15 is too much
-
Definitely getting dicey these last several holes.
-
I said the back nine could get bad earlier. Looks like it's getting there quickly. If you've read my thoughts in the past US Opens you know I'm no fan of the setup.Would you like a second chance at this post after that shot Koepka just hit on 15?
I wouldn't say Koepka hot a great shot. 20 ft short right from 130, but it shouldn't finish up in the bunker.
I will say that Zach Johnson said they lost the course which could mean the last few holes on the back nine are near unplayable. -
Definitely a different course, but some of the shots these guys are hitting are garbage. Stenson just left an iron 30 yards short.
Good shots are being rewarded and landing soft and staying near the holes for the most part. Hoffman's shot there notwithstanding (alright it was still 25-30 ft long). -
Most everyone in the later groups is simply playing like shit. DJ has hit some horrendous shots and his putting is worse than any of the leaders.
Rose is hitting it like shit.
Nobody looks particularly sharp.
They haven't lost the course. It's close and the greens are on the edge, especially the shitty Poa just bouncing all over the place. But other than Phil hammering that putt that led to the 10, I haven't seen short putts running 25' off the green. They are definitely trickling of a few feet.
That said, the US Open is probably my least favorite major because they do trick up the course so much that it's not a true judge of the best players and his shots are penalized. Today there are just a bunch of bad shots by the leaders and the greens are sick enough to make part difficult.
Back none could change though. -
Good list. Would be interesting to see a composite for the top 3 sports. I imagine Texas would be pretty high.
Texas
USC
LSU
Miami
Florida State
Cal State Fullerton
Stanford

Actually wanted the Retrospect more but they didn't have any of the combinations I wanted let. Figure I'll pick one up on WUS. Love the inward sloping bezel.

Just got a Nodus Trieste. Not really an homage, but a nice looking diver for pretty cheap. Will post pics once I figure out why Tapatalk sucks.

Haven't been in the market since we built our house 5 years ago, but I went with a DCS similar to this https://www.bbqguys.com/dcs/professional-36-inch-built-in-natural-gas-grill-with-rotisserie-bh1-36r-n
and I've been very happy with it. Gets hot as shit and can put a really nice sear on whatever I'm grilling
That's definitely a nice looking grill and has good reviews. Probably in my top two with the Hestan.

60MM Radiomir for perspective...prolly look bigger on Flav
That doesn't look nearly as big as I figured it would. SS isn't huge either.

FYI for those in Houston. I was in Zadok's last week and they are going to have a Tudor trunk show to introduce the new releases tomorrow evening (June 12th). Call to confirm because I don't see it on their website. I don't know the details other than that but I'm considering checking it out.
Looking for a nice, everyday luxury sports watch that can do everything from work to the beach and Tudor might be the choice for something relatively inexpensive.
That said, I tried on the VC Overseas and it is a great looking watch. Hefty pricetag, but very nice and amazingly wearable/light even with the SS. The AP RO was very nice too but they only had the Rose Gold and I need something in stainless.

Thank you! Can't wait to get the back yard project finished so I can hang it.
-
Yes

Free rib for the dedicated. Excellent
-
Water was gorgeous last weekend. Hopefully it continues through much of the summer.
Homecut donuts are awesome.
Olympia the Grill has very solid food. Both locations but the Pier side is a little nicer.
Trattoria La Vignia is great for Italian
Mario's (westside) had awesome pizza. The one on 61st is hit or miss.
Riondo's is ok but didn't blow me away. -
Just grabbed a Juan in a million taco and going back to be first in line at LA BBQ. 50 people in line at Franklin's at 8. I'll hit it on a weekday sometime.
-
Used to eat a lot of Pokee Joe's when I worked at Books too. Good fries.pok-e-jo’s -
Yes, wasn't thinking about those.
-
So 8. That's what I was figuring but just wanted to be sure.
What's the second choice if it's closer to 9 or 9:30? LA BBQ? Will the line be crazy by then? -
So what time do I need to show up in line for Franklin's this weekend?
-
Richer, Royal Family or the Vatican?
Well that would be nice to even remotely be able to quantify. Just a quick search yields that the Vatican itself has holdings of around 10-15billion Euro. Recently the Australian branch of the Catholic Church was reported as being worth around AUD30 billion. Or about $22.7 billion.
But I guess long time excesses by charlatans are ok whereas the new guys are clearly fucked. I pretty much despise it all.

Go fuck yourself. People like you are as big a problem as the NRA and GOP. I'm not a fan of either but your ongoing bullshit only serves to distract instead of solve.Shooting the children is the subject of this thread right?
Unlike the GOP & the NRA, I'm against that.
Based on the limited posts I've seen you are too dumb to discuss this intelligently so you just fling shit. You've continuously ignored any attempt at a reasonable discussion to resolve issues and are complicit in maintaining the status quo and doing everything you can to divide this issue on party lines. You are a child murderer.

2018 US Open - Shinnecock
in Other Sports
Posted
Tomorrow could be bad because the greens dried up. Most of the day things were ok but on the edge. Later in the day it was pretty clear on the last few holes the greens were lost in the last several groups.
I've seen much more egregious conditions for the US Open, but the last 6-8 holes were unfair to the later groups compared to the earlier groups. That sucks.
It's unfortunate that the USGA decides it wants to protect par so badly that it compromises the greatness of the courses it selects. These courses are great tests because they are great courses, not because the greens are on the edge of unplayable.
Good to see everyone going HAM on the USGA. They pretty much suck.
