U.S. Open

[philcski]

My home course for 10 years and my absolute favorite course anywhere... hopefully the rain stops and they can play under reasonable conditions. Otherwise it'll be just too difficult, even for the US Open.

Furyk, Curtis, Hart, Z Johnson, Perry?

I've never seen it rain this much in one day up here Pgard. It rained pretty steadily all day and then at about 4 it started pouring hard. It hasnt let up since. I cut my lawn last night and probably will have to again by the end of this weekend. Tonight its chicken parmesan, chocolate cake and in a few minutes the Belmont replays from today.

well the USGA blew folks - how in the world could they not give a rain check to the fans yesterday

this could be their dumbest decision ever , no reason not to refund the patrons or to let them come out on another day - a clueless decision made by some clueless suits

all the players have an obligation to speak out about this disaster , but tiger and phil have the largest microphones - please 1 of you 2 superstars speak up for the fans 1x please , if it's not for them you ain't playing for squat

Tiger and Phil were too busy chasing all those great horses who ran in the mud yesterday at Belmont. I heard Tiger needed "Titletown Tiger" for a huge score and wasnt too happy when the jockey put a strangle hold on him and took away any chance he may have had

Thats going to clearly affect any chance Tiger may have had at winning this year's open.

Gales, you bringing one of those bunnies in your office out to see some golf today? Then to the Party at the Park for some twiglight racing at Belmont? Then off to Manhattan for a late dinner then dancing all night?

Now they have updated their decision to make it Monday for a rain date, if play is continued on Monday. That still stinks.

I agree, they should however I'm sure the tickets have a disclaimer on them regarding inclimate weather. I think NBC mentioned it, I'm not sure it's Tiger's place to say anything, he has enough on his plate...same with Phil.

We are under water restrictions...

I am actually siphoning water out of my washing machine onto the yard.
Luckily my washing machine is at a higher level than my yard.

BTW

Getting soapy water right down the throat into the lungs is unpleasant.
Maybe this can replace waterboarding.
