Anyone watching the US OPEN?
 
I can't stand how the greens are set up. Terrible. No way should they be that difficult. I know the PGA likes to set up the majors to be difficult, but sometimes they are plain rediculous.

Go Retief Goosen.

Yeah, watching it with my Dad. We have a little pool going between him and me. We picked 3 guys who we thought would win on Thursday. If one of ours won, he'd get $10. My dad picked Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson, and Ernie Els. I chose Tiger Woods, Retief Goosen, and Vijay Singh. It's pretty entertaining to watch golf, surprisingly.

Gore sure has been fun to watch. Like a sober, not as fat John Daly.

Go Gore

Who doesnt like a fat drunken John Daly.

Oh don't get me wrong, I do. I was only making a comparisson.

What's wrong with the greens? Sure they're difficult but these are the best golfers in the world. Also it's not like it gives anyone an unfair advantage over anyone else.

Supreme Olajuwon 06-20-2005 06:55 PM

And man, talk about falling apart. What happened? 80s everywhere

Players should be winning with scores like evens. Have scores like 18 under and all that makes a mockery of majors.

FUCK YEAH MICHAEL CAMPBELL!!!! NEW ZEALAND REPRESENT! WHOO!!!

All Credit to him :D

What the fuck happened to Retief Goosen? That was very un-Goosen-like of him today.

YOUR Hero 06-20-2005 08:41 PM

The greens shouldn't be so sloped and fast. In fairness, they weren't as bad as prior years so I'm protesting a bit too much today. Nice to see someone else other than Tiger Woods win.

I hates him.

The greens were pretty fast but it doesn't give an advantage or disadvantage to anyone in particular so it doesn't really matter.

YOUR Hero 06-20-2005 11:06 PM

well actually yes it does. Fast greens are usually an advantage to players ranked high in the short game and putting. Just like short courses are an advantage to long hitters. However, let us let it go.

Gonzo 06-20-2005 11:08 PM

I did have what I thought to be a good point on the matter but I have since forgotten it. I wasn't going to bring it up right then because I didn't see it as being relevant right then and there so fuck.

Yeah sure, players who excel in the short game are better off I guess but then you could have some sort of complaint about every course out there.
