This could be absolute carnage, I can't see the greens being kept at the speeds they are just now, and the rough will get thinned out a little. The members seem to think they slow the greens down for the US Open which means they must run at over 15 on the stimp normally! Surely reductions only? 
Here's a link to some of the videos and photos.

Judging from that, I predict that rounds are going to take an hour longer than normal owing to the extra time players are going to need to wait for their balls to stop rolling on the greens! Best get some more beer in because it's going to be long nights in front of the tele. Here's a link to some of the videos and photos.

Not sure i can get away with watching the Euros and the golf...maybe if it was the masters...might have to give it a try though...
Assuming you have Sky, there's a saturation of US Open coverage, around 36 hours over the 4 days finishing around 1am each night, so reckon we should be able to fit both in really. looking forward to watching their trials and tribulations, should be a right old challenge, as observed already.

I do indeed have Sky Sports. Maybe i'll convince her she's tired and needs an early night from tomorrow onwards.. looking forward to watching their trials and tribulations, should be a right old challenge, as observed already. Thanks for the heads up!

The greens are going to be laughing at them. . .
The course superintendent, his 200 staff(!) and the head agronomist of the PGA tour are onto it, adjustments are taking place and the greens will run slower before start of playDigger said:

I'm with you on that Digger, no one said it was gonna be easy (in fact they said it's gonna be truly fking difficult) but they're doing what they can, while they can, to make it 'playable' for all
Can't wait
Anyone seen the video or Rory putting up the green to a practice hole position, only for it to roll over it and then trundle on down to the actual pin and drop in? Illustrates how tough the greens will be! I can only imagine what it would be like to play!king difficult) but they're doing what they can, while they can, to make it 'playable' for all Can't wait

Hope the weather is kind to us as we had a lot of rain last night. Anyone interested can follow us on Twitter #tnaggeldyfools

Great cause. Good luck!I'm really enjoying Sky's coverage of the Golf but I can't understand why there are idiots in the crowd shouting "in the hole" or "shut the door" immediately after players have teed off.
What's the point, I don't get it. Haven't heard any similar but I've only just started watching Golf on the telly.
The course is a nightmare but I love it!
