That rough is cut ridiculously short, especially for a U.S. Open. Hope that video is a bit older and they've let it grow quite a bit.
The 2008 Open at Torrey was probably the most fun I've ever had watching golf. Aside from Tiger's heroics, 8pm Sunday night was AWESOME.Been waiting on this thread.
I’m super excited about it. West coast US Open is the absolute best. Love watching high stakes golf at 8:00 pm. This course looks interesting. Bermuda rough which isn’t your typical US Open rough, should come into play as the course looks narrow. Par 71 with five par 3s.

The U.S. Open has traditionally been a severe challenge to pro golfers. The idea being to challenge them at a level that compares to everyday hackers like I used to be. Bring them down to our level, sort of thing.But it's Bermuda, so it doesn't get long and stringy. It's more spongy but equally penalizing. Explained here:

that video just shows how steep some fairways are…a ball landing and rolling into the rough as shown, isn’t likely going to be that penal…there are other videos out showing rather severe rough.The U.S. Open has traditionally been a severe challenge to pro golfers.

I know about bermuda rough, and I've played courses with much thicker cuts. It's the devil's work, and the devil is what the pros are supposed to have to deal with in a U.S. Open. When I watch a U.S. Open, I want to see some bogeys and I want to see clubs thrown but even better, I like to see miraculously great recovery shots.
When a golf ball rolls into bermuda rough as in the video and sits up as those did in the video, the rough is too forgiving, IMO.
I did wonder if the rough was cut shorter there because of the slope of the fairway, thanks for the info.that video just shows how steep some fairways are…a ball landing and rolling into the rough as shown, isn’t likely going to be that penal…there are other videos out showing rather severe rough.
I don't know. Back when I actually tried to play golf, I had to regularly hit balls out of stuff deeper than that. Of course, they didn't exactly call that part of the course the rough either - if it technically was part of the course, lol.
same here. I got tired of telling people they should mow their yard more often.I don't know. Back when I actually tried to play golf, I had to regularly hit balls out of stuff deeper than that.

I had to look it up to see which one it was, and now I have to fairly agree with you. I know most people were probably pulling for Tiger but I wanted badly for Rocco to win because it was like pulling for David vs. Goliath. Either way though, it was a fantastic finish.The 2008 Open at Torrey was probably the most fun I've ever had watching golf. Aside from Tiger's heroics, 8pm Sunday night was AWESOME.
I think iron play will be key here, Scottie being #1 in strokes gained approach I think will be what leads him to a win:
Scottie
Finau

was that green side?…i’m not doubting you, but this is pretty tough…and were the greens like this?I don't know.

wife asked what i wanted for father’s day and it’s the same every year, me in front of the screen watching the carnage and the heroics.this one should be fun. Ever heard of an 80, as in eighty, yard par three where one actual strategy will be to lay up?
This might be the pro version of playing Tobacco Road.
damn!!I’m in a golf pool where I could potentially win over $3k. So for that reason go Cam Smith lol
What a dark horse. Got those winning lotto numbers tonight also?Been waiting on this thread.

it might be to me as well if it was just a tour stop. But to have those scores in the first round of the U.S. Open makes it a lot less interesting. Especially when the leader is Ricky Fowler, the worst 'name' golfer on the tour. What a joke.This a fantastic course and so fun to watch
maybe the usga had a meeting last night…”did you hear about the water shortage in orange county?”it might be to me as well if it was just a tour stop.

it I was the USGA, I'd be throwing rattlesnakes and alligators out on the course and setting off fireworks on the tees..maybe the usga had a meeting last night…”did you hear about the water shortage in orange county?”
I’m not even gonna address this. Guess I did but not again.it might be to me as well if it was just a tour stop.

I bet I can get you to do it again. Wanna bet?I’m not even gonna address this. Guess I did but not again.

This is gonna be a good oneSet up for a great finish on Father’s Day
You betcha, although I have mixed emotions....I'm loving Harris English being in contention but I'm hating the hiccups the course is giving him. All in all though, it'll be a shame if that two horse race doesn't go down to the wire. I'm pulling for Clark. Fowler is such a loser.@bluetoe are you smiling somewhere right now?
Scheffler might end up biting both Fowler and Clark in the rear end.Rickie bogeying that last hole might end up biting him in the rear end.
