2017 US OPEN - Erin Hills (1 Viewer)

[encaitar]

No, player followed the rules. 

I'm also not a fan of that game. 

No.  He most certainly did not.

 

[Quint]

Adam Scott missed an 8 inch putt

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. 

 

[sho nuff]

When did Els get the gut?

 

[IC FBGCav]

When did Els get the gut?

When you got a tool like his, you have to build a shed over it. (works better in the first person)

 

[James Daulton]

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

It's a good thing golfers are such finely tuned athletes or they'd be dropping like flies out they.  Can you imagine lugging that golf bag...oh that's right, they just have to lug themselves.  Can you imagine strolling through the manicured fairways and fescue like these guys do?  They're machines I tell you!

 

[culdeus]

When did Els get the gut?

Same time they told him no more belly putter.

Shaping up to be a great Open. Really glad to see all the low scores so the whole narrative of an unfair course won't be an issue this year. Awesome round by Fowler and will be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

Erin Hills is a pretty good porn name.

If you do some good googling, Erin Hill is a lady who spent time in prison for something. I won't name it but I knew her in college. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Can we go back to the traditional courses where half the field isn't under par or even?  The local muni goat path would play tougher than this course.

Even with all the low scores, there were tons of guys trying to hack it out of the tall grass. I mean fescue.  

I think the course is still challenging enough if the wind picks up.

Maybe so.  I get the desire for change but a course in America needs to have some trees.

 

[mphtrilogy]

Snooze fest, -7, this is playing like a pga event..

hope they up the stempmeter tomorrow...

 

[McGarnicle]

Generally agree, but for this particular plot of land, the whole links vibe they were going for and the scenic views that would've been blocked by those trees, I think they did a great job.

Bottom line for me is that everyone is playing with the same conditions, so I just hate any whining about the course. Except maybe at Chambers Bay, if the greens were truly as bumpy and unpredictable as they were saying, I get the frustration. 

I read that story linked in the OP about how this course came to be and I just think it's awesome, so I'm biased. I'm more into this US Open than I have been in years and think it's going to be a great weekend. And if that wind picks up, we'll definitely see the higher scores.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Day will need to play well coming in or he'll shoot 80.  2 triples so far today.

 

[joffer]

Snooze fest, -7, this is playing like a pga event..

No it isn't.

 

[McGarnicle]

I saw a lot of 15ish foot putts that were way off line. I guess because they're unfamiliar with these greens?

 

[McGarnicle]

Tomorrow's forecast looks similar to today, 80% chance of thunderstorms Saturday, 18mph winds Sunday.

that's the only round i'll get to watch live. a windy Sunday would be  glorious. 

 

[gump]

Fowler is well suited for wind.

More amateurs under par than Top 10 players in the world.

Crazy

I'm going on Sunday. Should I walk around in tennis shoes or golf shoes?

Good thing they cut the rescue back.  Wouldnt want this to be too hard.

I actually have these. Best golf shoe I've ever owned/played in.

How'd mcilroy do?

 

[zoonation]

They are going to set the course up as hard as it gets tomorrow.  The course took a beating for being a US Open track.  It will be pain tomorrow.   I bet -8 leads at the end of the day tomorrow.  

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

So Fowler is tagging that pole vault broad?

 

[chet]

So Fowler is tagging that pole vault broad?

Probably the whole team.

 

[Otis]

Kept hoping Erin Hills was gonna be the name of some smoking young golfer chick. 

 

[gump]

How'd mcilroy do?

Not well...he's above the cut line along with Speith though, and will remain comfortable ahead of him in World ranking.

Shirley, you can't be serious. 

Ecco.  YWIA. 

 

[Zow]

Yes

And Fowler is steadily creeping into the top 3 of "guys I'd actually legitimately trade places with if somehow that option became real." 

Old rankings: 

1. Jeter

2. Tiger

3. Brady

4. Some oil sheik 

5. Timberlake

New rankings:

unacceptable. 

Agreed.  Although, it'd be a hell of a hustle (assuming you're good) to show up on the first tee with those and agree to play for a large chunk of money...

Maybe with some walmart camo cargo shorts and a tank top that says "Beer Me!!"

And then pull out some Top Flites or some Pinnacle Golds....

 

[Binky The Doormat]

With a bag and clubs like this.  

 

[Zow]

With a bag and clubs like this.  

Was thinking more like a bag with two different stock oversized drivers - along with obnoxious head covers, giant cavity backed irons, and a trendy putter with a nickname. 

 

[McGarnicle]

Nice fluorescent ball Bubba you jerkoff. :middlefinger:

 

[Quint]

And then pull out some Top Flites or some Pinnacle Golds....

don't forget to Vaseline that club face

I like when he uses the pink one for breast cancer awareness, not sure what the yellow is for.

 

[strykerpks]

I haven't been able to watch at all today. But looking at the leader board it appears to be playing a bit tougher today. For those that are watching, is that the case?

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

Probably to find it in the tall grass.

 

[Buzzbait]

Probably to find it in the tall grass fescue.

Fixed it. 

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

Fixed it. 

Yes of course, what was I thinking? 

Thanks Buzz
