That would bend the first time you tried it!

That's why I'm going with precipitation hardened stainless.

Sheesh! 1,800+ women haven't learned their place in life. Someone needs to perform some discipline training. Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen... NOT on the golf course!!!!

Another absolute truth spoken by limp. The man is some kind of guru.

Good choice. 17-4 won't ever rust unless you store it in salt water for a long time. 1030 would be rusted in a week.

For those of you who forgot here's what the opener looks like (sorta).



Going to use 17-7 or 17-4 stainless.

Do a pitch fork repairer on the other end, then its a cool 2-in-1!

Good idea!

Hmm ... might make it a bit long.

I love jack and Coke. However, it once led to an incident involving a baseball glove, tub of Crisco, 3 pounds of salt water taffy,Glark and a credit card bill I still can't explain.

How 'bout them Broncos?

How 'bout them Broncos?

Is that a professional hockey team?? Or, curling????

Made some changes in my "challenge" picks. Oakmont... Known for extremely quick and wicked greens. Also requires accuracy off the tee due to the "church pew" bunkers. Distance off the tee won't help if you are buried in a bunker. When you 3-jack a green, you have to have the mental stability to put it behind you and move on.

Fowler has not been sharp this year. Neither has Spieth. Spieth is not known for being able to put bad holes in the past and concentrate on the holes in front. DJ has been playing well, but his putter can be his worst enemy. I don't know that Day is healthy, but it's difficult to bet against him. Patrick Reed has been stellar this year, but I don't think his emotional stability will tolerate those greens. At this point in time, I've changed to....
Stenson: His accuracy off the tee and putting are both strong suits.
Zach Johnson: Same, but has made a fortune with his SeeMore putter.
Oosthuisen: Same good accuracy off tee box and excellent putter.
Jason Day: Again, can't bet against him. Not known for his driving ability, but is good with the flat stick.

All above subject to change numerous times in the next week or so.......

All good here Limp. I read your post with interest. I like your reasoning.

Although, I might have have gone for 3 of the usual suspects I tried to pick mine on form. My dark horse is Russell Knox. He has been improving nicely in the last 12 months.

And, I still really want to work Kuchar into the mix. He's been playing well... and he is so much fun to watch. Cannot imagine how wide that grin would be if he won a Major.

Matty is a class act but I'm not backing off my 4. And since I'm the defending US Open Champ my opinion is the only one that matters
