God damn. Where on Providence Road? If it's near the Arboretum, I live 3-4 miles from there.

So Tiger shot an 80 today in the 1st round of the US Open. If you were Tiger what would you do?

A) Retire. He doesn't need this crap. He'll still go down, at worst, the 2nd best golfer ever, but fall short of Jack. Just retire. Get out of spotlight, hook up with babes and count money.

B) Status quo. Keep playing the majors and a few other big tournaments, even though his game is shot. Just hope that by playing 10 times a year, that he'll eventually regain some form and possibly win a few more majors in the process. In the meantime, when you have a bad round, just blame it on injuries and pull out of the tournament to stop further embarrassment.

C) Increase the grind. He'll never get better if he doesn't play and playing only majors and a select other few isn't enough. Start playing every week, even the 2nd rate tournaments. Be humble, take your lumps, do your walk of "Shame" in order to get back on top.

D) Time off. Something is wrong, again. Take another 6 months to a year off, away from the spotlight. Get healthy, mentally and physically, then return when better, even if better never happens.

Take HGH which he was on for years and dominate again.

I am trying to root for Jason Day to win this trainwreck of a US Open but he keeps falling apart. This course sucks. Not only do the greens look exactly like the fairways (not a good thing), but every hole looks the same.

That was a brutal finish with both guys missing gimmies in the last two holes. That course was a complete **** show. Can we get a round of applause for Duston Johnson's girlfriend though?

Walking in Charleston is about as tough as you can get in the summer. The heat and humidity is a slap in the face.

Does anybody know if you can watch this past seasons games somehow?

Apparently even if you paid for League Pass this past year, once the season ends you can't watch the games again. Kinda bull if you ask me

I'd like to go back in time to the last Retro Cathouse Draft and change my 90s pick to Sherylin Fenn from season 1 of Twin Peaks (1990).
