U S Open Pairings

I stumbled across this interesting article about pairings for the upcoming US Open. (And I keep wondering why we call them pairings whey they don't go off in pairs??)

That should be fun to watch.

You can always tell when someone is not big on golf you get a lot of errors in terms. In this article you have ninth tee and #9 repeated all over the place instead of tenth and number 10. They say something about a "Threesome" that is total way off --> Threesome: A match in which one player plays against two other players, and each side plays one ball.

 

I prefer that they are called "groupings" personally it's an "individual" competition, "groupings" covers 2, 3, 4 golfers at the same tee time. "pairings" would cover the 2 golfers not the third like you said.

I CAN'T WAIT! And I thought the Bubba, Rickie, Phil was going to be exciting at the Memorial. Add Tiger to the mix and that is going to be a very fun first two rounds.

Actually, because of the layout of the course, "pairings" are starting on the 1st tee and 9th tee.
