damn thats awesome. and wow, thats a lot of people just to watch em screw around :p

i was lucky enough to see the '96 US Open at Oakland Hills, and wow, it was an amazing experience.

just got back myself from the range, and i must say, i was hitting em pretty well today :)

It was the most beautiful course I have ever seen. The "rough" (if I can even call it rough) that we were allowed to tromp all over was cut almost as tight as most greens I play on. Everything was pristine and perfect.

The majority of the first action shots were from the end of 15 and the tee box of 16 (par 3). The shots of the guys near the edge of the lake are goof off shots. After the players tee off everyone starts yelling "skip it!" and the guys drop balls and hit low burner shots trying to skip the balls across the lake onto the green. Very cool. Some guy I didn't recognize killed a turtle though, so no so cool for the turtles.

The close up shots toward the end of the pics is from #6 (par 3). It was so cool being only 20 feet from these guys, especially Nicklaus and Watson which was the highlight of the day. Of all the guys I saw come through that hole (Furyk, Duval, Love, Beem, Sabatini, Padraig Harrington, and a few others who I didn't recognize - nobody put the shot closer to the hole that Nicklaus and Watson. Jack put it inside 10 feet and tom was just outside of that. You'd think these guys had played there before or something. ;)

Free tix and only a 2 hour drive so it was not much of an investment to go. I loved it.

yeah, it's gonna be a hell of a sunday.? tiger, phil, and vijay all right on? dimarco's heels.

No kidding. Man I wouldn't want to be DiMarco looking over my shoulder at that board lol.

P.S. What the heck happened to the fourth member of the Big Four? Where did Els disappear to? I haven't had a chance to watch much of the tournament so just wondering. Did he play that awfully?

/edit

Forget it. Just heard he has the flu. Bad break.

Wow DiMarco didn't take long to fold. Wish I could've SEEN it rather than just read about it on ESPN. Anyone else think the coverage has sucked? Nvm the rain, the networks (USA/CBS) didn't even PLAN to schedule early coverage. Today I think it starts at 2:30, which is the earliest out of any day. I've seen other lesser tournaments start coverage at 10 in the morning. Pretty pathetic for what is supposed to be one of, if not THE, most prestigious events of the year.

Wow what a chip shot from Tiger on 16!!! Ball hung there for an eternity before it fell. Lol. If he wins, thats the shot of the tourney. Had to take DiMarco's heart out. Interesting to see if DiMarco can keep it together. Great finish coming.

Yes I did, thus the post lol. SICK

one of the most amazing, pressure filled shots i've ever seen. he played that ball at least what? 30 feet away from where the whole is, and to just have it trickle back down the hill.

and then he puts his next tee shot right into the trees...damn.

Oh boy. It's coming down to 18 I guess. As it should. Unless Tiger has more magic up his sleeve, looks like 1 stroke lead at best going into it. . . Or worse.

Woods -13

DiMarco -12

Barn-burner baby.

If anyone's seeing this put your TV on CBS, NOW

A siren blaring. Are you friggin' serious? What was that?!?!

Anyway, both guys hit tough seconds on the 18th. Bad shots to end a great day.

OMG!!!!! DiMarco nearly holed that! OMG!! OMG!! What a shot!!!! What a finish!!!

This deserves to go to a playoff. Though I'm pulling for Tiger.

edit/

DiMarco hit nearly the same EXACT shot. Here we go again! lol

Edited by bigbluepride35

wow, what an 18th. i thought tiger would make his putt....didn't even get it close.

oh well, sudden death!

/oh yeah, that chip by dimarco, wow wow wow, i thought it was in. that woulda won it too!! i screamed so loud my gf thought someting was wrong :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
