  So long Merion...

  

  When I first arrived, I was greeted with your restrained, yet classic sign.  Indeed, I knew I had entered Hogan country.

  

  And immediately after, I found this sign... counting down the seconds with eager anticipation.

  

  Followed by this sign... signifying the start of one of the greatest golf legacies of all time.

  

  And as the sun sets on you tonight... consider yourself proud.

  As you, this "small" plot of land within golf history... have certainly won this U.S. Open Championship.

   

  Thank you for letting me walk your famous grounds & being part of history once again.

  You do a wonderful job running WGT.  You, along with your staff, should consider yourself proud!

  Great pictures MrWGT.

   

  

  What a great competition the Us Open at Merion won by Justin Rose, a full drama in the last 9 holes fighting together with Mickelson.

  

  I had the feeling all the time that the one who could find more fairways would finally win, just like thinking, hum Mickelson is not hitting the ding with the 3 wood, or Rose is not dinging the flops, It was a real match but I was enjoying it like if it was played in Merion WGT!!!.

  Thanks once more, outstanding Merion course you gave us WGT,

  I knew every single hole and the troubles for the pros, I could compare all the hazards from both Merions and that is awesome.

  Hole 3 was a nightmare for the pros on last day, most of them had to use the driver to reach the green, same as WGT Merion with strong head win, chilling comparison but true.

  Well, I could carry one & carry on with examples. Perhaps other members can share their own versions for our joy.

  What a great tournament! I agree with everyone that it made watching a lot more fun knowing what they were facing, having played it several times on WGT. My only issue was that I kept looking for the reverse view camera button on their putts....

  This would mean you're going to be in North Carolina the week after the 4th of July?
