I missed Sectionals by 2 strokes this year.  I summarized my round here, if you or anyone is interested. June 4th is the day for Sectional Qualifying this year.  I'm not sure how many of the 500

This is kind of neat...each of the top 9 finishers had a final score (over par) that was equivalent to their finishing position:

It seems like you have to go here to get shot tracker for the tournament: http://www.usopen.com/scoring.html

It works fine, but I haven't found a way to jump to a specific hole yet. I can only scroll up and down, one hole at the time. This gets pretty annoying if you first want to look at hole 15, then hole 2.

Scoring so far indicate a difficult course. Or conditions. Or both.

Triple on a 157 yard par 3 is pretty bad by Spieth. +4 through two.

The bite in the US Open is definitely back. 

I would say there’s a chance not one person breaks par today.

Amateur Kristoffer Reitan is the first ever Norwegian to play in the US Open.

 

Spieth at +5 and McIlroy at +6 so far. Ouch. This is a tournament where you could see some random player win it.

Course is kicking ass so far. 

Spieth's ball speed with the driver has been under 170 every shot I've seen him hit. Interesting.

Me too! Much better than the standard ball-against-blue-skies that doesn't tell you anything about the shape of the shot. Especially in these windy conditions where you might see players hit more punchy shots.

Forecast shows double-digit wind speeds all week so this is likely not just to be a “one-day” carnage. This could be Winged Foot like scores by the end of week.

Up to double digits, yeah, but Thursday will be the worst. Drops below 10 after 1 PM tomorrow, and on Saturday it's around 5 from the morning. Might get some rain the following days, which will affect the course. Not that it gets flooded, but wet grass is different from dry grass.

Amazing thing is greens look really receptive right now. Quite soft. If these greens get some fire to them and you add just a 7-10 mph wind, this course will get ridiculous.

Sigh, I miss The Masters. US Open stream totally failing on me. Tried both groups, on laptop, phone and tablet. Totally unpredictable. Never had a problem with The Masters.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Same here. So I’m just using HULU for FS1. It's working well.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
