I'm not sure that I would have the Open at Chambers Bay again or not. I think it was a cool venue overall, but it definitely had it's share of problems. I don't think that it was a good thing that so much of the course couldn't be accessed by spectators. However, I like that new courses are being used for the open instead of a rotation of the same ones over and over. This country has an abundance of great courses of all different styles and I think that our national championship should show off that variety.

Yes, but with an improved television presentation, please. The tournament itself I thought was fun.

I said no, I don't want to see two British Opens in a row.

Royal Liverpool didn't play like a British Open last year, so maybe they'll put it the same year as that to accommodate you.

So I'd change my vote to; No, if you have to kill the course to play an event on it then it shouldn't be played there

If that's a recent photo, the course clearly wasn't killed.

That was my thought too. Looks like they've started watering the fairways more and they've come back from dormancy.

The real question is, should the US Open go back to Fox Sports? And the answer to that question is "no" (I know they have a huge contract, though, sadly)

Voted yes in the poll; couldn't have asked for a more exciting finish. Oosthuizen really lit it up the final three days; too bad he stunk it up on the first day.

I voted yes because I thought the course was challenging enough to provide a real test for the Pros. Maybe a little tricked up to be a true links course, but still very entertaining for the viewer and tough for players used to point and shoot golf.

Admittedly the greens were not as smooth as typical PGA greens. Looked as if sheep and goats had been grazing thereon! :-P

I voted yes.  Say, in another 10 years or so, once the course is a little more seasoned, they can figure out how to improve fan accommodations, and above all get their greens figured out.  I didn't mind that the course was a little unconventional for US Open standards.  Enjoyed seeing the players be tested, and at the end of the tournament, the winner was just a few under par.  That's how it's supposed to be.

Particularly enjoyed watching the prime time East coast coverage - not FOX, but that's another can of worms.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      Here's the thing, the Rules are fine here, the problem is at the local Committee (or lack of Committee) level.  The basic Rule is appropriate for most Temporary Water in a Bunker situations.  Indeed, it offers a bit more flexibility than the Rule for Temporary Water in the General Area offers, in that you're allowed to find the Point of Maximum Available Relief, instead of requiring Complete Relief.  And for more unusual circumstances, the Rules offer an alternative in for form of a Model Local Rule.  They don't want every single player to have the authority to claim "I have no possible relief in this bunker, I'll just take it out for free", they want that authority to be at a higher level. I speak only for myself, but the more I learn about the Rules, the more I respect the way they've been put together, and the consistency of concepts throughout.  Its easy to single out one rule in isolation that you dislike, but when you see how the rules fit together as a whole things often make a lot more sense.  No doubt, Rules should be reviewed and improved, really smart people are continually doing just that, looking for cracks and loopholes.  But the changes that actually happen are really tested to see if they actually improve things, change for the sake of change just isn't going to happen.

      By DeadMan ·

      Are you on the app or on the website? On the website, if you go to the performance tab, you can navigate with the side menu to see more detailed information. On those pages, you can switch between strokes gained and standard stats. You can see things like strokes gained from 50-100, 100-150, etc., strokes gained on lengths of putts. You can switch to standard information and see make rates on putt lengths. There's a good amount there to shape your practice. I don't use the app for this, so I can't help with that.

      Water in Bunker

      By klineka ·

      Temporary grandstands are in the general area though, a bunker is not so your relief options are different.  I don't really understand what is so difficult about this.  You should be more upset with whoever organizes/runs your league for not implementing GUR, not the rule itself. Especially since this is a league and if it's at the same course every time it's likely that this isn't the first time the bunker has filled up completely with water.

      By klineka ·

      Not sure if this is best to post here or start a new thread but I'm curious which stats you pay most attention to/how you utilize Shot Scope's data/charts to drive your improvement/practice?   I have 81 holes in Shot Scope now so starting to get a decent sample size of data about my game. I can obviously see the strokes gained numbers but I'm not quite sure where to go from there in terms of how to assess what specifically I need to work on.  Obviously it's approaches and short game for me, but when I go into those tabs on the left for those specific areas, I'm not quite sure how to use the information to make it actionable in my practice.
