The 2011 US Am. Starts tomorrow at Erin Hills (http://www.erinhills.com/defau..) Looks like a great course but like Whistling Straits, Pebble Beach, Arcadia Bluffs, etc, etc, Joe Public will have to shell out $200+ to play it.

Going to be a good prelude to the 2017 US Open.
I love the US Amateur. I'm picking Peter Uihlein to repeat. |

Going to try and qualify for the 12' Amateur at Cherry Hills which is 20 minutes away from me next year if I can drop my handicap 7 shots.

better add 100 yards to your driving distance. They play from the back tees in the big leagues.

I didn't expect myself to get below 10 this year, so I set my goal at 12.7. Blew that out of the water. It'll be 5 less from where ever I get it on December 31st like it was this year, but I've got confidence and belief that I can lower it even more. |

You do need to add at least 50 yards to your drives, otherwise you will be struggling to hit those long par 4's in two. Amateur qualifying will be from a much longer distance. 17 to 8 is a great accomplishment but each point lower from there gets harder and harder. I agree.

Going to try and qualify for the 12' Amateur at Cherry Hills which is 20 minutes away from me next year if I can drop my handicap 7 shots. Only about 1% of over 6,000 entrants make it to match play. You'd better bring your A game. And maybe one of those "funny" golf balls. There's a Par 4 at Erin Hills playing 524 yards......and today it was into the wind. |
