          What was the us open course in Wisconsin that guys were literally -20 on??

          I think golf in general is promoting easier play to encourage more to try

          Locally all the municple courses removed trees and widened fairways and smoothed greens to make game easier

            if i could get out of golf, i would

            it is like dealing with a go cart track with access to beer

            noone actually plays unless very old (in which dead money does not pay dues), or a fukkin govt ran place where it doesnt matter how much money you lose per year

            worst business to be in

            i really cant rely on anything else though unless i want to go mow yards

              It wasn't too easy for your favorite golfer Tiger Woods. Care to explain that?

                  Too easy? Isn't it the same course for all players so how could it have any effect?

                    JJ. Grow up. Another losing post. You say you will not watch unless Tiger is playing but Tiger is an old guy. Do you go to granny strip shows?

                        This course will show its fangs tomorrow. Today the wind sat down.

                        The problem is in the technology. Brooks Koepka nearly drove a 410 yard par 4, lipped out a putt for an eagle, and was disappointed to make a tap in birdie. The composite clubs and juiced balls are making the courses look silly.

                          Totally agree. It is like singers. With today's technology, they can sound like anyone or anything they want. That is why they are, for the most art, so bad today.

                            this thread is pure ignorance

                            its the fukkin british open

                            ofcourse you have slow greens that arent severely sloped and shorter par 4s

                            because when the wind blows, the course would be unplayable otherwise

                              Gold thinks any course is easy that doesn't have a windmill they have to putt through.

                                The course looked tougher than it seems to be playing, scores too low, course is too easy. The Open is fukkin around here, the winner should be struggling to break par...now that's golf...

                                Two year ago, after 3 rounds of golf, the median and mean scores were 1 over par.

                                Last year after 3 rounds, the median was par and the mean closer to 1 under par (about two thirds a stroke).

                                After these 3 rounds this year, the median is 1 under par while the mean is about 1 and two thirds strokes under par.

                                Golfers have been progressively doing better relative to the course in recent years.

                                Or the course has been progressively getting easier relative to the field in recent years.

                                I could go on but you get the picture. Unless you can't see the value of this specific comparison, thinking weather and the different courses over the years are still factors in the comparisons.

                                I could see that that being true of you, but that would be a terrible direction to take the discussion.

                                  JJGold is a bigger joke than the British Open course.

                                  Doesn't mean he isn't good at his posting job.

                                    are you watching today?
                                    last year there was no bad weather either



                                    carnoustie is easily one of the toughest, if not toughest

                                    why talk golf when you want to throw out random numbers...you are showing results and im showing you the cause

                                      lets not forget, they moved up tee times to avoid the worst of the weather

                                                    Fukin clown show thread. One guy who actually knows the business & the rest Monday morning QB’s. Play any course when it’s cloudy and 60 with 7mph winds then the next day with rain & 25mph winds & tell me what your scores will be. Then guys commenting on 400yard drives when it’s on a fukin links course and says the balls are juiced

                                                      What happened to Tiger? Was it a physical breakdown, mental collapse, or a combination of ingredients. Obviously this course is playing about as tough as an executive course, and he managed to basically eliminate himself on day 1.

                                                              Lowry falling apart and Fleetwood not doing anything to take advantage of it. Blowing it 40 yards over the stick.
