P.S. JOE who are you picking this week??? Dome, here is a subject with which I am in complete accord with you. Well, except for the gambling part. But I am always pumped for the majors, and this US Open in particular has so many great story lines. Starting with being played at Pebble Beach, which is in itself enough reason to watch any tournament. And without the annoying Pro-Am aspect. I don't need to see Ray Romano trying to chip in. For one thing, Phil Mickelson needs it to complete a career Grand Slam. I can't imagine he will get it -- I noticed that he is one of the few players you do not have money on, and I think that is a wise move -- but in case of a miracle, it would be amazing. He has been runner-up six times, and his 49th birthday is Sunday. It would also make him the oldest to ever win a major -- right now Julius Boros holds that record at age 48. Phil's last tour win was at Pebble in February. So -- stranger things have happened in golf. Not many, though. Probably the best story line is Brooks Koepka going for his third straight US Open. It only happened once before -- Scottish-born later US citizen Willie Anderson did it in the early days, 1903-1905. Willie will get some well-deserved mention this weekend. He died shortly after his thirty-first birthday. He is buried in the same cemetery in Philadelphia as Joe Frazier, soul legend Harold Melvin and 1920s tennis all-time great Bill Tilden. Of course Tiger Woods is always his own story line, especially since that win at the Masters. I would be very happy if either Tiger, Phil or Brooks takes it. Rory has been hot, Spieth is making moves toward recovering, DJ is always a factor. But this is shaping up to be a really great one. I backed out of a couple of social engagements this weekend just to sit in front of the tube with a steady flow of gin and tonics to watch this. It seems to me that if any one of your picks comes in, you come out ahead based on those odds. Let's get ready to rumble!! |

Following up on the subject of Mickelson needing a US Open to complete a career Grand Slam (because I am a golf history geek as well as a baseball history geek.) In the modern era (since the inception of the Masters in 1934), there have been eight other golfers who won three legs of the career Grand Slam. In addition to Phil, two others are active -- Rory McIlroy, who needs the Masters, and Jordan Spieth, who needs the PGA. The others (with their missing major) are Arnold Palmer (PGA), Tom Watson (PGA), Sam Snead (US Open), Lee Trevino (Masters) Byron Nelson (British Open) and Raymond Floyd (British Open).
Six golfers have a career Grand Slam -- Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player and Bobby Jones. In the case of Jones, he won what was recognized at the time as a Grand Slam -- the US and British Open and the US and British Amateur. He is a special case. Had he turned professional, he would have won the PGA and the Masters. Hell, he invented the Masters. He was like Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan or Tom Brady, he could do whatever he wanted to do.
The last player before Koepka to win back to back US Opens was Curtis Strange in 1988-89. The others were Ben Hogan (50-51), Ralph Guhldahl (37-38), Bobby Jones (29-30), John McDermott (11-12) and the aforementioned Willie Anderson.
John McDermott is one of the most compelling and unjustifiably obscure stories in the history of golf. I think I am going to have to write the book on that one.
And yes Joe, who do you have in the US Open? That is the most important question here.

The US OPEN was always the one time of year that I saw the pro golfer as playing a bit more of the kind of golf my lack of talent forced me to play. The course is set up to make the game difficult to stay in the fairways (I seldom used them. Sometimes I felt as though I would have preferred my standard “fluffy” lie in the rough to a tight one on the fairway).
They often find themselves in deep grass because they let it the rough get a bit longer (Much like the low-budget courses I tended to play). They sometimes have to search for their ball (admittedly, at least a third of mine had to be hunted down).
Because they are hitting from the rough the pros will often see the ball hit the green, but roll right off because they can’t get any spin on it, causing them to duff a few trips in the long, greenside rough (been there, done that).
Watching inger-style golf, only with talented players. One thing they still don’t do often enough to make me feel better about my game is hit from behind and within trees... 🥴
Yep, the Masters is heaped in tradition, though a bit stuffy. The US Open is, I believe set up they golf was in tended to be played. The only things missing from the original game are the on-course sheep and the cow patties.
With the fine equipment these guys have today, I like to see the courses a bit more tricked up week to week. I think it would make for more exciting tournaments...

With the fine equipment these guys have today, I like to see the courses a bit more tricked up week to week. I think it would make for more exciting tournaments... Pebble Beach is a bit different. If the course is damp with little wind, scores can be low across the board. There is not a lot of rough per se, though there are unrecoverable cliffs and the ocean. If it is windy and dry, it can play like a true links course, where hitting the ball low and running the ball up the apron onto the greens is a must. If not, it can be target practice, staying below the hole and putting up hill, avoiding gravity and undulation. It’s a beautiful course, but it can be a professional golfer’s dream or a nightmare, especially if the winds are high and the greens are dry and worn by the weekend. Incidentally, the fact that there isn’t a ton of rough is why Tiger Woods may have a chance. Pebble can be played with a three wood, a hybrid, or an iron from the tees. Tiger can avoid his driver, which is normally how he gets into trouble. If conditions are mild, then the superior drivers off the tee will turn the par fives into an aviary...birdies and eagles. |

A lot of low scores in the early going. Maybe the years of whining about how tough US Open courses have been is paying off for the players.

SCORES TOO LOW--Everything was perfect = Weather, Wind, Greens...
Wait for the Winds, Marine Layer and for the Greens to harden = Different Game |
