Smart ass. Plumb bobbing works. Look at all the pros that do it. If some of those would have plumb bobbed at the US Open they would have made more putts!Not even if you spent the usual 5 minutes plumb bobbing each shot could you have.

My thoughts exactly. Spectators like to see their favourites contending. Putts that wobble all over the place don't please the spectators or the players.
I can understand frustration with the greens. Suck it up. You play golf for a living and have attained a level where you make millions in winnings and endorsements each year. If you don't like the conditions on one of the courses, fine. Just don't act like a spoiled brat on the course. Your actions are NOT what we need young folks entering this game to see. The next time I find a chunk out of a green where a temper tantrum saw someone dig in his $5.00 K-Mart putter, it's your fault!!!
What's the deal with the players who are on Ping's staff?? Bubba and Horschel are both whiners. It's about time for John Solheim to lock both in a small room... with The Mechanic... and the one that comes out able to walk is the only one endorsed by Ping after that.
Mr. Cabrera could help too. Those two could work the brats over.
^^^this.
FWIW, Horschel publicly apologized. So he's got that going for him...
Now that it's had time to settle in...I was of the "suck it up, they all play the same course" mentality, when it dawned on me that no, they in fact did not play the same course. My home course had poa in the bent grass greens, but it was a municipal course so whataya gonna do? Anyhow, I remember that it's not consistent. poa grows in patches, not uniformly, so one player could be 5' left of the pin and have a smooth putt with no poa, and the other player could be 5' right and have a broccoli patch to put through. Same hole, same time of day, two very different conditions. Also, poa grows faster than fescue so the afternoon guys would have had it worse.
Just food for thought.

Fox's first "almost" admission that their US Open show sucked donkey dong:
Holly Sonders reassigned on Fox s live golf telecasts after U.S. Open debacle For The Win

Crap. Looking at Holly Sonders is the best part of the telecast.
Makes sense, since the rest of the broadcast was unlistenable.Crap. Looking at Holly Sonders is the best part of the telecast.
