Anyone here who follows golf? I usually enjoy watching the majors on TV every year,
but I am baffled by whoever thought it was a good idea to hold this in Southampton,
the traffic bottlenecks are unreal.
It should be interesting though, most of this field have never played here before
this week. Last time it was at Shinnecock Hills was 2004, and many of today's top players weren't playing professional golf yet.

So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Yeah, who thought of holding the US Open at a fantastic golf course, what a horrible idea lol
-
look forward to the weekend.
-
LOL total meltdown by Woods today, course was rough in the rest of the field as well...
-
Highest average score of any Open I believe.

The big three-some draw of Spieth, McIlroy, and Mickelson sure did fall flat. Doubtful they will make the cut, which will affect ratings over the weekend.
DJ off to a good start, and fresh off a win last week. My money would be on him."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Between those guys and Tiger not making the cut the ratings are screwed this weekend

USGA putting some serious teeth into the setup this year. Of course they can't control the weather, but it was blowing like a mo-fo today from what I saw."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

I can’t take an outdoor sports seriously if the weather has to be perfect.
Just saying. -
BTW. I am rooting for USA in this FIFA.

Stay on topic
! The weather doesn't have to be perfect. They all play under the same conditions on the same golf course, and have to adapt/adjust. Whoever does that the best, wins.

I like to play golf, but usually tune into tournaments as a backdrop to my afternoon nap. Maybe it's all that quiet talking by the announcers ....2 Channel "Polk" Room:

Scores should be much lower today, it's pretty overcast and almost no wind compared
to yesterday.
At least they learned their lesson after 2004, that Open was a joke and totally unfairStay on topic ! The weather doesn't have to be perfect. They all play under the same conditions on the same golf course, and have to adapt/adjust. Whoever does that the best, wins.
to a lot of the players.
