    ...you've made it obvious multiple times that you don't care for golf, and that's fine...but there's millions of people who feel otherwise.

    ...you don't play the game, and that's fine too, and you obviously didn't even watch the tournament, but I actually did....so forgive me if I referred to it as "riveting".

    Felt bad for DJ. Slipped right through his fingers. Ditto with Grace who, with one out of bounds drive, cost himself what, over a million dollars, potentially? Ouch.

    Day had a great weekend all things considered. If he'd been 100% I think we would've seen him there with Spieth at the top.

    The course itself was hilarious. I can imagine myself playing there once and coming home with a bag of bent clubs. The pros were pretty gracious overall.

    LOL some not so gracious. For me you already play the British Open on a funky course. I didn't really like seeing the US Open played on a clown course.

    It needs to come back to the bethpage black. Especially so I can go watch it again. LOL. One of the biggest choke jobs ever by johnson 3 putting from 10 feet or so but I'm sure gretsky's daughter was able to console him.

    ...can't believe Grace hit driver that far right and OB...3 shot swing on that hole with Spieth up by 3 with 2 to go...can't believe Spieth hit a 6 iron that far right on 17 and made double bogey...and definitely can't belief DJ 3 putted from 12 feet.

    ...would like to have seen the 18 hole playoff today.


    ...and yeah, I agree about the course...I wanna see the Pros tested but not to the degree of the way the course was set up...drives down the middle then rolling 50 yards sideways into a fairway bunker?...that's just nuts....reminded me of one of those miniature golf places where you have to putt it through the clown's mouth.
