  • Gary VanSickle reflects on the week at Erin Hills where “the guy to beat” was hard to identify

    Golf Writers Association of America President, Gary VanSickle joins the show June 21, 2017.
    This week on the Golf Insiders, Holly and Jay are joined by Gary VanSickle, who, like many of us, struggled to identify the main contender during the weekend at the U.S. Open. Gary notes that the course conditions were primed for birdies but the top groups from the weekend did not reflect that.
    "You give these guys soft greens and it doesn't matter. You could put the pins in the bunkers and they'll still shoot low." - Gary VanSickle on course conditions
    "If the course was so easy then why did the top players in the world not make the cut?" - Gary VanSickle on the criticism of Erin Hills

  • Holly G and Jay Golden debate the success of Erin Hills as a Major venue after a week of low scoring

    Golf Instructor, Jay Golden helps host the show June 21, 2017.
    This week on the Golf Insiders, Holly and Jay discuss everything from the course conditions to the low scoring at Erin Hills Golf Course. While much of the weather was outside of their control, the USGA may need to reevaluate some of its decisions moving forward. What is best for the growth of the game? Do we need to return to courses that warrant a defensive battle against par?
    "There's just so many guys who can win on any given day." - Holly G on the state of the PGA Tour field. _________________________________________________________________________________

  • Golf Insiders: Steve Eubanks (Global Golf Post) believes Rory McIlroy has the mental strength to conquer Erin Hills and win another Major

    Winning a Major championship requires a certain degree of focus and mental toughness that some players simply lack. Steve Eubanks believes Rory has that mental toughness. During a week where most players were complaining about fescue and course conditions, Rory was one of the few to acknowledge that this is the US Open. It's supposed to be hard.

    “He's entering it with a mindset that I like. He's got a great attitude about it. And in a US Open setting that's what it takes.” - Steve Eubanks on Rory McIlroy ____________________________________________________________________________

  • Golf Insiders: Jeff Babineau (Golfweek) describes the atmosphere at the 117th US Open

     

    Erin Hills is not a familiar course to a majority of the players in the field this week. The course boasts 138 bunkers that will prove to be truely hazardous for players who miss the fairway and the potentially bad weather is sure to bring them into play. Jeff Babineau identifies the final 6 holes as a window of opportunity where birdies can be made if weather permits. 

    “You feel like you're at the British Open” - Jeff Babineau on the atmosphere of Erin Hills

  • Golf Insiders: Golf Writers Association of America President, Gary VanSickle foresees weather conditions affecting the leaderboard this week

    After several blunders over the past few years, the USGA is under pressure to ensure that this year's US Open goes off without a hitch. While rules officials will be scattered across every hole at Erin Hills, the USGA is relatively helpless against the potentially inclement weather that threatens the area. Gary VanSickle reports that the US Open likes to air on the side of caution when it comes to weather, which may partially explain their decision to cut back the controversial fescue lining the fairways.

    On the positive side, players may have an advantage on the greens which should make for some dramatic play over the weekend.

    "“It’s hard to see the greens getting firm and fast with this weather.” - Gary VanSickle

    Todd Lewis calls in LIVE from Erin Hills to offer his insight on what players will be dealing with this week. Despite the long nature of the course, Todd isn't counting out the shorter hitters.

    “I think we get intoxicated with length. You don’t win Major championships off the tee.”
