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 Clemsonfan ·

      Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!

      Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer.

      Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5.
