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

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
