Thanks to Hooked on Golf for pointing out the US Open is going to have a blog this year from Pinehurst.
I’ll match his skepticism on this one. What in the world are they going to blog about? How they got the green speeds wrong and explain why Donald Ross’ famed putting surfaces turned to unputtable concrete. I’m sure they’ll let us know how they had to water some greens during play because “they just got away from us.”
Oh, I bet you don’t hear a lot of that in their blog. Bet ya it is more about the great volunteers the USGA has or posts on the $140 golf shirts one can buy. Nothing at all interesting, in other words.

We’ll wait and see who’s doing the blogging. Jay Flemma is there covering the tournament, so perhaps he’s one of the USAG’s bloggers.
Jay would be cool…. I hope it is more down to earth blogging that some corporate and sponsor skewed BS.
Hey guys…I’m actually going for Travel Golf, but will be blogging and writing full features both from the media tent and from Monterey Peninsula GC and Pasatiempo (thanks bunker for the tip.” Feel free to write in with questions to either site, and thanks for the props, good vibes and faith.
You deserve them.
On the 17th at Pasatiempo, the green slopes right. Remember that. Your eyes will deceive you! I missed a certain birdie there.
