It's really that the players have been "spoiled" in the last few years by the graduated rough that the US Open have been using. Not this year, so a one yard miss means 4.5" of rough. The amazing thing is as bad as the rough is right now, they actually cut it on Monday, which they hadn't wanted to do. If they hadn't with the rain, the rough could have been 9".Deep roughs are an Open trademark. Everytime they get shorter, the scores are higher and they catch shit from the purists. I don't mind making it so hard that people need to be extra careful with their shot making.
While driving is a huge skill in golf, I am ok with the Pros having to think their way around a course rather than just trying to blast it to its' knees. Just get rid of the silly wicker baskets and I like this course. Much better than Olympic from last year, which was boring golf. This is interesting to me.Pass...watching guys tee off with hybrids and irons is gay.
It's almost like he wanted to look like Ricky Fowler, but let Jesper Parnevik pick the outfit.I don't want Hunter Mahan to win just based on the way he was dressed today. #gettingdressedinthedark.
Nothing to be ashamed of. Didnt you say it was your first time playing in a while? There are times I've shot a 105 after playing regularly.I shot a 107. Why do I even play?
Because golf is not just about the score. It is about integrity and challenge. The score is an indicator of how well you met the challenge but at the same time a measurement of whether it is a true reflection of your efforts.I shot a 107. Why do I even play?
It has been over a year. And to be clear, I'm not that guy that throws his club when he shanks a shot. It's just frustrating when you drop a 9 iron shot 10 feet from the hole at 120 yards and then takes out a hybrid fairway wood and tops it resulting in the 20 yard walk of shame to the next shot.Nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, I had some good shot. I sunk about a 45 foot par shot on hole hole, and then didn't clear the women's tee box on the next with my driver. I have a really bad problem pulling my shoulder. It's the old baseball swing I can't get away from.The problem with golf is people look at the entirety of the 18 instead of hole by hole. I pretty much always shoot in the 90s, but if you mix in a nice par or birdie anywhere and I am happy. Bogey golf is my goal.
That's called pinkies and you owe everyone in your foursome a round of drinksYeah, I had some good shot. I sunk about a 45 foot par shot on hole hole, and then . I have a really bad problem pulling my shoulder. It's the old baseball swing I can't get away from.

Don't listen to that Doggie, alcohol is not a friend to golf unless it is done at the 19th hole.How many beers did you get in, before, during and after. That's the true test for golfers at our level.
