revkev Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I hear you Westy - That's why I wrote 1 of the majors not all 4 - The bad one for me is the final round of your Open (the Open). Yes, I can record it but the chances of one of my members not telling me what's happening before I head home from church is slim to none - I'm fortunate if I can catch the lost 4 or 5 holes live.

Kor.A.Door Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hahahaha that's great! I actually love The Bull and consider it one of my favorites in Wisconsin. Probably played it five times and love it every time! Even drove up to play in a "big cup" tournament a few years back. Had a blast. Try and play it on the way up to Kohler or the UP any chance I get. Many people consider Nicklaus design courses stupid or way too difficult, but I really enjoy them. Harbor Shores in Michigan is another awesome Nicklaus design in the Northwoods.Harbor Shores is in the town that I grew up in, it opened just before I moved to South Carolina, my brothers do some steelhead fishing in the river just off the course.

txgolfjunkie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Justin Rose just posted the pin placements on Instagram for Round 2. Notables: #12 is playing all the way up...about 40 yds shorter than yesterday (solely based on pin placement...no clue about the tee box). They could be playing a 285 yd par 4. There are 7 pins within 5 yds from the edge of a green. #14, the 520+ yd par 4...the pin is tucked 3 paces from the left edge, about 5 yds from the trap. Good grief. The pin on #1 is back left. If anyone watched the tourney, you'll know there's that giant swell to the left in which a ball that misses left rolls around 60 yds left of the green. The winds are supposed to remain calm today...around 6-9mph from the SW. I don't think we see the same number of red numbers today as yesterday, but I bet we see someone post another 65. The winds are forecasted to switch from SW to NE but remain in single digits all weekend. So much for the wind playing a factor.

JohnBarry Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Well, after 1 day of work, and tournament play, I am actually a little shocked the scores are as low as they are, was expecting a couple people at -1 or -2. Figured Rory would fare very well, my picks were Rory, Justin Rose, Jordan and Dustin wAs/is my wild card. Decent selection so far. Really expecy and hope Jordan wins this!

BGoergen Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I played the course and it was stunning, I understand them wanting it to play firm and fast but the course looks hideous on tv. The greens look like a pasture got mowed down and they seem to putt like it too. I am not for all the bitching about greens as everyone does have to play on them but I do agree with what sergio said that a national championship should be on better green surfaces. Besides all that. I am stunned at Tigers play. He is hitting it awful. I think he is becoming slightly delusional about his game. Eventually the rhetoric about your process and two swing planes and all that has to go away. 9 months into new couch, struggling to break 80 should be long gone.

KiltedGolfer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 And I am not sure what all the bad press is about how the greens look on tv. Who care how they look if they roll fine? There are other Tour tournaments that are played in the US where the commentators have said the greens look splotchy on tv but the greens roll fine. I just cannot remember the names of those courses. So as long as the greens roll fine who should care how they look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbealsd Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Tough, tough course, but it's been enjoyable watching the tournament so far. Got lucky with my fantasy league picks this week, but really surprised with some of the players first rounds (McIlroy, Fowler, Woods in particular).

Fireinthehole Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Looking forward to seeing the morning group play. Possible change in score direction? or more of the same? Rough to watch the fowler/ woods group- didn't help the gallary was cheering/ laughing when woods went into Chambers Basement. I will agree the course looks rough and dry for sure, all the promos show it being green, but that doesn't make for a "Firm and fast" open.

Kenny B Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Am I the only one who has immense respect for Tiger after all this? Far more than I ever did before. Can you imagine the mental fortitude it takes to continue to publicly display hacker golf as the once greatest player? Who else in the world wouldn't have just retired by now? It's almost like Michael Jordan with the Wizards, only far, far worse. This dude has some brass balls. If he only shows up for the big tournaments, no I don't have any respect for him. IMO he needs to be out every week playing in competition. He has played in only 6 events in 2015 counting the US Open. For someone that is struggling with their game in competition, competing in only 6 events doesn't seem like the prescription for getting better. It's like he is not even trying. He should play every week or take the entire year off. “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...
GilB Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can't wait to see, or hear, someone come forward and say how unfair this course is to these professional, pampered pros. Sergio got the ball rolling yesterday but at least he speaks his mind. These guys are so used to putting on carpet-like conditions that when they encounter what they're facing now they become a little frazzled. Hell, this is the norm for muny courses. I suspect that a lot of these guys will need some form of therapy after their visit here. I'll be interested in how things shake out today. It seems to me that the guys who like to have their putts die in the hole are not going to putt well whereas the guys who like to jam it in the hole from the proper side stand a much better chance of success.
