The leaders rarely post low scores like you’re talking about at the U.S. Open, and no one’s ever finished -20. A U.S. Open course should be challenging, but shitty greens aren’t “challenging”—they’re just shitty.

I would agree but course conditions, especially on the green, need to be consistent. If someone happens to have their ball in a path where there is a bad patch of grass, then we introduced variables that mess with the results. At that point more luck is placed into the equation than skill. Having great course…

Watching on the first day, I said to my friends that the course looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The miserable grass aside, evne the bunkers looked more like irradiated toxic sludge than sand. Then this happened, and I was convinced that this is just the aesthetic they were going for:

There was one putt from yesterday (think it was Snedeker) where the ball just hopped up in the air while rolling on the green, like there was a small rock on the ground or something. That’s probably the purest distillation of the green conditions.

Greens? Grays.

I always enjoy the U.S. Open because it is so challenging. This past weekend was not the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open has long, thick roughs, tight fairways and lightening fast greens. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t enjoy watching someone pipe a tee shot down the middle of the fairway, only to then watch that ball roll…

Some preemptive rebuttals for apologeia (taken directly from Fox water-carriers after Billy Horschel’s admittedly petulant whinging)

Joe Buck is terrible at everything.

Warrick Dunn is probably the most ridiculously admirable athlete I’ve ever seen. When I lived in Atlanta, we actually used to make jokes about it. “Warrick Dunn ran for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and rescued three children from a burning building.”

That weak ass fist pumping makes that time no one wanted to high five him feel that much more understandable.

1) He was 15.

He was 15 when he got caught.

So, if Josh Duggar was a garbage man or something I could maybe just ignore Kornheiser’s idiotic comment that he shouldn’t lose his job. But his job is working for an organization that lobbies for protection of “family values”. How you could think that it’s ok for him to remain in that capacity is beyond crazy.

Pardon the Interbreeding

“Wasn’t it addressed awhile back? And the only reason he’s quitting his job now is because it became public. [...] You have the right to address it privately. [...] He was a kid!”

One of the main points of this article was that not very long ago, women WERE obligated to do domestic work because they were women, and they weren’t allowed to do anything else. Have fun with your bread.

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

A glass to that.

Your mum sounds rad as hell. Please thank her for the work she and other women did to make things easier and fairer for my generation.

John Golden is a prick. I’ve read his reviews and can't stand his arrogance. He's also a neighbor of mine so I know his demeanor isn't confined to his writing.
