The Trump has been on a Twitter tirade all weekend about how horribly the course looks. These two are a small sample, if you click the link to his Twitter, he has more than a handful of critical tweets.

I'd bet the horrible look of Pinehurst translates into poor television ratings. This is not what golf is about!

I thought the return to its original design was great. I will add I do think the natural areas should be much thicker/dense

He should write a new book about it. He could cover it in Chapter 11. All four of them.

Worst US Open I can remember... but not really bc of the course (though it looked like shite, but so do most of the British Open courses)... it was over before I got off work on Friday.

He also claims trump Philadelphia is better than pine valley, trump LA is better than Pebble Beach, Trump Doral is better than Seminole, Trump Scotland is better than Saint Andrews, Trump Peurto Rico is better than any course in the Carriebean, Trump Bedminster is better than Winged Foot or Shinnecock, so you can kind of take that with a grain of salt.

Why do the Native Areas need to be thicker? I thought they were perfect... You always found your ball, and you usually had a shot. Thick native areas or deep rough eliminate the possibility of a recovery. That makes for boring, penal golf with endless ball searches that make the rounds take longer.

I think he has a point. That course looked like crap. Martin Kaymer DGAF, though.

if Kaymer doesn't run away with it, its your typical US open...it sucked that there was no drama in the final round and really no starpower because of it


as for the course, i love the design....the course does look brown and worn, but more of that has to do with the new environmental friendly irrigation system

i don't think it was in bad condition at all, just didnt look that great on an HDTV

i thought the natural areas were well done...penalizing, but not unfair...a nice test of golf

i'd rather thick rough than that sand shite that went into the fairways.

the greens were also completely unforgiving. they had like a 5 foot landing window or else it was over the back or down the front of the green

Tiger would have helped the ratings.

The redeisgn didn't translate well to the HDTV era. The retro wastelands looked like construction zones on a local munie.

That coupled with the runaway win made for bad television.

Oh well - onto the next major.

I agree with him. Looked like US Open was being played at any BR area BREC park. Those BREC bitches can't keep grass growing in an area that rains year round.
