I think the USGA can be a stuck up group of people who think their shit does not stink but..... I'm tired of hearing guys bitch about the conditions of the course. I want to see rough where you have to hit it sideways to get out ( a half a stroke or more penalty ) and I think if you miss the green you should be happy unless you hit an incredible pitch to have a 15 to 20 footer for par.
These whiny babies want greens that hold every shot they hit into the greens and God forbid they have to actually worry about speed on their putts. If they want greens that hold and slower speeds on the greens then the rough should be 8 inches long so you must hit the fairway with your drives period.
I loved the US Open because it meant that even par was a goal to win. Not only should you be physically exhausted but you should be mentally exhausted as well. Jack Nicklaus came in 2nd how many times in a major? How many times did you hear him complain about the conditions or the bad break he got on a hole or a green when he lost?
Hard to believe that my 3 favorite majors will all be in the books by the middle of June.... weird!
