Ok, full disclosure. Come for the amazing work Tyler did on the U.S. Open Q section of our site. Stay for the previews that @markbaldwin1 and skip anything I did.
Here is the preview for the 10 sites, notables, and the link to our all the scoring

Brent O’Mara accomplished a 1 in 1.1 MILLION feat after shooting 73-74 in back-to-back rounds as an 8.7 handicap index. Here’s my full report on the Shadow Ridge CC MEMBA-MEMBA Champions in Omaha, Nebraska. #TheYipRule#golf#journalism
@UPS do better! We all know your closing facilities and offering buyouts so your stock does better. But you still need to deliver packages. Must suck to be #ups
I have strong feelings about “Breakfast Balls” on the 1st Tee and I wish the @USGA would implement an official rule for “Club Play.”
If a player utilizes a driving range prior to teeing off, then “Breakfast Balls” are strictly prohibited.
If you’re a trunk slammer, the “Breakfast Ball” is yours to enjoy. 🤷🏼♂️

Given Woj’s comments about Bartlett Country Club, today’s “Golf with the Bonnies” is down over 50 participants, a source in the athletic department tells me. Department staff have also reached out to club board members to promote the event on club socials - the request was denied
▶️Rough estimates for the typical 10 index:
They would save ~7.2 strokes if they made every putt between 10 and 20 feet.
They would save ~13.8 strokes if they hit every drive 350.
▶️Rough estimates for the typical scratch:
They would save ~6.1 strokes if they made every putt between 10 and 20 feet.
They would save ~8.8 strokes if they hit every drive 350.
For the driver I assumed no par 4 was short enough where they could drive the green (closest they could get was 10 yards to the hole, but never on the putting green, always in the fairway), they only hit driver on par 4s and par 5s, and every par 4 and par 5 allowed you to hit the maximum 350 yards.
Fun question @SnobbyScheffler
Andrew Fleisher was registered as a 15.0 handicap index leading into a @FirstTee Connecticut event at The CC of Fairfield. His 74 (NET 60) helped his team claim both the GROSS and NET division titles.
Sadly, there is not an Andrew Fleisher registered in the GHIN database.
Coincidentally, there is one Andrew Fleischer in the entire database. Fleischer, not Fleisher, is an 8.6 handicap index that was previously registered under the eClub of Connecticut.

I think the PGA Tour misses out on a golden opportunity to have an awesome tournament finishing on Memorial Day. No other sports on and everyone is off work. Imagine today is the final round of the PGA championship or the Memorial at Muirfield Village
Regardless of where you sit on the ball rollback debate- you owe it to yourself to see what drove Dr. Sasho MacKenzie to this.
Lord help us if this is really the best and brightest the USGA has to offer.
Sigh 😔. Myself along with everyone are shocked and trying to make sense of the sudden passing of @KyleBusch . My prayers to his wife, Samantha and children.
