I remember that US Open several years back when the ball kept rolling off the green. No matter where they landed their shots, it wouldn't stay on the green. Finally the course managers had to go water the greens in the middle of the tournament.

2004 Shinnecock Hills. What is ironic, the first two rounds, players where doing well. 11 golfers under par, so they stopped watering the greens. Final day average scoring was 78.7. Only 2 players ended up below par. Retief Goosen and Phil. They ended up having to water the greens in between holes to keep them "playable".

2018 Shinnecok Hills was terrible again. It was the year Phil chased his putt and hit it while still rolling, ended up taking a 10 and could have been DQ'd.

2007 at Oakmont, they had their greens running 13-15 on the stimpmeter.

The worst greens ever ? The Broccoli Greens at Chambers Bay.

Chambers Bay was horrible.

As you can see so far for the past two days....let mother nature and the natural design of a difficult course take over, and it doesn't matter how far you drive it.

Yes, and 30 mile an hour winds in bad weather and the British Open makes a bit of a difference as well. Two years ago, at the Old Course, it was a driver-putter on 6 different holes in different weather and Cam Smith was something like -20
