Just watched Brian Harman make a 6 on a par 4 at #2 after a perfect drive, beautiful 2nd shot that carried maybe 5-7 feet too far, hit a lovely chip that rolled back to his feet, chip with a putter that rolled forever and a 6 without hitting a bad shot. That is ridiculous. Have a friend who played in the AM at Pinehurst 2 a few years ago, made the round of 32 and said it was a joke, all it needed was a windmill and a clown's mouth.

 

I hate the USGA. This is not golf. Look up "tricked up" in the dictionary and there's a picture of #2 as the USGA has set it up for the Open.

 I love it! Flordia courses where they throw darts is boring.

Oh, and I love Pinehurst #2, live just 45 minutes away. It's a terrific golf course when set up reasonably.

 

His first chip was terrible...he chunked it and knew it.

 

If you're going to miss, miss past the hole.

 

Hit better shots.

It boggles the mind how frequently these guys hit ball markers. It's like they're too proud to ask for their playing partners to move them a bit.

Y’know, dude, if I had your post history here I don’t think I’d be putting that out there. It’s not like your writing is like the second coming of Charles Price or Henry Longhurst. 

You should block me too. In fact, everybody should since my notorious post history is too much handle.

Fax just called the greens reverse domes... you can't make this stuff up

I asked ChatGPT what that was and my computer exploded. At least I know how to stop Skynet.

Bryson and Max have the same shirt except for the logos.

I watched the 99 at Pinehurst last night. Why does Miller(goat announcer) say FIVE PAR instead of PAR FIVE?

Same reason he said '3 metal.'

When they sometimes show the really long leaderboard, all that's missing is bermuda shorts, weird music, and bad logos on hats...

[kiawah]

The high score today is only 80? This used to be a real championship

To be a real nerd, we never used to say wood 3 before metal woods came along.  🤓😀

DeShambles chips in. I’m starting to get concerned.

Had to work most of the day so didn't get to watch that much, but did see Phil only one out of DFL. Brought a smile to my face...

For almost 40 years Mrs DT has asked, what would you like to do on your day, Fathers Day?

 

My consistent answer has been, play some golf in the morning, work a little in my shop, and then settle down with an Old Fashioned and watch the final round of the US Open. 
 

Today she brings me lunch at work. A Chipotle salad just like I like it. (Ruh roh, antennae up)). And then tells me we are playing pickleball with the friends group at 2:00.

Nope, he’s a jerk. In the immortal words of Ken Harrelson, “He gone!” from my feed now. Felt I owed it to him.  I recommend it to you.

I was best man at a wedding in 2015. Missed most of that one.

Spieth at even par is a miracle.

Feel sorry for Nick DunlAp and his family. Announcers  are pronouncing his name as if it was the sporting goods company that I just found out is still in business(Cleveland, Srixon, XXio).  Maxfli was my ball of choice during my beginning golf years.

 

Then you'll be excited to learn that MaxFli is still making golf balls, and you can get them at any Dick's Sporting Goods or Golf Galaxy.

But he doesn't say 3 Par or 4 par. Only on the 5's I noticed.

Miller was quirky which is what made him great.

 

Also, not much of a filter : )

Okay, well I musta still been sleeping and missed the offensive posts. I just know firsthand that this place can be rough on a newer guy and I like to give ppl a chance.
