You can’t talk. You backed out of The Match Starring dodint and MIMH in Coastal NC because of a phantom “Achilles”. Next I’m gonna hear that you withdrew to join the LIV tourIt really is like all the scumbags just got up and left.

Those greens are so difficult, especially once they dried out a bit over the weekend. She had the W she just couldn’t putt over the final handful of holes. I know nothing about woman’s golf so I had no idea she had a choking reputation. She certainly lived up to it. She had an awful chip on 16 that also played a major role in her fall.I'm watching the LPGA and Lexi has the yips from inside 5 feet. It's been painful
I saw a bunch of people with IG Chun hats. Struck me as kinda weird that so many people in the gallery had fan gear of a somewhat random South Korean female golfer.
Nothing news breaking here but the tempo and ease in which these girls swing the club is something to emulate. Nice and easy 275 right down the middle on every drive. Easy tempo with all irons whether they are in fairway or rough. Never muscling anything up or trying to power through heavy rough. It’s all smooth tempo and hip/body turn. Made me want to go to the driving range and practice swinging as easy as I can.

Chun has a giant fanbase called The Flying Dumbos. Her nickname is Dumbo because of her intense curiosity, a nickname given to her back in Korea. She’s also incredibly smart and is a math whiz. But most importantly, after winning the Women’s Open in Lancaster in 2015, she set up a foundation to help raise funds for college tuition for the club’s caddies and employee’s children. This week, she’ll be in Lancaster for a fundraiser to help bolster that foundation. She’s an impressive player and an even more impressive person. It was great getting to cover her win this past week.

Yes I learn more from watching the ladies. And also I get to see Nelly Korda so it's a win winThose greens are so difficult, especially once they dried out a bit over the weekend.

I love women's golf because of that. They don't hit the ball any further than I do, but they execute at such an incredibly high level. It's fun to watch that way.
Everything golf
There's also the element of playing courses the way they were designed. There's not really any bomb and gouging going on. They hit 5 irons and hybrids into some par 4s. It's fun to see them pull those shots off with the precision they have

Not only do they hit hybrids, but they actually get roll on their hybrids, unlike the men who hit 4i an absurd distance with minimal roll. So the women actually have to worry about where they land the ball. Quite impressive

Ahhh that’s awesome. Glad she won. Seemed like a nice person in interviews and demeanor on course. I did see the dumbo gear and didn’t know the nickname/correlation until I heard it explained later on during the broadcast. Also interesting that she whipped out a new 7 wood/hybrid and 9 wood/hybrid just for this course to get height and land soft.Chun has a giant fanbase called The Flying Dumbos.

Her driving average was 229, and she finished under par over a 6800 yard course.

insane - the girl I play with in FL flies it 270. My brother's fiance's little 16 year old sister was a state champ last year and drives further than her. Not by much.. but that shows you how effing good she is with every club
Everything golf
I think she was the only one in the top 10 under 250.

Oakmont:
Oh my. What an experience. We played leading up to the club championship so it was in peak condition. The enormity of standing on the first tee and getting ready to bomb one and thinking of the great players who have stood there and done the same thing is pretty breathtaking.
Clubhouse: lots of memorabilia from prior events - -DJs 6 iron he stuck on 18; cabrera's cigarette butts; etc. replicas of some of trophies in the main display case. everything is perfectly taken care of
Practice area: great place to work on your game with range, short game, and multiple putting greens. range is set up really well with different flags at distances to work some different shots.
Golf: overall its pretty amazing how the course is designed. any slight miss there is 100% probability there is a sand trap there. the greens are insane, our caddy the first day said they were rolling faster than the US open fwiw. they probably tell everyone that. if you play smart and hit your spots, you wont get penalized too much. 200 yards in the middle on every shot will let you hit many greens in regulation. almost all of the greens are guarded with only one shot that will allow to attack the green - i.e. draw, fade, etc. if you cant work the ball you are in for a long day. the traps are incredibly difficult to play out of however they don't drain very well. many of the bunkers are getting huge makeovers starting september to get ready for 2025. first day i shot 85 on 17 holes (didnt get to finish) second day was 99
a few thoughts in general about the course
although the greens were impossible, its pretty awesome to play where the ball goes where it should when you hit it. it also gives one an appreciation for how much the pros can spin it around the green. thanksful to have had the opportunity.

awesome stuff litt. did you play it during US Open week? My brother's friend caddies there and says every year on US Open week they trick it up like an Open for the members. Said greens were like at a 17, so good chance they were faster than the Open's greens

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Those greens would make me cry, especially after 5 3-putts on my home course this morning.
It’s great you had that opportunity, @LITT. You definitely get a better idea at how good the pros are when playing courses like that.
