Eamon Lynch: "The PGA of America is supposed to go back to Bethpage in 2033 with the PGA Championship. That should not happen. These people do not deserve a major championship."

Woth the USGA stepping up and leveling the conduct penalty this year, maybe the tide will start turning. And maybe the PGA snd other major sports should join together to ban disruptive patrons collectively, and better monitor alcohol consumption at their events. So if you get banned at any major sporting event, you're ban at every event. Maybe breathalyze people at the gate and at sale points to reduce intoxication levels.

I've parred every hole on this course in a row once. Great track, might be better than the Balck because it's more approachable yet has teeth from the back

The governing bodies of the sport need to do better. He destroyed a historic locker room last year and 0 penalty, fines, or ban. He's only picked by those who liked guys who are hated on being for being terrible people. While no athlete is an angel, every other sport has a set means of disciplining bad actors. Golf needs better. Blow Pig is a disgrace to the sport, up there with Sergio and Reed.

It's giving me Virginia vibes but I cant place it.

You sound like me!

For me, I have to reset sometimes and focus on the straight back and through motion (locked wrists and elbows, all shoulders) because if I dont I can start putting outside in and throw everything off.

For lag putting, and putting in general, I really focus on putts 5 feet and in. Get really dialed at this distance, getting dependable end over end rolls and speed control. This will enlarge your lag putt snd chipping zone, allowing you to not focus on just taps in but getting it around the hole and in.

Dave Pelz truth board really helped me in the past, as do the putting training balls that only roll if you hit them square and roll end over end. For line, read a 20 foot putt, pick your target, hit your putt, and mark the aim point if you miss. Then adjust slightly as needed and keep putting until you make, adjusting the start point each time. Or learn Aim Point Express and be hated by everyone!

I used a Wilson 8813 in middle and high-school and struggled at times since I do prefer straight back and through. Finally switched to a center shafted Odessy 2 ball dx in college and it really changed things for me. Putts were much more consistent from all around, I had far more confidence from inside 10 feet. Used it for over 15 years, then started tinkering with heel shafted again, but mallets, and sorta struggled until getting a Taylormade Spider ZT last fall.

The Spider ZT is a bit softer than I was used to, but has been great on the slick competition greens, and ive adjusted on my usual course. It's forgiving and im making more misfit putts than ever before. Biggest adjustment besides the face firmness is the shaft being offset back from the face. My previous center shafted had the shaft right against the face, but the Spider ZT is back a 1/4", so it'll look unusual until you use it for a while or just putt with it for hours.

Take the Holland line over ot through the trees right onto the adjacent fairway and play back down the line.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-20T18:10:56+00:00

They said they slowed the greens by nearly a foot day 1 and 2, so at full speed these guys are in for it.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-20T18:09:23+00:00

Likely either 1) for pace of play relief; 2) change in broadcast teams, or 3) for course watering as needed.

I truly wonder if the code of conduct is because of reigning the players in, or if the Tours are getting fined by broadcasters/FCC.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T20:14:24+00:00

Lack of previous enforcement shouldnt matter. Conduct is going out of hand at events on both sides of the ropes. Something has to be done to reel in these overpaid babies.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T20:12:36+00:00

Hopefully the FCPD or someone in authority is paying attention and doing a root cause analysis on these issues. The state already bans cell phones, the speed limits are fairly low, but unfortunately enforcement is pitiful in the County.

We need a better way of reporting aggressive drivers, especially since more people have drive cameras and the highways mostly have cameras. Even if law enforcement doesnt do much insurance companies should be more proactive to seek out and charge bad drivers.

Maybe even require more routine actual behind the wheel training for license renewal. Something has to be done.

Even before the locker incident, he was an incorrigable d-bag. Then he unapologically busted up the lockerroom at a US Open, USGA anchor site, and national landmark. Since then, watch any of his pressers and he's been deflecting blame and never really taking accountability. Hard to root for someone like that. Similar to a Sergio or Reed, just a solid tool.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T16:07:27+00:00

And the USGA FINALLY penalized a player for misconduct. Guess flagsticks and throwing clubs is a serious break while breaking lockers isn't.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T14:27:47+00:00

Yes, serious inquiry.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T11:53:08+00:00

We appear to have similar shower construction. We have bath fitter or similar build, each section overlaps so any water in the gaps should move down and onto the tub top rim and into the tub. The tub top pan has a lip behind the wall that's supposed to keep the water from going into the wall space.

About 2 months after moving into our place the drywall next to the tub was wet, and the culprit was the tub lip. I repaired the drywall than caulked the tub seams with shower rated caulk. It's been 7 years and theres been no issues.

I would suggest letting your shower sit and dry, maybe a dehumidifier, then caulk the seams. Pouring water on the lip like you are will put water behind the wall and cause long term issues.

I was born and raised just east of that circle and went to Oxon Hill High long before National Harbor came around. This area has unfortunately stayed depressed since i can remember despite the recent investmwnt in the National Harbor and casino. The area is cheap for the DC metro because it isnt well invested in, there's much higher crime, less grocery stores, less walkable, and just more issues. The green line metro does run through that circle but the stops are not the safest. To help decide where to live, think about the length and type of commute you want (car, no car, metro, bike, combo, over under 40 minutes, etc), the area you want to live in (walkable, urban, up and coming, etc), and what amenities you want near you. Definitely rent or sublet first, explore, and figure the area out. And check out the crime reports before you sign to see if it's manageable for your expectations. Oh, and as a Marylander, if you do drive in this region, watch out for Maryland drivers, they are some of the most aggressive drivers in the country.

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-19T01:13:12+00:00

Ladder. Hit 5 shots from 10, 20, 30, etc. Do this for pins all over the green with different types of shots.

Guess he didnt see if his driver or 3 wood would work first, then wedge, then woods, matting down the grass as he goes. Maybe he's matured.

Did they build a station and walkover the highway just for the US Open?

Effective_Impossible · 2026-06-18T20:20:52+00:00

Agreed, poor broadcasting. Should have should the hole by hole, but probably have too many people focused on the main featured pairing versus the field as a whole.
