Welcome to the 2019 US Open golf thread.
It takes place this year at what Alister McKenzie called "The greatest meeting between land and sea." Pebble Beach.
I played Pebble Beach in 1982 - shooting an 44-40. One of my most memorable rounds of golf. My heart was pounding through my chest on the first tee as the starter announced - "hailing from Beaverton, Oregon - clackamascoug! I hit it right down the middle - hit a nine into the green and two putted for a par. Yes - six was fun - Seven was exciting - but my favorite was the second shot on Eight. I hit a good drive and was left with a 5 iron into the green. I left it short left two feet from the green chipped up and two putted for a bogey. I stood there waiting for the group to putt out and I looked back at the cliff and where I'd hit from and thought to myself - "damn this place is beautiful." On Eighteen I hit my third shot to 12 feet and missed my birdie. It was by far - my most favorite round of golf. Including the 71 I shot at Hobble Creek.
Well - our mustachioed baritone has been kicking ass and taking names the last two majors. I suggest that RC or DH step up and do something about it.
I liked the format for the PGA we just played - but want to adjust it with two alternates for the weekend - just in case your guys get cut.
Pick 4 and two alternates players. Player can only be used one day - including alternates.
Pick a guy for Thursday
Pick a guy for Friday
Pick a guy for Saturday - and an alternative.
Pick a guy for Sunday - and alternate.
Your score for the day will be posted - the lowest 72 holes wins. Winner gets free six months of CougarStadium.com membership.
