Gg Owen Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 How tough would it be to let a course grow in more before a tour stop? Let the rough grow up and let deep rough become heather. And maybe allow the fairways to shrink in slightly. Wouldn't the less up keep and reduced fairway size save money? At the same time challenge the players without talks of regulating the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 No one wants to deal with those conditions every week from a fan perspective and the players. While it may cut down on course maintenance the courses they are playing aren't worried about money. Also playin those conditions every week takes away the mystique, thrill or whatever adjective to describe what is known as the truest test in golf.

Big money Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I've watched almost every tour event televised the last five years. Some courses just aren't designed for USGA conditions. It requires a unique course to hold a US Open venue. The Torrey Pines and Pebble beach yes.

revkev Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Consider how much manpower it takes to get a course in the condition it needs to be in for a US Open. It's cost prohibitive to even think of it. Plus many tour courses are simply not strong enough to host a US Open. Even though I'm generally bully on the PGA tour courses, they aren't all Shinnecock so even with tough conditions it would not be the same.

The Masters rewards well executed boldness, the US Open the above, the Open shot making creativity and execution through the green and the PGA functions like a super regular tour event. That's a great package - its why so few players have succeeded in winning all four. It also sets their games apart.

txgolfjunkie Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 For me, I can't stand the US Open. Guys can't make a run unless they water/slow down the course. I thought Fleetwood's run was epic but it's wouldn't have happened if the USGA didn't water the course as much as they did. Saturday was brutal to watch. Guys hitting it to 7' from the pin only to have it roll off into a trap or 15 yards off the green. When the good shots start getting punished, it becomes ridiculous. Think about guys making a run on the back nine at the Masters. That's a lot of fun to watch. Do you see that at the US Open? Very rarely.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think the above quote sums up the US Open very well. Some players and fans don't like the US Open. Other players and fans love the US Open. So it seems to be a subject of personal preference. My own perspective is that the US Open is the one event where par is a good score, sometimes even par or over par is the winning score, and that having one event per year like this is a good thing. I like the Masters , British Open, and PGA Championship as well. Each one of the Majors has its own identity and character. Nothing with par being a good score. But if the USGA hadn't "manufactured" decent conditions on Sunday, nobody would have been close to par. Northing wrong with the way the course played Thursday and Friday. But they had to push it over the edge on Saturday, which is hard to believe they would be so shortsighted knowing what happened in 2004. But I guess DJ being at -4 was too much for the Blue Coats to take, and they had to show everyone who is boss and didn't set it up normally. It amazes me why they don't listen to or take the innput from the staff that sets this course up the other 51 weeks of the year. They obviously know the local conditions and trends better than the USGA.

I have no doubt the usga didn't want to see dj just run away with the win even if there was a chance someone else might have an even better round to push him. The usga is obsessed with pushing the limits and imo punishing the players instead of showcasing their skills. Good/great shots need to be rewarded not punished. They don't learn lessons well and 2004 to this week is a perfect example.

palvord Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Course set up and maintenance costs money. Period. Even if you are letting the grass grow, you need to constantly water that grass and tend to it so it does not allow mold, or other diseases to take over.

fixyurdivot Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The US Open has long had the tradition of being more challenging than normal associated with it. That does make it a particularly fun venue. Not seeing a leaderboard bleeding red is certainly a welcomed change. It seems like so many tournaments now are well into double digit below par numbers. While this supports the "Live Under Par" slogan, it almost seems no challenge at all from our (mere mortals) perspective. Seeing the best struggle to just shoot par is good. "Hey Mr. PGA pro, welcome to our world". As to the OP's question about making all courses play this tough, I'm not sure I'd want that. Shinnecock on Friday (or was it Saturday) did seem to be like crazy golf. A bit more difficult to perhaps keep finishing totals to single digit red numbers would be better. It seems to me that it's distance off the tee that is principally responsible for the typical low scoring. It has become a "bash & gouge" sequence for many with off first cut second shots simply not being the disadvantage as they were in the past. Certainly making ruff thicker and higher might help, but maybe also some more challenging landing area bunkers.

revkev Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Part of the reason second cut rough is less difficult is that they are hitting shot irons or wedges rather than mid irons. When the average driving distance was 260 a 440 yard par 4 was driver, 5 iron - it's tough to hit a 5 iron out of thick rough and keep it on the green. Now it's driver 9 iron or wedge.

Zylem Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Probably a little later to the discussion here but I'll throw my hat in. I don't care much for the US Open. I want to watch great shots and aggressive play. That's why I love watching the Ryder and Presidents cup. Those guys attack the pins and play great golf. If I wanted to see someone shoot in the 80s I'd look in a mirror lol. Some people like to see the pros struggle but I guess I am on the other side of the fence. I want to see records fall. When the mile dash record was broken they didn't change everything and make the runners run in mud. Watching the US open, I always get the feeling its a glass is half empty kind of tournament. Who can mess up the least wins. That seems to be the mindset of the players as well, based on their interviews during the tournament.
