Mickelson - Els - Goosen

Mickelson for some reason
1:36 Thurs
8:06 Fri

I think Tiger takes it by 3 or 4 shots. He's driving the ball well and that spells trouble for the the competition. Also, there are 3 par 4's over 500 yards and a par 5 over 600! That is fucking long!

6/15/2009 10:48:10 PM

I don't think Tiger wins...everything's lining up for him to win, and so many times in sports when thats the case, a darkhorse emerges

Then again, he's Tiger Fucking Woods, so who am I to bet against him

I say one of Stenson, Oglivy, or Sergio prevails...so much for the "US" Open

6/15/2009 11:31:44 PM

counting out Padraig?

6/16/2009 8:26:40 AM

Yeah, he's a great player, but not "3 out of 4 Majors" great

6/16/2009 8:44:43 AM

wait, so you count out the guy who has won 3 majors in the last 2 years but predict Sergio, a known choke-artist, and 2 others with one combined major between them to be in the final battle come sunday?

6/16/2009 9:08:37 AM

I'm going out on a limb

6/16/2009 9:12:44 AM

Come on, I know he is a black guy that masquerades as a whitey, but at his core, he is still black, he can only know so much about golf, which is, not much.

6/16/2009 9:12:49 AM

go Tim Clark. (although, sport something NCSU for once )

6/16/2009 10:11:55 AM

Ive Played the course 15-20 times... and i will be there this weekend (along with Biofreak70)

Based on what ive seen (and shot from the back tees), this will be won by the long hitter who can keep it in the fairways. Yeah it sounds easy, but there is no way a guy like Zach Johnson or some other short knocker can make it around this course alive.

the stretch between 15-18 will show everyone what these guys are really made of.

My best was a 74 from the back tees with 3 par 4's over 500 yards. I'm eager to see where these guys are shooting.

Go Phil and Rocco!!

FYI, if any of you golfers live in/around Raleigh, stop by Golfsmith and get a no purchase necessary "official entry form" for their Callaway promotion. Fill it out and mail it in by tomorrow, then if Phil or Rocco wins, you get a free Diablo ($300), FT9 ($400), or FTiQ ($500) driver. Longshot, but it's just the cost of a stamp.

6/16/2009 11:57:00 AM

^ i'm guessing you have to have your form drawn first, right? surely that isn't for everyone who fills out a form

6/16/2009 12:38:00 PM

^^you and brett are going to NY for this?

6/16/2009 1:01:46 PM

i thought it was if you bought it and they one it was free ... if they dont you're stuck with a driver?


if it's the latter how far back does it go ? i bought a diablo about 2 weeks ago like 2 days before the commercials started :x

6/16/2009 1:10:14 PM

^^ flying up on thursday morning... My parents live about 10 minutes from Bethpage. We are working the merchandising tent friday and saturday morning with VIP passes for the afternoon golf both days... Sunday too if we choose so.

6/16/2009 1:24:53 PM

^^ and ^^^^:

Well, that's concept of the promotion, you buy one of those drivers and then if Phil or Rocco wins, they give you a rebate check that makes your driver free. But I read the fine print and there's no purchase necessary, just go into the store and get the official no purchase necessary form, fill it out, mail it in (post marked by tomorrow) and then if one of them wins they mail you the driver of your choice. And yes, it is in fact everyone who submits a form, not just one or two. I guess they count on no one reading the fine print.

Pick: Tiger Woods +150

What stands out to me about these money lines is where Ogilvy stands. I wouldnt put him nearly that high but he is really long and straight off of the tee.

How about some Rory McIlroy FTW

6/16/2009 4:54:18 PM

people just like saying "Bethpage Black"


as in the case of this thread title... normally it would have just been "2009 US Open"

6/16/2009 7:03:29 PM

how again is golf impressive? t-i-single guh-er does pretty much the same thing as my 80 year old boss and every other old guy.

i doubt t-i-single guh-er could ever fit in a, lets see, hockey (insert other competitive sport) game. but a hockey player could become a respectable golfer with practice.

that being said, go field.

6/16/2009 7:45:02 PM

you do know tiger benches like 300 pounds right? i'd imagine he could probably play hockey with some practice

6/16/2009 8:01:39 PM

^that's not really that much. so i do something better than t-i-single guh-er.


i'm just saying that i have more respect for athletes, not golfers. i doubt tiger could
-skate
-take a hit
-hit a pitched baseball at over 88 mph
-kick a field goal
-return a serve
-play the 2 in basketball

all of the above sporting feats are done professionally by people who could become average golfers. t-i-single guh-er could never cross over.

that being said, go field

6/16/2009 8:10:56 PM

shut up faggot

you're trying to derail this thread before the Open even begins

Get Fucked

6/16/2009 8:26:54 PM

tiger's a pretty fucking good tennis player .. and yes shut the fuck up faggot

6/16/2009 8:32:46 PM

yes, i'm sure t-i-single guh-er, risks injury playing tennis.

that being said, go field

for anyone who has an iPhone and wants to follow the Open, the US Open app has been released and it looks pretty good. Very similar to what was published for the Masters. Good, free app.

GO PHIL AND ROCCO!!

6/17/2009 9:13:29 AM

i'm looking forward to this weekend... I'm gonna bring my State visor and see if I can get clarky to sign it for me

I'll be pulling for him (but won't have my hopes up too high)- he's placed 3rd or better in the other 3 majors, but his best US Open finish is a T-23rd


along with him, I'll be pulling for Camillo, and probably Phil (just cause I don't want tiger to win, and it would be nice if Phil could win this one for Amy)

^^^applaud wildly when t-i-single guh-er misses a put and curses at you. then tell him that "the big lebowski" quote about prior restraint and swearing isn't relevant and deals mostly with censorship.

that being said, go field

Haha okay if all you need is a little practice, then how come you aren't on tour?

Of course this is the same guy DEFENDING steroid use in the other thread.

6/17/2009 12:39:27 PM

what's being said is that if given money (like t-i-single guh-er had with his father as a military officer), most people could develop a respectable golf game. professional athletes especially since they are just better at sports, er physical activity (golf is not a sport), would have no problem and do have no problem becoming fine duffers

doubtful most golfers would be able to play say, AA baseball with success, eldrick included

Jordan is considered a good golfer by the standards of other sports, and he shot an 89 at bethpage black this weekend, this was considered pretty good for him.

If he was somehow exempted from the cut, he would lose the US open by at least 50 strokes.

Golf has as much disparity between pro-level and amateur-level than ant other sport.

I'm watching the golf channel as I am getting ready and they said tiger went way left of the tee on #1. The weather looks terrible with 15-20 mph winds and rain all fucking day.

6/18/2009 8:18:04 AM

tiger got it into a front greenside bunker from way left on one, blasted to 8 feet, and made the par putt. E through 1

cabrera and harrington, paired with Tiger, both bogeyed the hole. the weather looks brutal. anyone under par today will be in the top 10 i would think
