This guy MacIntyre is one annoying pain in the ass. Bitching every two minutes about the drone, people moving, people talking, where people are standing. He is slow as **** and just a guy I can't root for.

I am thinking about purchasing a launch monitor. The Garmin R10 costs around $450.
Do you guys have any experience with monitors? I golf 85ish on good days, 90 on a rough day. My 12 year old son has really taken to playing, and has a beautiful swing. I think we'd use the hell out of a monitor, but I probably won't go the projector route, just a net and maybe a cheap 65" TV. |

I think paying a top notch golf instructor for your son would be money better spent.

I've been watching nearly all of the US Open so far and I can't believe the brutality of these greens.
Guys hitting beautiful high shots into the green from 150-175, landing in a great spot and the ball won't stay on the green. Fast as hell, dry, hard and no rough around greens to stop balls from rolling into bunkers, off greens or coming back off false fronts. I don't think I could break 125 playing under these conditions from the pro tees. |

What was your handicap? The only ppl playing 7000 yards should be scratch golfers.

.6 was the lowest my handicap has ever been. You don't have to be scratch to play from 7,000 yards though. That's just silly. If you're young and haven't developed your distance yet or you're old and losing distance playing 7,000 probably isn't in your best interest though. On a firm course with me hitting it good I can get around a course of that length. As far as what I shoot it will depend on the flat stick.

Yardage is 7,548 and only Par 70.
My best handicap was a 7.8 from 1996-2002 when I was playing 3 days a week while living in California. I am NOT a natural golfer but a practice, practice, practice guy. I played on the high school team when I first began playing and I was on the JV team at either 3 or 4 spot. Once I got good, there were many courses I played the tips at my peak because I could hit 285-315 drives in the fairway. Once I saw a course at over 6,800 yards, I would play the next set of tees to stay between 6650 and 6850 yards. I've played some great courses in life. The only thing I care about for someone ahead of me playing the tips is, you better play in 4-4 1/4 hours. |

The players hit the ball too hard for the other elements to pose much challenge. |

Molinari made a hole in one on 9 to make the cut on the button.
