.......scheiss. I've often wondered why the USGA picks courses and sets them up in ways that favor foreign golfers who are used to playing on crappy courses in crappy conditions. You'd think the U S Open would favor Americans. Shinnecock looks almost as crappy as that dog track in Dallas.

He had the right idea to hit it in the middle of the green and not try to get it too close.

Of course, when I golf, I have a lot of the right ideas too.

I can visualize it, I just can't execute it.

It looks like they are playing in a f-cking cow pasture.

When I saw a close up of one of the greens, it looked like a shaved mish-mash of poana,Bermuda, chia, and Johnson grass. The only ones I've seen uglier were on Bellville Golf & Recreation Club at the end of August.

That place is awful.
A guy i worked with took me there when we moved to McGregor. The sand traps were dirt and the grass was around in places.

My Dad took me fishing at Battle Lake when I was very young. My main memory of it is a cottonmouth slithering into the water from the bank near our boat. Dad said, "We don't keep those." I had a few dreams about it.

Nothing more annoying than the dumbasses yelling "Tiger!" after every single one of his shots. Glad that f'er is likely going to miss the cut so I don't have to listen to that the next 2 days

I would be OK if they put a moratorium with playing any majors in the Northeastern part of the U.S.

You should try the Sinton public coarse. Fairways lead to St. Aug greens manicured by blind one-legged trapeze artist.

People yelling let's go Tiger! when he's 15 shots back and coming off of a bogey or double is pretty bad. I think even Tiger would agree with me. Baba booey is bad too.

I recommend the mute button for 99% of sports programs including golf. I turn the radio on for Astros game because the announcers actually talk about the game, and it is five to ten seconds ahead of the TV, so I can read and if something happens, look up and see it.

The St. Augustine has invaded some of the fairways at Bellville, but as of when I quit playing there a few years ago it hadn't made it onto the greens. Putting on St. Augustine sounds like as much fun as brain cancer.

I think Mickelson, Spieth and McElroy would agree that Shinnecock Hills could be improved by an encounter with a few hundred kilos of TNT and three weeks with a D-8 dozer.

I played the Sinton course many years ago and we came across an alligator which scared the crap out of our foursome.

Justin Thomas is now on the course, and, as usual he thinks he's competing in the Bad Pants Open. I used to think he was colorblind and his Mama dressed him funny, but then I heard he was from Alabama. Those pink pants are probably formal attire among the snaggle-toothed cretins of that semi-literate state. The navy shirt and cap don't complement them well however.

Fox coverage of any and all sports suck.

This Open should be on a porn channel. Every one of the best golfers in the world has now been screwed by Shinnecock. None will look forward to playing it tomorrow. The lucky ones missed the cut. Too bad global warming hasn't already made that POS part of the ocean floor.

14 foot Lone Star with a 1/5th HP Evinrude motor. We rented the boat but owned the motor.

WHO in hell is Tommy effing Fleetwood, how did he shoot a 63 on that goat ranch (guess: dumb, f***ing luck), and is he going to be allowed to win the UNITED STATES Open? Surely they'll plow that mess under after this. I can't imagine a club membership that would want to play that track.

Edit: I was right about the limey's DFL. I figured he made a mile of putts, and I was wrong. It was two miles.

Maybe Koepka can hold on and win it. He's in the fairway at 18 with a two-stroke lead.

These announcers must either be hired by or require approval of the USGA. They hew to the party line and refuse to admit what a POS that course is

The USGA watered the hell out of it last night. And they admitted it was set up too hard. Hopefully they learn from it.

Thursday and Friday were fine. Saturday was unfair to the point of being ridiculous. Sunday was a makeup day for Saturday.

Two things:

1. When I first tuned in today, my first thought was asking myself if I was watching the Byron again. Looks exactly like Trinity Forests.

2. Tommy Fleetwood is Kurt Cobain reincarnated.

Back in high school, me and 2 guys played their. On one hole, I hit my shot right up to a mesquite tree. Went to go check it out and there was a 4-5 foot rattle snake just inches a way. needless to say I did a drop on that hole and moved on....

If she were to happen to be standing right next to a water fountain on a college campus, what would you do to her?
