[ QUOTE ]
Somebody is going to win by shooting a lower score than everyone else. Stop bitching and play. [/ QUOTE ] Good play should be rewarded, poor play should be penalized. In their attempts to protect par the USGA occasionally goes a little overboard and gets it backwards. There have been several holes the past few years that would have been less out place had they added windmills and clowns mouths. That said, the tournament is the greatest test of patience in golf, that's why you see guys like Janzen and Goosen as multiple winners. They are great players, and phenominally patient grinders.

Sergio's outfit is awful [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure why he always stops at thrift store on the way to the course to pick out his clothes.

Re: US Open underway
excessive green grass is not what golf courses are about. Americans have tried to ruin the game with irrigation and green grass. Brown is often good. You need to water it enough to keep it alive, not to have something pretty and green and mediocre.

Re: Worst Outfit
I didn't get to see much, but what was up with DLIII's get up? Awful shirt with the different color collar and was that a trucker hat with the Titleist and FJ ads all over it. I know he wants to be the NASCAR guy on the tour with his motorcoach and stuff, but the trucker hat thing was over the top. Awful.
And did I see some guy with a print of some sort all over his trousers????? I didn't get a good look at that. Oh, for one Ben Hogan. No logo no glove no bright colors no ads even when you own the company. Custom boring trousers and shoes. Now even the "amateurs" like Michelle Wie pimp for the conglomerates. Feh.

Re: Crybabies

That said, the USGA can blow it with set up like last year. [/ QUOTE ] Last year was the first time I enjoyed watching a golf tournament in decades. [ QUOTE ] Here is the tournament I'd like to see once in a while, and you would get to see some shots. Old golf course here or there, i.e. St Andrews there, Pinehurst/Winged Foot/Oakmont etc... here. No goofy set ups. The rough could be a little longer, but the greens stay alive. Each player gets his pick of seven clubs and must carry them himself. No caddies. No yardage books allowed. No sheets with the hole location. Any yardage markers on sprinkler heads eliminated for the tourament. Each hole would simply have the total yardage to the middle of the green. Slow play penalties strictly enforced. Do it once a year and see how it identifies the players. I think in that format the top players really would rise to the occasion. And you would see some golf shots. [/ QUOTE ] Great idea. My only suggestion would be to make them tee off with 6 irons, par 3's excluded.
