Do you find it better or any different than fan duel or is it just the one you use?

Are you automatically blocked on/from Draftkings when you put your residence as Louisiana?

I think you can still signup by claiming another state, but as far as collecting your winnings I have no clue

Rory doesn't know how to hit fades/cuts ... think he misses the cut ...

Sirius talk show guy said a pro hit a 9 iron into the green and it rolled 40 ft past where it landed ... no slope ...

I'd stay away from draft kings if you're a LA resident. Friend tried using his friend in Houstons PayPal and info and he got "banned", they did refund the PayPal money though so there's that.

I pay my USGA membership fee every year....but damn.....who is running things there?

This USOpen is either going to be great or a disaster...

...glad I did not qualify this year for that course.

It's interesting seeing some of the promo pics and videos that were obviously filmed several weeks/months back. The greens and fairways are a nice, lush green. Now the whole course is brown.

It's a beautiful course even when it's brown, but it's stunning when the fairways and greens are actually green.

I heard Joe Buck on Mad Dog Radio yesterday and he got me a bit pumped. I know he is creepy and milquetoast and should stick to baseball, but he said he and the Fox guys are prepping their butts off, but if golf snobs do not like it, he DGAF. He sort of admitted quirky Fox, plus quirky course could be a disaster. Sounds like a bunch of announcers on other networks have been giving him tips and notes, especially Tirico. I'm going to miss Johnny, and I think Dan Hicks is an underrated anchor, but Fox is the right coverage for this potential shitshow.

Buck said there is a hole that can play something like a 300 foot incline or 60 foot decline, depending on the setup?

When I saw it was 7800 yards that kept me from wanting to qualify, now seeing the conditions being the way they are I'm really glad I didn't give it a chance. I could care less about the course not being green and hard as asphalt, but the greens look to be the most inconsistent I've ever seen, major or not. Makes what Quail Hollow was a couple of years ago seem like Augusta National.

I'm kind of sad I won't be able to watch this shite show live. Also, the hole you're talking about is #9 and it's the opposite...a par 3 that can play 100 yards downhill or 20 yards uphill.

With the greens being the way they are, there's really only one place they can put the pin if the tees are high up. I think you'll see more of the lower tees unless they just want to continually show off the insane drop...which is very possible.

Heard an interview with Jack on PGA radio.

Interview was about the course. At the end Jack mentioned how it was his first interview in a long time where he wasn't asked about Tiger.

He went on to say Chambers is a great fit for what Tiger is trying to do with his game. He said he expects Tiger will play much better than anyone else expects.

Basically Jack thinks Tiger should contend.

I like the US Open on the west coast because it means later tee times for us.

That's just how the fescue looks. Quail Hollow was WAY worse than this.
