That’s very strong coming from him.

Admittedly I am a casual golf fan/observer. I don’t really understand what his point was. Is the point that the people in charge of manicuring the golf course have made mistakes?

Is it an accusatory comment? Or is it more benign and that just the weather has made it unplayable?

I agree it’s a very interesting comment and seems like it carries a lot of weight. I just don’t really understand what it means to “lose the golf course”

ETA: is the issue specifically about the greens?

It’s roasted and hard as frick Zach needs to quit whining and play the course that is presented, I hate when they whine and do this stupid shite.

Add Stenson to the list. He used Zach's exact words.

Sounds like the US Open course is in great shape!

Go shoot 25 under at the John Deere some other day you Netjets logo'd up looking like a NASCAR driver prima Donna.

From Golfwrx:

PGA Tour players are slaying the USGA and its chief Mike Davis
Just look at these quotes from Brian Wacker’s bit for Golf Digest.

“It’s a private fraternity and you abide by their rules,” one multiple major winner said. “[USGA CEO] Mike Davis is Dean Wormer, except the ending is not as good as Animal House.”


James Hahn: “To me, that’s amateur hour...They don’t know how to run a professional event because they don’t run professional events.”


“Not only have we lost trust in the USGA as players, but I’ve lost trust in our national open to be in the hands of an organization like that. For how well other tournaments are run, the U.S. Open has fallen to the worst major that we have.”


“A lot of players are disenchanted with the organization, the tournament and the setup,” said a former winner of the event. “No, I don’t trust them.”
