Gotta say boys and girls, I am really digging this tourney so far. The course is playing seriously hard, but not ferociously and unfairly hard. No one is going to win at -20, but no one is at +1. Kudos to the USGA, I think they calibrated the course just about right. Tough, but not unduly cruel. 

Quite agree, but the more difficult part will be keeping it there given the heat over the next 3.5 days.

yup...tanlines! lol

Bingo.  He probably went in and said “ give me a regular it’s hot out “. They put true #2 guard on and went to town !  Thats always been my cut.  It’ll fade up the sides and back. Leave me some length on the top.

Here they come!  SS for the win.

I run a very tech intensive company but my kids love to tease me about various (imo unimportant) tech issues.  I remind them I taught them how to use a spoon. 

Really? You run a tech company? (Me too.)

 

And I get you. Saw my daughter in a hoodie, said "the 90's called, they want their style back". She said, "yeah, they called because they didn't know how to text". Blows to get continually owned by your kids. 🤣

That cut is timeless.  You can comb the top back , to the side or down the middle.  Very versatile 🤣

Where have you been Bob?! Duct is a doc!  👨‍⚕️

Rough day for Phil.  DFL.

[bladehunter]

What a group.  Scottie. Rory and Xander. Might be the best 3 some I could imagine.

For everywhere except the Bay Area, no.

Neal Shipley looks socially awkward. Like the student that wears brightly coloured socks to make up for their lack of personality.

Go buy a burner phone. Steal her phone as she sleeps.  Or games. Or whatever they do now . Add a contact that says “ the 90s”  with your burner number …replace phone.  and text her that same message.  Then do it once a month or at random until she calls the cops.

Scottie: ”Give me the US Open greens cut”

Barber: ”Say no more”

Prison cut? 

[LimaSierra]

There is a 64 out there. Cantlay will not be the 1st round leader in my prediction 

[stinger_gc]

Can Gillis arrest Cantlay tomorrow 

[bcflyguy1]

Not much wind (under 10 MPH the whole weekend) in the forecast, which will make keeping the course from getting out of control easier.

 

Not hard to imagine the carnage that would ensue on a set-up like this if the wind did start to blow. Wind really is the last, most effective defense against the current best players.

Certainly not for a speeding violation.

Printing this to post above my desk when I need cheering up.

Do you think its even possible for USGA to set up a course where no one breaks par?

 

or are these guys so good one of them will shoot low regardless of set up

Not when the wind is relatively calm like we'll see for this tournament, no.

Only if it’s a citizens arrest at the local Piggly Wiggly.

I can hold my own with her. "You old people are totally clueless about social media and texting and YT and TikTok and Insta and Snap."

 

I was, like, "well maybe - but we actually, ya know, invented them".

 

We have fun.
