  • I played the north course a few years back.  LACC is one where caddies are required.  By the end, I could tell the caddy just wanted me to pick it up and get the fuck out.  It's a bitch of a course.

    This was a curiously emotional watch for me. My Dad died at the end of 12/19. My boys and my Mom were over for dinner We’ve been watching all weekend. And the story resonated. Good for him

I’m sure the usga got a big check and a ton of ‘perks’ this week

@kingkoopa6 How is that course for the gallery? The NLU guys had expressed a concern that it wouldn’t be a great experience. 

I thought it was pretty terrible. I walked the whole thing on Tuesday other than holes 2-4 and didn’t really see a spot I loved while also not liking the flow if you were going to try to follow a group around. Immediately texted my buddy that it was going to be way better to watch on tv.

I just came from there. I don’t think it’s going to be a big problem for those guys. Huge green. It will be like trying to hit a fairway for then with a 3/5 wood. Don’t get me wrong I don’t expect many birdies, but I bet it doesn’t play all that hard. 
I hate 6. Nobody going to go for it at 320. Need to move it up to 280 or 290 if you want to turn it into a true decision hole. 
4 things I noticed:

Great and picturesque setting 

wide fairways for an open. 
rough isnt all that bad for an open imo. 
bunkers will be a bitch. All tricked out. Gnarly rough. Goofy sand. 

So yeah, didn’t know anyone was going to tie tin cups all time record for a major, but wasn’t expecting it to be a typical US Open test and it’s certainly not so far. 
there’s just no defense for this course for the pros, at least except maybe the bunkers, and that’s not all that big a deal. There’s also just not much in the way of trouble for them out there.

One thing that pisses me off about the LACC is that it sits on 313 prime acres in Beverly Hills that I’ve seen value estimates as high as $6-9 billion. They pay $300K/yr.  in property taxes. Are they classified as a church? No wonder California is broke. 

Different tax structure than Texas and some other states.  Property taxes in California are relatively low.  The better country clubs in Houston, for example, pay around $1 million or more per year in property taxes on a value that's probably less than 5% of the value of LACC.  So it's apples and oranges.

Other than the driving range..... unless you have a suite or something golf tournaments pretty much suck live. TV is way better. 

Just saw phil take of his sunglasses while contemplating his long-ass par putt on 1.
 

Holy shit he looks like burnt fuck run over. Aged 10+ in the last 2 years it looks like.

Dude can still swing it, though. 

Oh definitely. It was more a remark to how much this whole ordeal has taken an obvious physical toll on him.

Reap what you sew of course, but dayum.

At the PGA the NLU guys said he looked like Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday.

I understand that. It’s just dumb that LACC has an assessed value of $40M when, in reality, it should be 100x+ that. I don’t think that’s what Prop 13 was supposed to accomplish. 

Based on the early returns, it appears that the USGA toughened up the course considerably.

That’s exactly what it was supposed to accomplish

Pissed off that Snakey gave those goldurn sips such an easy first year schedule.

Yesterday there were 37 golfers under par. So far today there are 24 golfers under par with a good chunk left to tee off. I'd expect todays scoring average to pretty close to yesterdays.

Rory going with the Saturday collapse this major. He really keeps you on your toes.

Friday collapse* 

Holy fuck this group in front of Rory and Brooks has spent like 20 mins dicking around in the trees. 

It's Harman apparently. Hit the fucking ball dude.

They have been causing Rory & Brooks to wait constantly all fucking day. It’s been a beating following that featured group. 

I think Koepka is going to walk up there and strangle him.

Jordan is having a Speithy day.

Anyone else get the sense that Greller may be getting the boot soon? I dont think hes a bad caddie at all, but sometimes a player just needs a change. It feels like they are constantly not on the same page.

And i would have no problems at all with it. Dude is slow playing them big time.

Damn. Rory came to play this week. Almost jarred it on 9.

And y’all were writing off Rory at the turn…

I was somewhat kidding. Front 9 is so much easier. 

Wow. Rory def kicked it up coming in. 
 

Rolling it an inch from the hole on 9 (18th hole) was wild to watch. Then Matsuyama sticks it close too. 
 

Then there’s Koepka.

In the bunker. “You’re away.”

Rolls it 20ft past the hole. “Still away.”

Putts. “Still away.”

😂
 

 

Rory seems to get the better of Koepka when they play together but maybe I'm making it up. 2019 he ran him down for the Tour Championship. I feel like there was also another major where they were paired to open and Rory was a lot better. 

Jordan looks to be MC but will be fun watching Rickie and Rory

Actually a couple of months ago a buddy and I were talking about Jordan and Greller looking like they aren't getting along.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see a change at season end.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s not giving Jordan what he needs in the head and attitude game.

That's Annie's department.  Probably cheaper to change caddies though.

Will be interesting to see how far clear of Rory Rickie and/or X can get. Neither of them wants to be in the Rory group.

I guess Clark will help buffer it. 

Playing much tougher in the sun. Let’s hope the next 2 afternoons are more like this. 

FYI featured group with X is showing a lot of Fowler's shots on usopen.com.
