    I followed Koepka a bit last year at Oakmont. On two occasions he was talking to someone on his cell phone while walking up the fairway mid -round. Dude is as calm as it comes

    Lets go Rickie!
    You gotta get on board with Thomas. He has a 59 and now a US Open 63 this year. Is 150 pounds soaking wet and plays balls to the wall and bombs it. Says he would rather win a Ryder Cup than a major.  He can get a bit pouty but isn't nearly as annoying as boy wonder.

    Boy wonder is just another one of the young guns again.  Had an amazing 2015 but so many are catching up.

    harman appears to weigh about a buck and a half as well.

    Fowler isn't helping his reputation today.  He is very good but not great at the right time yet.

    The koepka and DJ daily workouts are about to get a bit more fun
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,916
    Yep, no way he can blow this lead now.  #18 is so easy he should birdie that too.

    Ball striking clinic. What has he missed? Anything?

    The should proclaim Koepke's round to be the greatest final U.S. Open round ever to piss off Johnny.

    Helluva win for Bruce Kaopectate.

    HA!!! They just ran off the wrong girls name
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,916
    Gotta be a bomber now.  Way too wide of fairways this week.  Gotta hand it to Harman to finish second when the course is setup for your opponents' strength.

    The wife got me a new set of Callaway irons for father's day.  Gotta get to the range this week and test them out.  Has anyone had their clubs lengthened?  I think I may take mine in somewhere to see if I could use some longer clubs.  I'm around 6'2 and my last set of clubs felt a little short....they were a shitty set so I didn't bother putting any money into them.

    I'm sure Wobbie is loving that a Nole just won the US Open!

    Fear the spear!

    Very cool.  Hopefully the wife lets you out of the house to play golf too!

    I'm your height.  When I got my new set I got fitted and ended up getting a quarter inch longer than standard set.  

    I'm not sure about the return policy on clubs so if you are thinking about getting a longer set you might hold off on trying the new set out.   The cool thing though about fittings is that they'll look at optimizing the type of shaft to use in the club as well.

    I fucking love this game. For a variety of reasons, I haven't been able to play at all this year. Got out today for my 3rd round of the year and put up a 44 on the front and could have gone 2 better. 49 on the back with a total of 2 birdies and 3 pars. Couple big numbers on the back. Won a few bucks at that. Good times. Have a few big rounds coming up. Tournament and cricket club here in Philly. Gotta get out after work a bit here coming up to get ready. Had a blast today. 

    Lets go berger!

    That was awesome.  A golf celebration that didn't look extremely awkward too!

    That was so awesome yesterday. I was jumping up and down like if Embiid hit a half court shot to win a playoff game or something. The wife thought I was nuts.

    Bones is joining the golf channel as an on course reporter, starting with the British.  Amazing.

    Had a putt for an eagle yesterday.  It was a short par 5 around 470....I crushed my 3 iron twice and got it to within about 15 feet.  First time I had a realistic chance for an eagle....Left the putt about 2 feet short.  Brutal!

    Ugh. Yeah, man.  Brutal to leave it short. I have had one realistic eagle putt a few years ago.  Drove the green on a short par 4 and had similar length putt.  Blew it past and ended up 3 putting...

    Yeah it was a brutal green and the putt was straight uphill so I was just happy I got within a reasonable distance for the birdie.  Didn't want to blow past the hole, but leaving it short is the worst.  Oh well...hard to complain about a 2 foot birdie putt
