Just some of my take: I was there Wednesday and yesterday, stood right next to Colin Montgomery for a little while by 9 green and he is A LOT less heavy in person than he appears on tv. It was od

My dad picked up me up at 9am this morning.  We wanted to wait until rush hour had died down.  Today, no parking pass.  So we parked at the Pittsburgh Mills mall and took the shuttle to Oakmont. I mea

Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

Thinking this weather stoppage is a crock of crap.Earlier there was supposed lightning around and they were people ou putting on green and spectators sitting in stands no rain.I come home for lunch and they stop play.I get home from work see one shot and boom another stoppage.

Heading home from Oakmont right now. Most people leaving as it looks as if they're done for the day. If they do play anymore, it wont be for a few more hours. Officials on site told us theyd be surprised if they play anymore.Will throw out some observations later.

Actually, that storm blew through faster than they thought ... they're actually back on the course now and they expect to be able to play the rest of the day.

She looks more plastic like as time passes. In a couple years they can just put her on a stick like a mannequin.

So, who's in better shape: the players who didn't make it out today who are looking at 36 holes tomorrow, or the players who did make it out today, will finish their rounds in the morning, and may be playing 36 holes on Saturday?

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
