Running 2024 golf thread

When contacted, they said, "!!!!!"

 

I have not seen so many players fold under the pressure collectively as the women did on Sunday at the US Open. Minjee Lee, who's a two-time major winner and 2022 Champion had a 3 stroke lead around 5 and completely folded. She was 1 for 8 on fairways hit to start then took a double I think. Then she hit it into the water on 12 and it was over. I was rooting for her. Credit to Saso who instead hit the accelerator and birdied 4 on the back 9 with bombs off the tee and laser irons.

 

I'll be 91. Wonder if the assisted living center will prop me up to watch?

 

New USGA Golf House Pinehurst ensures that the resort will get whatever it wants when it comes to USGA championships.

 

We heard this when the Open was held there in 2013 and the winner was +1.

 

Yeah, length isn't everything. We held our Amateur championship last year at a 6,700-yard course, which is pretty short for a field full of good college and high school players that hit it a mile. But the fairways were tight with tricky sidehill lies everywhere, and the greens were tiny and if you got above the hole on most, you were in jail. Two-day stroke-play qualifying, best score was 8-under. A couple of years prior, we played a track about 500 yards longer but more wide open and someone shot -16 over two days. Length isn't the only defense for a good golf course.

 

I'll be ...old.
