I think Fox coverage starts at like 10am central. Not sure if the Golf Channel has early coverage or not.

According to usopen.com, there's only online coverage until FS1 starts at 10am CST.

Thanks.  I am an idiot.  

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Wonder how many strokes Schwarzel wins by?

 

[Joe T]

They're a bunch of clowns IMO.  3rd rate as mentioned above.

Yeah it's pretty bad, that's why I wondering who they were. How long of a contract does Fox have for their US Open coverage?

The one with the Southern accent--is named Brooks.  He just picked his namesake as a sleeper--Brooks Koepka.

I think his name is Mark Brooks.  Don't know the color guy's (Mr. Hello) name yet.

No chance this course is played at -7....Par four days in a row will take this thing.  

O RLLY, GB?

 

[Mookie]

Course is getting torched right now.  Fowler has a short putt to go -6 through 11 holes.  

 

[mr. furley]

neat little muni course they've got there

Mick Fleetwood at -5 thinks he had a harder time with Lindsay Buckingham

 

[joffer]

Ton of rain last night really softened it up.  Not much wind.

 

[Peyton Marino]

where are you guys watching this now online?

I pivoted to fs1 coverage at roosters. Might just call it a day and start (keep) drinking

Do u just show up in every sports thread during big events and talk nonsense?

 

[Brunell4MVP]

And also how many times they refer to how hard a walk it is for the players.  JFC--they're professional athletes.

Played in the US Am there.  It is a brutal walk.  Like 10-12 miles.  Of course I had to lug my own sticks.  These guys have a caddie doing all their work.  

 

[JAMES!]

Course record is 66. Going down today.

 

[encaitar]

This is the problem with courses like this.  The wind changes the game so much.  On a calm day, those wide fairways make it too easy for pros to score, but if they built these courses with normal tight fairways like other courses, then when the wind blows(like it normally does) then breaking 80 would be a chore even for these guys.  

Unless the wind picks up this weekend, expect -18 or so to win this thing.

Just got to the #USOpen and the blimp caught fire and crashed. People parachuted out.

 

[Nigel]

In a perfect world I'd love to see two days of favorable conditions/shot-making, then have it blow and watch them grind out two weekend rounds.

 

[strykerpks]

I really hope nobody got hurt.

But

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Wow.  Fowler finally gonna win his 1st major

 

[Softballguy]

The medical helicopter program I work for just responded to that incident.

I'm the public affairs person... any guess on how many media calls I'm about to receive?

Haven't heard any Baba Booeys yet.

 

[McGarnicle]

Joe Buck is such a turd.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Whoa! Hope they're all okay, just saw the video.

 

[Quint]

Joe Buck is such a turd.

is he worse than Johnny Miller? i mean Buck's awful, but at least Buck doesn't have license to reference some round he shot 4 decades ago to legitimize his position as a broadcaster.

Miller is probably objectively worse but Buck gets on my nerves a lot more. 

All golf should be on CBS. 

 

[Softballguy]

Whoa! Hope they're all okay, just saw the video.

Just the pilot, and nobody parachuted out. Haven't heard any update on his condition, but he was transported to a trauma center.

 

[chet]

Johnny Miller is opinionated and an ### but he knows the game.  Buck's ok but the two guys I hate are Nantz and Tirico.

 

[JAMES!]

How many times are they going to say "fescue" during the coverage? More than 1000?

 

[mr. furley]

i try

did i miss one?

Golf guys:  is this a #### move?

Playing golf with some friends and one of the games is snake--i.e. every 3-putt costs something and the last person to make a 3-putt has to match the pot.  

Fast forward to the 18th which is a very difficult green and there are three potential 3-putts.  

Player A putts to 10 feet and marks.

Player B putts to 5 feet and says he will finish.  He makes the 5-footer.

Player C makes a good putt and taps in.

Player B normally would have marked from 5ish feet but decided to finish so even if he missed his putt, he wouldn't have been the last person to 3-putt--assuming player A missed his 10 footer, of course.

Anything wrong with player B's actions?

No, player followed the rules. 

I'm also not a fan of that game.

Erin Hills is a pretty good porn name.

 

[General Malaise]

Erin Hills is a pretty good porn name.

Cherry Hills in Denver better, IMO.

 

[joffer]

Adam Scott missed an 8 inch putt

 

[Foosball God]

Erin Hills is a pretty good porn name.

I appreciate how Cav always has the right things on his mind.

 

[General Malaise]

Good start Sergio.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Erin Hills like the length.

 

[Joe T]

I can't believe how far those guys have to walk and how deep the fescue is.  Has that been mentioned yet?

Yes.  Despite it's routine use on the PGA tour, there is no such rule in the rules of golf that allow you to finish out.  It's common practice only because there is no penalty for it in stroke play.  However, even though it's not true match play, the rules of snake make that game play as a match play type game.  In match play, if you play out of turn, your playing partner can make you replace your ball and replay your shot even if you make it.  If you're gonna to play this game, then this is how you need to treat the rules with regards to three putting.
