US Open: Erin Hills

[BB28403]

A game for gentlemen ehh? Do any of you have daughters?

 

Theyre the best!

[Joe85]

-7 is WAY too easy for a US Open. Preposterous.

[tbowles411]

OK, this is getting kind of ridiculous. But Jordan did say, -5 to -10 will probably be the winning score.

[DavePelz4]

OMG! here comes the first -20 something total score in a US Open.

 

I'll take the under Sir. Mike Davis will have a lot to say about the final score.

[bervin]

Its only day one. We could still see a winning score around 10 under if there's weather/course adjustments

[2putttom]

Holly Sonders looks ridiculous.

 

I think she looks great for 54.

I wouldn't mind checkin her for ticks.

 

I think I would rather have the ticks.

I get ur drift..Right now ur drivin around in a Mercedes Sl 500 coupe, the top down with blonde, a 21 year old 4 ct diamond earrings deforming her ear lobs, a manicure that cost a hundred bucks...a hand, and when she sweats, she sweats pearls.

[Potatohead]

USGA is now going to set the course up to be a bear the rest of the tournament. Unless it rains winning score will be like -5.

[LittleLeftToRight]

Anybody on 80 watch? (Reminder: Amateurs don't count)

WILLETT +9 and Horschel +7 BIG TIME.

 

We could have two in the morning wave! When does Na tree off? That dude is going to shoot 85.

 

Na has already shot 85, he just doesn't know it yet!

21 is ancient! ;)

Lol jk

[Joe85]

It's not rocket science: -7 through one equals -28 for four.

 

 

Even if it "equals out" -7 is just too easy after round 1 for the US Open.

Hi All, this is my first post, but I am a long time lurker.

 

I have question for you rules gurus: Martin Kaymer, on the 4th Hole, second shot, did he ground his club in a hazard?

(sorry for the horrible picture quality)

Some days are easier than others, also law of averages, if I'm not mistaken the lowest tournament scores ever are right around -28 but guys have still shot -13 or -14 for one day.

What part of those pictures looks to you like the club is grounded?

[Yellow Jacket]

Rickie is apparently dating Allison Stokke.

 

You remember, THIS Allison Stokke:

 

Jacket...how's ur putting stroke?

I feel like this question is a trap...

Better call it in. lol

Snedeker with a lavender shirt and blue plaid pants. Yikes.

 

 

 

Edit ^^ LOL!

 

Great minds think alike.

I kind of feel sad for you if that is how you feel. There are a lot of beautiful women in the world that don't dress like hookers with blown up chests and enough makeup to keep the industry in business.

[SlickT73]

Great round from Rickie. Beautifully done.

[cvhookem63]

An opening 65 for Rickie. He played that course perfectly today - didn't try to do too much. He played pretty conservatively and I'd say it worked out for him.

[carrier street]

Masters Champion Danny Willett has to play the last two at -2 to break 80.

[pappaf2]

I'd love to see Rickie win this week.

[Frankensteins Monster]

Rickie is a winner.

[DavePelz4]

Does anyone seriously think the USGA will allow a score of -20 to win? There have been many first rounds over the years where great scores have been posted but somehow by the end of the final round, scores are "magically" close to par.

[nikegal]

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��

 

Fairways & Greens 4ever My Friend⛳️

Well played Robert, if my bad memory serves me correctly, Ford was a PRETTY good player and played in a number of National (US) Opens in the past ??

Indeed Bob has, and he is the last Host Pro(they all get a spot in the field) to make the cut, when in 1983, he not only made the cut, he finished T26, which is incredible when you consider all of the club and tourney commitments and people tugging at his golf shirt that week for something. Bob also has qualified for 10 PGA Championships, making the cut 2 or 3 times. He dominated the national/state/sectional PGA scene for close to two decades, winning 4 consecutive sectional PoY awards and winning every major tourney, including the Frank B Fuhrer/Family House Invitational, which Richard has spoken of. Mr. Fuhrer ALWAYS had an invitation for Bob, regardless of how he was Playing. You are a prince and a sweetheart :) fondly, Madison

[Jasonic]

Stud.

[adam667220]

Not sure how they recognize professional events, but did Rickie just set the course record? Their 2016 marketing stuff said:

 

Course record: 66 by Ben Geyer and Mike Ignasiak in the stroke-play portion of the 2011 U.S. Amateur Championship

[Frankensteins Monster]

I hope Rickie and Allison get married and make it, like Phil and Amy. They're both great looking people and, from everything that I've seen, they're pretty awesome people as well.

Gotta give him credit. That was some nice playing.

[J_Tizzle]

Wind doesn't look at that strong yet. I bet by the end of the afternoon rounds the wind picks up and the 7,800 yards shows its teeth a bit more.

[NevinW]

No one has ever shot 65 on the first day of the US Open. this is an outrage.

Saw this live. No violation. He did technically "ground" the club, by definition. However, he did so outside of the hazard line. No way to tell anything from your pics, though.
