Really pleased with the Fox broadcast for the US Open

Im ecstatic they got Holly Saunders up there. She really knows her golf, and that's all that matters*

I like it, too. Is this a long term thing or did they out bid someone once?

I'll be glad to see it back at traditional US Open courses. I mean these are ok but I like the rotational courses.

Starting next year:

Shennecock Hills
Pebble Beach
Winged Foot
Torrey Pines

The one last year was errr...unusual.

Sorry, meant 2015

Was that the one that had the train tracks right next to the tee box?

Just glad I don't have to listen to the pompous douchebaggery of Johnny Miller

Yep, Looked like a reclaimed strip mine with bad turf. Gary Player said in his 63 years as a golfer it was the worst course he`d ever seen a professional tournament played on.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Amen to that.

I didn't have as much of a problem with last year other than I'm not sure the course was ready for the open (green conditions)...maybe too young on the green complexes. Length and difficulty yah, but you can't give them blazing fast greens with bumpiness. That makes it unfair to me. the greens we not open quality. I'm guessing it was a way to get an open venue in the great northwest (Seattle) and they took their chance. I think they like/try to grow the game in all regions of the country.

I was watching this morning and some goy hit a good shot into the green to which I believe Paul Azinger said, "he hit that with such integrity". I guess Paul needs a thesaurus.

Chamber's Bay in Washington.

Azinger's almost as bad.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

No he's not even on the same planet as Miller.

The one last year was just dumb. There was that one green with about 8ft of level space. The rest would roll your ball 30 yards back in the fairway. There was the ridiculous 700 yard par 5 as well.
