2015 US Open - Golf not Tennis you ninnies.
It's always nice to see life long dreams come true.....
Fifteen-year-old Cole Hammer qualifies for U.S. Open
Fifteen-year-old Cole Hammer qualifies for U.S. Open
The U.S. Open gets underway next week, and there will be at least one notable name — both in terms of names and age. Fifteen-year-old Cole Hammer, who is far too young to get any sort of MC Hammer references, has qualified for the tournament, and he’ll hit the links next to the big boys for one of the PGA Tour’s four majors.
Hammer certainly earned his way to the show, too. The youngster beat out an impressive field at a 36-hole sectional qualifier to earn the bid. Hammer birdied four of his final five holes, according to the Dallas Morning News, to finish second at the qualifier.
“This means the world to me,” Hammer said, per the Dallas Morning News. “I’ve dreamed about it my whole life. It’s going to be awesome.”

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict there will be more than one notable name at the US Open.

Mark Brooks is painful to listen to - he's paired with Brando on the featured group bonus coverage on DirecTV

This track is a contrived piece of garbage - links style, with a fucking train, random buildings in the course, bunkers filled with grey sand and those hills. The only thing it's missing is a clown's nose and a windmill.

Oh, that's right. Fans are expected to be quiet for the delicate golfers, as noise might disturb their "game."
Fucking pussies.

Was that the guy that thinks he lives inside Phil's head? And knew everything there was about golf? My god he was annoying, wouldn't shut the fuck up. He kept correcting Brando on little shit.
Btw, I'm rooting for the lefty.

This. The course sucks ass. All the grass looks dead, balls roll like playing on hardpan, the fairways all funnel into hazards, and putts bounce around like on the greens of a shitty public course. What the hell were they thinking by choosing that place? What fucking turd designed that POS?Dr. Strangelove wrote:This track is a contrived piece of garbage - links style, with a fucking train, random buildings in the course, bunkers filled with grey sand and those hills.

Uh, it was designed as a links style course, which answers damn near all your questions.
As for the grass, it's fescue, because that's what they use on a links style course.
The US Open has always demanded excellence to not look horrible. The tee/green setups at more traditional courses are contrived. At Chambers Bay, that's what it really is.
The course is killing most of the pros because they always favor distance over accuracy on drives. Not to mention that putting is so important here. The sloppy player is getting exposed. This is fun.

Look I appreciate links style championships when they are played in July not June.
The course looks like ass and fescue is an awful putting surface. The place is less than ten years old and it just feels like they tried too hard in replicating the old Scottish courses.
Also the rounds are way too slow almost 5.5 hours and it ain't all the players fault. The carries from green to the next tee are brutal.
Erin Hills is going to be similar to this in a couple of years but they don't have a choo-choo train

I was at an East Lansing establishment last night.. a bunch of people were on the television playing golf.. and the grass appeared to be brown.
Or did I have one too many Crooked Tree IPA's?

I'm sure you did on the IPAs but you were also correct on the color of the vegetation.

I'm enjoying it. Even though fox coverage is an abortion. When are they gonna roll out Terry Bradshaw, Howie long, and Frank Kaliendo?

My girlfriend is completely anti-long island iced tea. She says the drink serves no purpose except to fuck you up. She has some bullshit idea that we drink fermented beverages for some other fucking reason.
