Black Rating (2010 U.S. Open Championship): 75.5/Slope 145; Yardage - 7,040 (Par 71)

this cant be right. with no us open pressure, i still think it is more like 78. that means that even a 20 handicapper should break 100 occasionally.
what you're not factoring in is that the greens for the u.s. open will be infinitely faster than anything a 20 handicapper will have most likely ever played, numerous 3 and 4 putts that they dont normally do at their local club.....plus the rough will be much tougher than the rating would indicate, plus its tipped out

In addition to being fast Pebble's green are tiny poa annua greens. Doubt most folks on here have ever played on poa annua, but it can be worlds different from what we see in the south. Especially in the afternoon when the grass starts to bud and the greens get bumpy.
