Loving Oakmont!

Sharing Some Oakmont Country Club Goodies!

Loving Oakmont!

Welcome to Episode 224 of THE Golf Improvement Podcast!  Dedicated to sharing useful information on professional club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME!

Show Notes:

I share some personal memories about the Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh, PA - site of this year's U.S. Open during Father's Day weekend.  My FAVORITE Golf Course - thanks to good friend Larry Young for the times I got to play there with him.

I also share below some links to interesting articles related to this year's U.S. Open - information about the amazing final round 63 that Johnny Miller shot at Oakmont in 1973 - and about the "undercover" tree restoration project that was done at Oakmont to remove 3,500 trees from the course!

Dustin Johnson won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont with a 4 under par score for 72 holes.  My take - NO ONE will break par for four rounds at the U.S. Open at Oakmont this year, and NO ONE will match or beat Johnny Miller's 63 from 1973!!
