Who's going to win the 2006 US Open?

18,000 trees removed? I'm surprised the tree-huggers aren't demonstrating. BTW - If there was 1 tree on the course, it would find a way to get in front of my ball.

There's a big lead time for the site selection of the Open. Merion was just selected for the 2013 Open! That is a friggin' long time from now. By then, maybe the girls will be teeing it up with the boys. A 23 year old Michelle Wie paired up with a 37 year old Tiger Wood.

I stand corrected: it was 1,800...I added a zero in my
slipping into old age situ.

I actually "played" WF back in the mid-80s when I
chased it 1-2 times per year. A mkt mgr that worked for
me got us on the East Course, (for non-members), via
his father, whom was a med. big shot in the trucking biz.

I played "at" most of the holes, but generally just rode,
following our caddy.

I remember that course as being medieval looking as it
was so "dark" with all the giant old oaks. While the
Open course is the "other" course, the tree "shave job"
gives it a much diff. look.

Wonder what my current 13.2 HDCP Index would do for me there,
