Yes it took quite a while to play there when I was there and there was always a wait in the summer. You know the actual layout of the course is not bad and I believe it was to mimic 9 holes of the old Kemper course up north or one of the nicer courses in the area. But b/c it gets so much play from public hacks it was never in very good shape.

It is actually in really good shape...especially for a muni.

Bunch of whiners complaining about the conditions. Just STFU and play golf. God forbid there is ONE tournament a year that's actually difficult for these guys.

"USGA officials agreed, with executive director Mike Davis later admitting the setup was too tough and promising to slow the course down overnight."

The course set up was ridiculous. Not hard but they set them up for failure. It was crappy by the USGA.

Big controversy - did Mickelson disrespect the game by hitting a ball that was still moving, and was going to roll off the front of the green. He did it, knowing it was a 2 stroke penalty to hit a moving ball, and was willing to take the penalty to stop it from rolling. However, here is another rule:

Rule 1-2: Influence on Movement of Ball or Altering Physical Conditions
A player must not (i) take an action with the intent to influence the movement of a ball in play or (ii) alter physical conditions with the intent of affecting the playing of a hole.
Exceptions:
1. An action expressly permitted or expressly prohibited by another Rule is subject to that other Rule, not Rule 1-2.
2. An action taken for the sole purpose of caring for the course is not a breach of Rule 1-2.
*Penalty for Breach of Rule 1-2:
Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes.
*In the case of a serious breach of Rule 1-2, the Committee may impose a penalty of disqualification.
Note 1: A player is deemed to have committed a serious breach of Rule 1-2 if the Committee considers that the action taken in breach of this Rule has allowed him or another player to gain a significant advantage or has placed another player, other than his partner, at a significant disadvantage.
Note 2: In stroke play, except where a serious breach resulting in disqualification is involved, a player in breach of Rule 1-2 in relation to the movement of his own ball must play the ball from where it was stopped, or, if the ball was deflected, from where it came to rest. If the movement of a player's ball has been intentionally influenced by a fellow-competitor or other outside agency, Rule 1-4 applies to the player (see Note to Rule 19-1).

He says he did it to just “get to the next hole”, but he likely thought a 2 stroke penalty is better than the strokes he might have to take if it kept rolling forever. So - should he be DQ’ed? Should we quit in shame? Sell his clubs and never touch them again?

The squaw said “Don’t they know he has psoriatic arthritis?!?!” :lol:

Certainly not surprised you hold this view.

There's a lot of b!tching about the wind in the afternoon. Is the USGA supposed to be able to control the weather, too?

Are they going to soak the course down tonight so those poor babies will have an easier time? What an embarrassment.

LOL. The USGA freely admits it. Guys were hitting great shots onto greens and it was rolling off.

And whatever do you mean?

So the hell what? Everyone was playing the same damn course. A couple of guys shot 66, for God's sake.

It’s the exact same course for everyone, except the course changes from the morning to the afternoon which happens in every tournament everywhere. Suck it up, buttercups.
