What they should do is not let the course dry out so much, at least the fairways.  Soften the fairways, let them grow a bit long (as far as pga tour events go) and then let the greens dry out.  The pr

Yeah, I heard that and tried to quote it. Guess I heard it wrong.

AAAaaaand someone posted a gif of the you know what crash on Twitter already.

Guessing there wasn't enough time for chute to fully deploy and slow down his fall? I know nothing about parachutes. But it looked pretty low from where he jumped off.

And I know nothing of blimps, but it looked decrepit and old.

That was a very tidy opening 65 for Rickie, 11 4s and 7 3s not one 5 on the card. It will be tough to duplicate tomorrow, but he's striping it.

Yeah.  Watched most of it.  His ball striking was solid around the course and got a bunch of 10-15ft birdie putts to drop.  Perfect way to start the tournament for him.

Something about the US Open going to newer courses seems to bring out disasters near the course.
Anyone remember all the coverage of the marina fire during the 3rd round at Chambers Bay?

I'm surprised at the use of the back tee on the 6th. The hole is the hardest on the course at 252 yards. Yeah Rickie hits a long iron to the fringe. The listed yardage on 6 is only 208 yards. So I guess they are using the back tee today.

They're showing more radar numbers than CBS did, don't recall seeing launch angle and spin rate before. Those graphics look retro though. Like 20 years ago retro. Well, I guess if your demographic is old - like me.

Adam Scott just missed a putt of about a foot.  The announcer said it might be the shortest putt he's seen a professional miss.

But it wasn't the shortest putt a professional has missed in a major.  Hale Irwin missed a tap-in in the 1983 British Open.  He missed a playoff by one stroke.

Scott actually missed a putt of about that length at the 2008 US open in Torrey Pines in round 2. He's prone to those. It's unfortunate.

Fox's stream was great this morning, but it's been super choppy since about noon mountain time. Really annoying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
