    Give Chambers Another Major!!! That 2015 US Open was all time great, I would love to see it host again!

      @@highimphilip I went on Friday. There was a Bataan Death March before I even saw a single golf swing. Many places seemed like I was miles away from the players. Maybe I’m spoiled because the others I go to you can get close enough to hear the caddie/player discussions. That place just didn’t allow for that.

    Loved this series. Really well done. Would like to see a video on a course in the southeast and how the turf conditions differ there.

    TFE bringing the quality content again. Thank you. Played over 100 rounds at CB. Love the course. We need to get Blasi back to restore some holes back to the incredible original design. I'm talking 5, 7 and 18. Props to RTJ2, Blasi and Charlton for an incredible design. It's very much underrated.

      It’s wild how overlooked it is. We don’t get weather in the 90s here hardly ever, especially April. It was unexpected and you can’t control nature. I pray they get another chance

    It is so amazing that, nine years later, we're still talking about how badly the USGA f***** Chambers Bay by mandating grass and conditions contrary to how the course was designed and constructed. So disappointing.

    • @Mike-pu2fb
      @Mike-pu2fb Місяць тому

      They botched it originally by running fescue greens. That turf for greens does not exist in the PNW and the USGA pushed it beyond the limits. The course with bent is ready for tournaments now. I agree with you

    Chambers Bay is severely underrated, people simply cannot get the 2015 US Open outta their minds. (one of the most interesting US Opens in history) Also one of the best walks in golf.
