***2022 US Open Golf Thread***

15 guys under par at this point in the tournament is WAAAAAAYYYYY too many for a US Open.

Saw a tweet from a golf instructor that had been walking the course, and he said anyone over a 10 handicap would probably struggle to break 200. I think that's a stretch.

That's an average of a tad over 11 per hole. With penalty strokes, rules violations, crowd pressures (I'd be worried about drilling a gallery member in the temple at the tee box) putting it off fast greens , etc, I could see doing that. I'd be hoarse from screaming FORE by the turn. But if I could get just one par.....

The best thing I can say about the streaming for this tournament is that it is free.

Youtube tv has been a godsend for this stuff.

I actually think this is about perfect. They have 156 guys to pump through the course so it can't be at it's hardest Thursday and Friday. No one is better than -3 at this point and there're plenty of bogeys out there. Hard just for the sake of hard isn't fun to watch either. I think the balance right now is really good.

ESPN+ has been pretty good for me as well (on other PGA events)

Yeah, those -3 guys aren't likely to do that all four days. Winner at the end will probably be -8 or something like that, unless someone gets hot.

Are you shitting me? It's not even a special release. I don't even want it anymore.

$72 is a bargain, though, these days.

Looks like something you could pick up at Dan Flashes.

That commercial with the little kids hitting those putts is awesome in a time where most commercials are not.

Phil might show us what a 10 hcp would shoot here.

Whoever thought up and approved this idea should be fired. Today.

About 50-50 I'd be somewhere in the brush before you even get to the trees.

I know it’s way early today but the projected one of even par is too low. Should be about 3 or 4 over in a us open.

 

[BigJCy]

Justin Thomas rough start today. +3 thru 5.

It's currently at +2. It will probably go higher as more players begin their rounds based on the early play so far.

Who had Daffue as your leader?

Not even his own family has that.

Who had Daffue hitting this shot?

The cut is creeping towards +3 already.
