  Lou you of all people with multiple accounts, a few kind words would have been fine but to go over the top like this is too much of a give away :0

  Every single person who qualified is scared of Olympic. It's not an impossible course, and you can certainly have your good rounds on it, but damn if teeing up on a few holes doesn't scare that absolute crap out of us.

  It always scares me when I have several tee shots that require me to aim through the middle of a stand of tees to hit the fairway.

  I never cared for this course during the previous US Opens.  I think it is unfair, several of the dogleg holes have fairways that run away from the dogleg which is a horrid design.  There are shots that have huge elevation change that seem to play (at least on WGT) very inconsistent.

  During the most recent Open, there were several greens that were basically unplayable.  I know that there are people who love this course but I'm not one of them.  I think that this week during the Open you will hear a lot of people who aren't praising this tract.  Also since the 2011 Open had the soft fairways and greens with low scoring, you can count on the USGA making sure this won't happen again.  Look at the Winged Foot US Open and see how they extract their revenge after par has been compromised.

  Only joking as you know Lou, I would back up the sentiments, it is rare to find a relatively sane person on here
