  almost dead right to the hole

   

  I believe he mean "right into the hole" as none directional...like "right back at ya".

  Oy. Thanks, MB.  Maybe it's because mine always break left but not right to the hole.  :-D

  That takes all the fun out of the putt.

  Hey, blind squirrel has to find an acorn once in a while.

  I was expecting you to say "eff'n showoff."  ;-)

  I can't wait to see 'em on the TV next Thursday - it will bring it all vividly back in to life, poor guys out their I feel for 'em so much.

  It's going to be very interesting to watch the pros deal with the challenges at Merion, I agree.

  birding merion #5 in 3 easy steps:

  1. land it on the fairway (a must!)
     
  2. math it right! consider xtra yards for very elevated green - ding is a must!
     
  3. putt away :-)

  Last year for Olympic Club I played along with the TV coverage for a couple of holes each day. When the pins were the same as we have it was a blast to outscore the Pro's.  Watching those guys get brutalized by the course really made playing here look pretty easy. I think a couple of holes on Merion are going to be the same way. We think it's hard or tricky, they're going to get their teeth knocked out live on TV.

  Should be fun to watch and play along.  lol
