I realize that we wont have a lot of players shooting -4 or better on any rounds, but the guys at espn are treating this like it's the toughest course ever. a 670 yard par 5 is absurd, but with 3 good shots, youve got a birdie putt coming up. i think it is a course suited for tiger. putting all my money on tiger.

It won't play like Congressional last year, that's for sure!!  Olympic will require accuracy off the tee, good course management and patience.  We know Tiger packs all that in his back pocket :-)) 

yeah, i think more than him just running away with it, what will happen is he'll stay consistent, and all the other players will fall. i think thats why he wins.

 

 

 

We all know that Tiger is one smart golfer, so this week I expect him to play for PAR.  

 Do you know how the players will get from the 7th hole to the 8th one?

LOL.....walk......from the 7th green to the 8th tee :-)))

 

 

 

      Villagesgolfer: 

My inquiry about the 7th and 8th holes is not meant as a joke.  I am looking at the 2 page layout of the Lake Course w/in the  June 11, 2012 paper issue of GolfWorld.   That layout shows a problem going from the 7th to 8th hole.   Unless, GolfWorld's layout of the Lake Course is outdated, there could be a problem.  I am only reporting as I examine the layout .  Does anyone else have this issue of GolfWorld available?

I have not seen a paper layout......only on the web...... doesn't appear there to me anything truly out of the ordinary.  The course superintendent was just interviewed on GC and he indicated the 8th hole has been moved and lengthened.  So perhaps the paper layout is outdated, or like all course layout diagrams it's not to true scale which makes it difficult to judge......

 

 

 

Okay, once again I hear your voice of reason.    You are probably right when you state the 8th hole had been moved etc.  Where on the web did you see an aerial layout of the Lake Course?

Oh my.......testing my memory today :-)))  I googled "US Open" and after peeking at several sites, found one that showed a diagram..... sorry I can't be more helpful!
