RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yea. We talked about the Ranch too but whatever is best for everyone. If July though, it should be very early or late tee times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 The PGA snuck up on me so I didn’t have time to dig in earlier in the week but it’s been a good tournament so far. Tiger WD was obvious after his brutal Saturday. It’s painful watching him. Leaderboard full of inexperience per say but they’re all really good players. I like seeing it randoms, to the general public, fighting for it today. I wish Rory didn’t have the triple bogey yesterday, otherwise he’d still be in it. He fought back on the back 9 to get to E. In fact, he should have been all the way back -3 but his putter failed him too many times again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would have, it would have been short of the creek. Driver brings it into play. He hit driver on Saturday there, great, but it’s sunday and you have a one shot lead. Let’s not pull a Phil Mickelson at the US Open…and that’s exactly what happened. Terrible course management but somewhat expected from the inexperience.

Oh it was a terrible swing but a 3w most likely falls short of the creek, even if it was the same swing. That’s what I meant. So a bad 3w still leaves you free from a penalty stroke where at worst you bogey and head to a playoff. Phil Mickelson made a similar mistake in at Wingfoot back in the mid 2000s when he was up by 1 on a relatively easier 18th hole than this and also took out his driver and shanked it way left into the tent and ended up with a double, and handed the trophy to Jeff Ogilvy. It’s probably the most iconic 72nd hole meltdown in a major, ever. This is right up there but the big name and experience of Phil’s blunder surpasses. Mito’s caddie should have stepped in especially for a young player…” hold on my man, let’s keep it short of the creek then long iron on or near the green. Easy two put or up and down for the trophy. No problem.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 We’re flying up the US Open and I have yet to play 18. FML. At least I’ve been watching on wknds and have a pretty good feel from a dfs and betting standpoint heading into the best major of the year.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 I’m liking this Open. They set it up tough but fair. The Small poa greens require good iron play and a solid short game. It’s not a long course either so it allows the non bombers to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCD17 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 My buddy went yesterday and is there today. It looks brutal. Letting the grass grow tall on the green-side edges of the bunkers for an added slap in the face. The rough looks brutal. Even the first cut of the rough is a club grabber and then they do a 2nd and 3rd cut, where your ball is basically out of view, and you're not even 10' from the edge of the fairway. Greens at a 12 and tilted. I love to watch it, but I would probably need therapy after playing the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always disliked the tricked up torture the USGA has done in the past. By the way, I did the same things as Rory did on his double bogey hole last night in league play. Put my drive in some tall stuff that took me two shots to get out of an then still had to cross the river twice. Ended up with a 7. That's why Rory is a pro, he made 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
