Chamblee just went off on the course for not planting better grass for the best to have a true putt and not a luck putt

-less fescue because of heat and traffic will cause polana
-plant tiff whatever but plant it and allow these gentleman and the greatest players in the world to have putting surfaces that are pure

"it is not too much to ask that your national championship is played on a course where luck is not such a factor"

He almost got really mad talking about it.

The golfers aren't complaining about it THAT much. And the scores are there to be had.

I'm a little worried that I contracted the shanks after watching Rickie and Tiger today. That shite was tough to watch.

I think a championship of the caliber of @usopengolf deserves better quality green surfaces that we have this week but maybe I'm wrong!

I can't tell if he meant it as a compliment, or if he saw the backlashes and tried to change the meaning of what he said after

I think he is replying to the backlash yet still said the greens deserve better

I mean, I wouldn't be happy either if I was playing in a U.S. Open and the greens didn't roll smoothly. You gotta suck it up though.

Do you like when the Open is at Pebble Beach, one of the iconic US Open courses?

Those greens are poa annua.

Well there's fescue grass along w the poa on the greens at Chambers, they grow at different speeds..hence the terrible putting conditions. It was originally supposed to be all fescue but poa crept into them.

I know. You said poa on a green is dumb. It's not. The greens at Chambers weren't managed properly over the last couple of years and now they are an issue to the players. They are all playing the same course though, so I have no sympathy for those that want to complain. Personally, I really like the course. I can respect the opinion of those that do not though.

Half those guys wouldn't even be getting to the green in normal us open conditions with 6 inch sticky rough and landing strip fairways...at least they can get to the green in reg here. The complainers have already beaten themselves.
