2016 US Open Discussion Thread

[jacot23]

Can someone tell me how I can apply integrity to my golf shots?

 

If you have to talk all day about golf you will, sooner or later, create some new adjectives that sound really good. The golf term they invented a few years back is "athleticism" and began over using it.

 

So now it's "integrity". Maybe they will discover how to describe a golf shot as having "character" soon.

 

Problem is integrity doesn't sound good.

Furyk is silently grinding his way up the leaderboard.

should have bet on him, but I thought it's too soon after his injury. Never discount the grinder chip maestro.

[JaxBeachNole]

What are the clubs being used for number 8? I have only seen putts and chips for the highlights

[Anonymosity]

The South has its major every year in April

[pennsargus]

Dj just make a putt already!!! Geez!!

[dlygrisse]

Well the golf gods don't allow anyone to be gifted in all aspects of the game. (Tiger in his prime might be the exception) but DJ and AS just make me cringe on the greens.

Dj just make a putt already!!! Geez!!

 

So frustrating. He could be 8 or 9 under right now..

"I don't see it as a sponsor bias but more guaranteeing viewership and attendance by placating to the northeast media markets.

 

It does appear in recent years, with the addition of Chamber Bay and Erin Hills to the mix, the USGA is branching out to other areas of the country."

 

 

 

 

you dont think folks will show up to a major in the south ? what possible evidence is there to support that ? the truth is the sponsors want it close to home base to cut travel time etc down ....they cant come hob knob in the big tents and boxes if they have to fly 3000 miles ...... I personally think its a shame some states have never hosted one....

 

I think there is a big difference between a major in the South and a US Open in the south. PGA's have been held in the south 10 times in 35 years.

 

I live in the south and have my entire life. From Virginia and lived in Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina. I know people will show up. I just don't see the USGA ever giving it a real chance.

 

Didn't they just have the US Open in Pinehurst two years ago?

Bro, I'm tellin ya that it doesn't matter-

 

He could be -8 come Sunday and he'll throw an 80 down to finish +2....

 

If yourw bettin $$$, bet on it!

 

Otherwise, he's solid

If you didn't read the entirety of the conversation pertaining to this subject, I'm not going to put it into context for you.

 

To answer your question, yes but there are 33 other states the USGA has never visited.

Hey Richard,

 

Been awhile since I've posted on the forum and I'm sure you've addresses it before but why all the hate on DJ? Seems like people here either love him or hate him. Genuinely curious. Personally I am a huge fan. He's had some issues but who hasn't? Pulling for him hard this week...although your post more or less has been rooted in my mind for a long time as I watch him play unfortunately haha :)

[Forged4ever]

Just in case there is a Play-off

I'm bugging out! As tough as it is to give up whilst Scott and DJ are still on the course but 1.03am is late enough for me!

[pennsargus]

[G0lfer83]

[Wykydtron4055]

What channel are you watching this on? I can't find it

[PGArox]

Phil has had a pretty decent year, especially considering his age, but he missed the cut at the Masters and the PLAYERS, and he's well on his way to a missed cut at the U.S. Open. :(

[Joebirds55]

Still on fox for me. Was worried they'd cut it off at 8 but luckily still on...

[pennsargus]
