Wind will do that.  I've played Erin Hills a few times, it is a zillion times nastier when windy.  Usga had no bullets last year w no wind and heavy rains overnight.   

This appears to be the windiest day in the forecast for shinnecock.

Scott Gregory  shoots a 92. Obviously I have to look at his scorecard.  Check out the shot chart for him on the 14th.  How did he lose 70 yards of distance on his 2nd shot (from the fairway) to his 3rd shot?   There's not a single tree on the hole.   There's no reason he would've elected to take relief from the fairway, to the point where he would go back to the right rough 70 yards.

I played the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in the wind

might as well have 4 or 5 caddies give you a good beating at the clubhouse and save you 5 hours

The course on Ka'anapali (Maui) is like that.  If you don't tee off really early,  you're playing under constant heavy wind.

Been to Ka'anapali, but didn't play golf.

I'll be playing a league match in NW Iowa in about an hour with winds from 20-30 mph.

The beer will be cold

I tell my partner when it's windy.  "This isn't the time to try to break 80, this is the time to try to break 100."

OK, I’m failing to see the outrage over what Phil did.  It’s a strategy.  He took his 2 stroke penalty and moved on.  Why should he be DQ’d for that?

A problem, if the conclusion is Phil gamed the rule, is the rule.  My read on the rule and likely purpose is striking the ball as it is moving but not necessarily as a defensive move to prevent the ball from moving to a less advantageous lie.

 I suppose it is a dick move.  But the USGA runs the open like a bunch of dicks.  I'm not mad about it at all, despite Phil's obvious tactics which are less than sporty.  I took it as, screw this course set up, I'm done with it.

yup, Lefty should have been DQ'd

blatant cheating, purposely 

but, I'm fine with the 2-stroke penalty as well

didn't really matter in this case - Phil made the cut, made his $27,000 - probably should have gone home Saturday night w/o a check

the issue is if someone in contention pulled that move - he wasn't
