shaggyfrog Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Been watching it this morning online...... would like to see Jason Day do good. Hope he is over the dizzy spells he has been having and puts on a show.

Kenny B Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Chambers Bay is not your usual US Open type of course. I like it that the fairways are plenty wide and the players have shots to the green without having to chop it out of thick rough usually found on USGA setups. Get to see some excellent shotmaking! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskev Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 A lot of players on the course are playing some really solid golf to start off the tournament. I think its true what a lot of the pros were saying, if you put the ball in the right spots off the tee, you can really go after the holes.

liv2golf Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I love the week of a golf major! The experts spend hours debating and discussing and they still don't have a clue who will win. I hope Phil can complete the career grand slam this week. He is a classy guy and is a great ambassador for the game. My wife says she feels like a single mom during the week of a major. I think there is something in the air that make a golf fan a fanatic during a major.

SPY VIP The Dansome Posted June 18, 2015 SPY VIP Share Posted June 18, 2015 I found this article today......did not know that an Alternate Candidate could not play the course.....I think that is a stupid rule. UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – USGA chief Mike Davis made headlines a few weeks ago when he said that U.S. Open success would come only to those who became extremely familiar with Chambers Bay. Those showing up and only playing a couple practice rounds will not fare well. Clint Rice was out for a casual practice round Tuesday with fellow Aussie Geoff Ogilvy, trying to gather course knowledge until his clubs were confiscated by a USGA official on the 13th hole, according to a report from the Australian AP. Rice, No. 1188 in the Official World Golf Ranking, is an alternate after attempting to qualify last week in Ohio. Alternates are not allowed to play a practice round although they are allowed to use all tournament practice facilities. A USGA official told the Australian AP that Rice had been given information that told him he was not allowed to play Chambers Bay. “It's a big silly if you're not holding anybody up or interfering with their practice,†Ogilvy told the Australian AP. “I'd get it if there were no spots available for players in the field. But this wasn't the case here. “It's a shame because we were having a good time and he seemed like a really good bloke.†Rice did not give a comment to the Australian AP. Ahh crazy. My buddy Andy went down to caddy for him too. Yo #JustPlayBetter Follow @GolfSpyMBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Very enjoyable so far. I hate to say it but as much as I disliked Greg Norman as a player, more because he was the most over rated athlete ever than anything else, I'm enjoying him as a color commentator. He certainly understands lots about the perils of playing in a major.

txgolfjunkie Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Chambers Bay reminds me of The Open championships where the wind will determine the difficulty of the course. Am I the only one who can't tell the fairway from the green? I swore I saw Stenson on a green but it turned out he was about 100 yds out. Maybe it's the fact that I'm watching on my phone at work instead of a HD TV...or maybe it's the fact that I had a Long Island Ice Tea at lunch instead of my usual sweet tea.

I must say that I prefer the Masters or PGA where we get options for coverage, if I get tired of the talk I can go to Amen Corner or Shipwreck (one of the par 3's at Whistling) Well theres a few things in play here. First - I can't stand Greg Norman. Met him a few times and he's always been a complete jerk. Maybe not as much now in his older age but who knows. Second - i'm watching via the mobile app right now and it skips constantly. I have a great and fast internet connect where I'm at so I don't think that is the issue. Could be wrong though...

bjknku02 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 This might be the most brutal golf coverage I have ever had to watch. I have to have my volume all the way up on my TV to hear the announcer. Then when a commercial comes on, it is beyond loud. This is like amateur hour and so sad for such an awesome tournament. Please get me Johnny Miller and Jim Nantz back!
