[Herky] Non-Herky U S Open

[Keith Voigts]

I agree with all your comments-for Augusta.  I just thought those greens out
there were ridiculous.  Of course, the leaders were under par, and normally
U S Opens  result in winners around par, so my argument is closer to lame
than I would like to admit.  However, those greens...................

Not me. I play on a course that is similar in many respects and it is fun to
see the pros have to deal with the elements that I have to. These are the
best in the world and they should be able to excel in any conditions not
just when every thing is perfect. It really brings out the mental aspect of
the game because you have to think more about the shot you are going to make
and you have to concentrate on even the 3 footers.   The best golfers will
still rise to the top.

 

Now I would agree that the greens were not where they wanted them but that
is life. Deal with it. You will have a couple of holes over the course of a
day where the putt will not be perfectly straight. You hear the complaints
about the times it made them miss but not the times they mis-read/hit it but
with the slight change it went in. That stuff all evens out over the course
of the tourney. Are you mentally tough enough to get through it and continue
to make good shots.

Do any of you golfers out there share my disappointment in the US Open
course?  Tee to green was ok, but far too long.  And the greens were goofy
golf.  I want to see the world's greatest golfers stick the ball by the pin,
not worry about hitting it roll 50' past the pin and then turn around to
roll 60-70' the other way.  I saw one putt turn on a dime and run off the
course into a sand trap.

 

That is not world class golf.  That is stuff you experience at the Crazy
Hollow Putt-Putt (name imagined).
