Congratz @RandallT & @nevets88!

You guys did a great job!

Thanks!

But we have some work to do to polish our coverage.  I just reviewed the thread for that final day, and while we definitely had a blast with the matches going back and forth all day long (but staying roughly tied once the West caught up on the Singles matches front 9), my final post at the culmination of the drama could have used some improvement: "Holy crap. Now need to go to dinner with family..." Don't think Johnny Miller has ever said that upon the winning stroke of a US Open.

"Do you believe in miracles???!!!" it was not! :doh: Doubt Greg is too worried about job security at this point.

Anyway, I'm reviewing my driver fitting session from last year, and it seems I was definitely steered toward regular flex shafts, and I'm surprised I ended up with a 9.5 degree TaylorMade SLDR (considering they seemed so big on higher loft angles and I was replacing an old 10.5 degree driver). I'll likely post some thoughts around that over in my "My Swing" thread, to let this thread finish up. Join me there, if you have any interest at all or viewpoints in how to select the specs on a G30 driver.

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
