You are making the case the Erin Hills was a poor choice.

They really didn't cut back on that much of the fescue.
Also,
at OP saying I know nothing about golf but calling the US Open venue in 2020 Wingfoot.Posted on 6/18/17 at 9:03 pm to kilo

That 8 people were below 280 in soft conditions?
Just like the traditional US Open setup of Congressional?

Maybe, but I don't lie about scores of the past
Thieves and liars are the worse. Congrats on only proving you're a liar so far.
Throwing out false numbers about scores at last years US Open to try and lie about a stupid point that was going nowhere to begin with.
Proving you don't want to uphold the traditions of our toughest tournament. Not understanding the standards only shows you just don't get it man. fricking sad

I said Koepka was 1 stroke a day better at Erin Hills than DJ at Oakmont. Is that not true?

Again, a 280 is equal between courses? Really?

or in other words for my argument to hold one must suspend all disbelief and accept that all golf courses are exactly the same.

Rather than answer the question, he logged off. I'm not surprised.

He is being pretty aggressive and rude about this but he does have a point about this year's US Open.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm trying to communicate here.
The long-standing "goal" of the US Open from the players and the USGA is to set the course up for a 280 score to be competitive. Essentially Even on the typical Par 70 "traditional" Open setup that the OP wants.
8 players bested that in soft conditions. So I'm not going to melt down over it.

And that is?

The first time they hold the US Open on a par 72 in 25 years and the scores relative to par are lower, as you would expect, and some people are losing thier shite. 
They could have easily turned 1 and 14 into hellacious par 4's and made the simpletons happy. I'm glad they didn't. It's creating a false sense of difficulty that for some reason people feel like the US open needs to have.

Isn't it Pebble they change from 72 to 71 every time they hold a US Open there? The Crosby/ATT in Feb will be 72 but the Open will be 71.

Yea, they change #2 to a par 4 for the US Open.

Yes. #2 is a Par 4 for the US Open at Pebble
Posted on 6/18/17 at 9:38 pm to Golfer
I thought so, so the USGA artificially inflated scores just based off this.
I may not have stated it right, but it goes towards hopefully debunking the argument some are trying to make against Erin Hills.

The last time they played it as a Par 72 was 1992 and the players lit the course up the first two rounds so the USGA made the greens ridiculously fast for the weekend and everyone was miserable.
#2 gave up too many birdies and eagles, so they switched it to a par 4 from then on.
