2018 United States Open

[2putttom]

Well the idiots are back out today. It's going to be difficult to watch this today while having to listen to all the incessant yelling on every tee ball.

 

It was awful yesterday. I had to spend an hour listening to a group of guys who definitely peaked in college loudly discuss his super detailed...lets say...adventures with a girl last weekend. It was probably one of the worst/cringe-worthy things i've heard in public in a while, especially with little kids around. Paired with yelling "Hey ___, can I have an orange" every time stepped on to the tee and then "YEAHHH ____, give 'em the business" after every tee shot". For what its worth, im currently a college student too.....i get it, but c'mon, golf is a game of dignity...try to treat it that way.

 

Also, show some consideration for those around you who may not be interested in listening to that crap. The perpetrators/defenders of this behavior are singularly self-centered.

 

Speaking from someone of my generation; the trend is getting really drunk and going to things like Belmont, US Open...anything really. Thats cool...did it for belmont and it was fun. But knowing how to handling yourself when drinking is a life skill imo. Sure, it's funny when you are still in high school, but no one wants to put up with it past then. I cannot tell you the number of stumbling morons i saw yesterday....annnd the amount of people chanting on the train as if we were pulling up to a high profile football game or something. It was kinda funny seeing this pulling up to a golf tournament; the worlds calmest and most quiet sport.

great post ..thank you :good:

This setup should have been yesterday. And yesterday's setup should have been today.

 

All we are seeing with this round today is just how much the USGA manipulates what would be a great tournament by trying to "toughen up" a course that doesn't need it.

Reed showed up today ready to play, I like it.

 

He can't let up though...each and every hole demands your undivided attention. There is no where to relax as you play an "easy" stretch.

That is the modern world though Sean. Everyone is self centered today. If you think about others, you are in the minority. Sad.

 

Unfortunately, I think you are right. I am hoping that will change. :-)

 

It really wouldn't take much. Somebody just has to have the balls the be the first to take action. They'll still be a few who will continue, but the majority will shut hell up once they realize there will be consequences.

[jdl]

Slammin' start for Reed. No red and black though?

[JaNelson38]

Today there is no danger of any doubles or worse. Just birdies, pars and if you hit a bad shot maybe an outside chance at a bogey. It is what it is. A walk in the park. Very sad they felt the pressure to take the bite out of this course and than caved to that pressure. Today is more like The PGA Championship, what a dissapointment.

 

There are still more bogeys than birdies so far today. I don't know what you are looking for.

 

Today is the fair setup that these players have wanted all along.

[hybrid25]

I'm pulling for PR, and he's starting off great!

[2putttom]

two ball smackers in the last group. But can they putt?

[Mr. Grumpy]

Go Reed!

I agree! I called out a guy who was dropping "f" bombs at the range left and right and there were a bunch of kids around. After I spoke to him the guy huffed, picked up his clubs and left. The parents thanked me. I was wondering why one of them didn't say anything.

Top-5 at it....#gameface

"If you're a bowler you know what that is" - How'd Azinger get this job?

In the last 2 groups imo, whoever putts the best wins

One of the announcers said earlier that on 11 of the holes the pin is right in the middle of the green.

I gotta say I like hearing our across the pond commentators on air.

[tannyhoban]

Reed was my pick in the who ya got thread. He's moving in for the kill. Not that I'm rooting for anybody.

I used to like Azinger a bunch when he called the Open when it was on ABC/ESPN. He has really slipped since then.

[Frankensteins Monster]

First it was Tiger’s stupid off center Nike swoops in the back, and now, hey, Nike, end those stupid hats with the rope on it and stop trying to emulate those white trash trump hats.

[Sean2]

Seems like there are birdies to be had.

[Symeon Star-Eyes]

Well it was fun while it lasted. Now it's just your run-of-the-mill birdie fest.

[PZero]

I'm going to guess we'll have a 18 hole playoff tomorrow.

Confrontation. Or fear of it (that would be me, I'm one who rarely says anything). It means more (and is way, way more effective) when it comes from someone your size!

 

Although I know it's true most of those idiots will slink away once anyone publicly calls them out.

Not well enough, especially with this pressure

It's Fox. They take the dregs.

Is that you Hillary? lol

[braincramp52]

Reed is mentally locked in.

Two hole aggregate now...then sudden death.

Sean :superman: Jack Reacher range master

Fox Production Director...I implore you, please please please tell Paul that it isn't necessary to comment every single moment over every mundane thing that happens.
