First post, hopefully this is the right section to post.

I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I could find a rebroadcast/recording of the 2004 US open? I vaguely remember watching it with my dad but just reading some articles lately has made me want to go back and watch the whole thing start to finish. Thanks!

Yes, that should work.

I should have that round already digitized... but I'm not sharing my Sports library right now, as the Plex MetaData directory is taking up a ton of space on my local C: drive (and I've tried moving it over to another drive, but things didn't work out so greatly).

I have ordered another SSD though as my main C: drive, and hope to have it installed very shortly and afterwards I will be sharing everything again, including golf clips, as well as about 160 Michael Jordan games.  So "Stay Tuned" as they say.

I have partial second round, partial 3rd and most of 4th round. I've been looking for the 2006 Open for 9 years. Missed that an entire Open because I was at OCS. Saw the last round, though, on Golf's greatest rounds a few times, though.

Is there any way you could send those to me? I'd love to see anything that anybody has.

If I find them I'll p.m. you. They're on VHS and I have to dig them up and not sure where they are but I'll try looking for them this weekend and then convert it to DVD.

Invite resent!

I remember that Open like it was yesterday.  It was my first year of golfing (which I shot an 85 once).  Me and my buddy came back from golfing at Rockway, a local favourite course, and then threw 5 chicken breasts on the grill and went to town on some great chicken fajitas!

Seems like yesterday, that's for sure.

Thanks! I was watching the Open last week and trying to remember which open it was that also had the insane green conditions, and now I just have a strange urge to watch the hilarity from 2004!

No problem.

I'm off next week, and will be doing a lot of golfing, but I hope to install the new SSD early next week (and hopefully all goes well), and then I'll add my Sports library to Plex.

Any updates?

I'm hoping to try to install it tomorrow after golf... did you accept my invite request, I don't think you did.  The other libraries are up.

I'm also rendering the 2008 US Open highlight package from a DVD I bought... that'll be up there too.

Still looking for my VHS. I know I have them, I just have to find them and then I have to find the VHS/DVD Recorder.

Just accepted it again, thanks! Can't wait to watch the open.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
