chambers Bay as not a "True" links course.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By yungbuck6 ·

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
