US Open: Erin Hills

Recommended Posts

If its been brought up, apologies, however a big hats off to former Oakmont HP(now he's just a regular dues paying member, lol)/current Seminole HP Bob Ford, the annual Starter for the Men's' US Open.

 

A little known story about Bob, though I was told that it was brought up in an article prior to last year's Open, and that is that he currently has about 45-50 former Assts. in HP jobs and every single year down at the Merchandising Show in Orlander, he hosts a dinner and a golf outing for them. He also Places a telephone call to each on his/her Birthday(He picked this up from Pete, though Pete "only" had 37 former Assts, lol). Not a text message. Not an e-mail.

 

A personal phone Call

 

There are Legends~

 

There are a few Icons~

 

Then there is Bob Ford

 

Bob peruses both the Tour section and the Instruction section(WTH??) so The Very Best Bro

One of my best friends is part of those numbers. I'll have to ask him if he got a bday call.

 

My buddy has the coolest putter headcover ever. One side is the Oakmont loge and the other side is the Seminole logo.

Pebble played as 71 I believe

 

I think they make #2 a par 4 for the US Open, it's usually a shortish par 5 for regular play.

You were serious about a blimp crashing?

Appears it was not part of fox or us open. Single person blimp. Pilot burned but alive

There are plenty of birds there. Erin Hills is home to the little known fescue owl. They are related to the burrowing owls from the Olympic Course in Brazil.

 

What do they sound like ? Hootie hoo!?

Fox's Coverage of this is horrid!!

 

I hate fox anything. Such a crap company. Run by corrupt evil people.

 

Why did the U.S. Open sign with fox?

 

Ugh...

 

Someone wrote in a question

 

"How does Kaymer get so much spin on the green?"

"Wanna take that one ?"

"Sure I'll take it, ummm well he's hitting in the wind, and Umm most players want less spin and he gets more spin. So that's why."

 

Ugh....

Bob gave Richard one for his birthday and he was Playing in the swat and was at another club and someone took it off of his putter as it sat at the back entrance to the Men's locker room with 15-20 other bags after they'd finished Playing and were having drinks. He was convinced that it was a younger kid and has been on the lookout ever since because those are indeed rare. A member up at Richard's club offered him some limited edition Scotty putter cover and Richard laughed because he doesn't collect them, he doesn't even use or even care about the ones that he has and I know that that cover from Bob meant the world to him :) Madison
