Worst coverage of any previous US Open tournament by NBC. Incomplete first round and now, cutting out before all players have finished. Should have had USA Network on in the mornings and then NBC pick up in the afternoons. Another network needs to cover this tournament. Also, only got to see Rory play about 27 holes over these two days. Wasted time with Bryson. Not a fan. Will watch only after the leaders tee off tomorrow and Sunday.

Just seems like the LIV is just "paid golf exhibition". They are on teams, without a cut, only 54 holes, guaranteed money. With Bryson joining, makes me wonder how hurt his wrist is? Maybe worse than we know? Also, the pros that have signed up, I wont miss watching. Just tell the truth. You joined for the millions they offered. Not more competition, just more money.

Agree. IF the players were about wanting more options to play,then give the signing bonus back, and go play. Fowler looks like he's going too. The PGA and the Tour will be fine. We will fewer, but better players.

The "look" has been banned before. Just note: Snead "croquet style" putting.

If the total putts taken by the pros goes UP...because the books are banned, what then? Is the issue pace of play? Skill vs. Technology? (seriously, both the PGA Tour and the USGA lost this a while ago)

I have used a "both thumbs on top" method for chips and pitches. Also "ten finger" style too. It is "whateverworks" is fine. Golf is a results oriented games.

Absolutely wonderful broadcast! Watched on GC and Peacock stream. Amazing play from the ladies. WOW! Awesome short games,and the amateur Megha Ganne, she is a force to be reckoned with. If I were her, I think I'd play (Maybe) college golf for a while, but turn pro as soon as possible. This should be the standard for ALL golf broadcasts going forward. Less commentary,less drama, more golf action. Shot tracer is a must. Will be fun to watch today's final round.

I purchased a small, about 4x6 clip board once. Put a strap on it and attached it to my golf bag. Seemed to work just fine.

Recently, a very good golfer, (consistently in the 70's) and I played a few rounds together. His idea was that golf sets were wrong, and a golfer needed only a few clubs for his game to improve. He said yardages of: 75, then 100, then 125, then 150 were all a golfer needs. That makes four clubs. Yardages over the 150 distances needed to be something you could hit straight, a fairway or hybrids club. He said from 175 then closer to 200. That makes six. A driver that you can hit consistently and straight, around 200 yards and a good putter. Total clubs eight. It seemed to make sense. BTW, he had a brand new full set of Taylor Made clubs.

I understand that any handicap golfer that can play consistently in the 80's, is a good golfer. According to USGA Handicaps, isn't that better than over 70 percent of the players?

It is the thought that there is a "secret to the golf swing" that I have yet to discover. It is my eternal Holy Grail , my personal crusade. I know I am conning myself. It does not exist, but I keep trying.

Half way through the bucket, on the range, that no matter how much you practice, your game is as good as it gets, with little improvement. However, I keep trying...………...

I remember watching Miller during his playing days. It has been said that there were maybe 3 golfers that hit the ball pure; Hogan, Trevino and some say Miller. This was before Tiger. I watched the 63 at Oakmont and marveled at his accurate iron play that day. Amazing. His ability to hit his irons to exact yardages was awesome. And yes, he played against Nicklaus, and Weiskopf. His golf swing knowledge is greater than many other players. And yes, he was a good announcer.

IMHO, the "rule" should be: IF a student competes, regardless of gender, then THEY are eligible for ANY and ALL tournaments, and matches including team or individual results. Besides, the young lady did play from the.............(ahem) Men's Tees, correct? So, maybe some jealousy here...........whatever!

Personal taste with a respect FOR the game is what might be missing. I have always felt that proper attire should be required for golfers. Does not need to be expensive, but tasteful. A simple golf shirt, and business casual slacks, or shorts are fine. Even dress styled jeans are OK, pressed and neat. Not sure I like untucked shirts, but that may be more comfort over style anyway.
