yes.... the tongue, here too...
1. The guy at the square thought he retired too.
2. And that there may have been pressure from the new LSL Golf store merchant. We went there - but $$$ were high (wonder if they will be in business 6 mos from now).
3. Like to use Callaway SuperSoft - but retail new...yikes. Prefer the slightly used for 1/3 price. And the gallery fans never know...
Who's looking forward to the US Open? What a tough course. I would need 5 dozen balls for a round there with those hayfield roughs...  |
I am thinking that this will be a disappointing US Open. You give these guys wide fairways and flat greens and they will shoot low scores. For players of US Open caliber to hit it in that tall fescue it would have to be a horrendous shot. I don't expect to see many balls in there.
The fairways are averaging 40 yards wide with some as wide as 60 yards. The there is another 6-8 yards of medium rough alongside the fairways. If a player can't keep the ball in those areas, he shouldn't be playing in our national championship.
If the greens were extremely fast and extremely undulating, it might make things more interesting, but from what I understand, they are failry flat and running at medium speed for the tour.
I expect to see 15-20 under win this event. I think that the USGA screwed up.
Just my opinion of course and we'll see what happens in three more days.
