Most of the guys getting off to good starts have started on the back 9. The first 6 holes on the first 9 are killers.
SAN FRANCISCO ? Just before 7 Tuesday morning, Tiger Woods pulled his driver from his bag and turned to face the first hole at the Olympic Club. The fairway ran out straight before him, then disappeared around a corner to the right. It leaned down the hill upon which the entire course sits. At the bottom, out of sight, sat the green, some 520 yards away, a wicked and punishing par 4.​

Starting today, this will be the start of the U.S. Open.
And then this course gets tough.​

Olympic?s first six holes set a tone for the tournament that is unrelenting and inescapable. There are par 4s of 520, 498 and 489 yards. There is a par 3 of 247 yards with nowhere safe to miss. Rarely does a fairway find a flat spot, with the entire course cascading down a steep pitch toward Lake Merced. And when the breeze picks up off the Pacific, just across the road from the clubhouse, watch out.

NBC should just be banned from announcing major sporting events. Between Johnny "I was the flamboyant one" Miller and Curtis "can I be any more stiff" Strange could you have any more negative commentators. Add to that the over cooked fluff shit that Bob "hey I got my hair died" Costas and Jimmy Roberts do and I just cringe.

On the flip side it is slightly better than listening to Boomer try to make some cute little shit up every time he spoke yesterday.

Just show the golf and shut the fuck up you twits....

Boomer's gone off the deep end. He needs to stick with NFL, and that's it. If he ever tries to run a soccer highlight with his commentary, I might just fucking lose it.
