This is FANTASTIC! Best course tour
Can y’all do Marion east next?
A masterpiece!
Please don’t EVER stop doing these videos!!!
Oakmont is about as good as it gets.
what a beautiful course
Do Merion!
Wonder how many hit a ball into the turnpike
He does the best narration
I like the Bach and Mozart music in the background. Love these btw Golf Digest. Do the National Golf Links next
My dream course to play.
Played here 5 years ago and got away with an 89. Maybe the coolest course I’ve played up there with the ocean course
i personally can't stand wide open courses. i prefer trees and isolated holes creating their own spaces and vistas. arboretum is more important because 99.9% of golf is looking around; if there ain't nothin to look at…
Oakmont will never be number one thank God. Any course could greens this fast with these kind of slipoes but thank God the courses don't. It's not fun, I love fast greens 12 to 13 but 14 and 15 is insane
10:43 15-16 on the stimp is jus ridiculous. I mean, it makes those stories like markers sliding off the green seam almost plausible but certainly relatable.
Jack Nicklaus having 1 three-putt in 90 holes is just insane.
I stopped it at 4:24 to watch Nelson and Watson duke it out. There are so many great tournaments to watch as the narrator speaks. Later, off to watch!
5:00 Snead gotta be cappin
Another course thats been Linksified. It might be one of the first to start chopping all the trees.
So I noticed during the flyover that some bunkers had the rake in the bunker, while others didnt. What is the correct position?
I think New York state has the most of the greatest courses in United States, if you consider Shinnecock Hills, national golf links of America, the Maidstone arms, and now Jack, Nicholas’s cost Peconic. And that’s just on the eastern end of Long Island. I didn’t even mention Bethpage black.
That any green could run a 15-16 is nothing shy of criminal. There's fast greens, and then there's insanity. Oakmont is a beautiful track, but greens that fast are irresponsible grounds keeping. No green should ever exceed the 12-13 range, even in the toughest U.S. Open conditions. Beyond that point, you aren't playing golf, you're just praying and wishing, and that's a waste of time and a disgrace to the game.
More please, need hours of this content
As a proud Pittsburgher…I am biased when I call this course Golf's greatest test…but heck…it is justified.
All this obsession with fast greens has ruined golf. I worked on a course for 10 years, I know how hard it is on greens to keep them fast. Plus a putt should be allowed to be hit, not barely tapped and just hope for the best. There's no skill in putting off your kitchen floor.
it’s got a motorway through it pmsl
The greatest US Open venue of all time
Ford mentions all the prior winners of the U..S. Opens held at Oakmont. However, except for one brief slip up, he never mentions Angel Cabrera, the winner of the 2007 U.S.Open held there The probable reason would be that Angel's most impressive swings did not occur at Oakmont or at any other golfing venues. The swings occured and finished with brutal strikes executed by Cabrera upon his wife and various girlfriends which Angel was rewarded with various jail sentences in both Brazil and Angel's homeland of Argentina. The 2016 winner, Dustin Johnson is mentioned as his only infraction was that he was a cocaine addict that has a penchant for fooling around with other player's wives. Ask Jimmy Walker. It certainly takes a special person to be a champion at Oakmont.
What an amazing course
A highway goes through it?

Please do a vid on Merion
I need to be invited to play…pleeease! Bucket list.
I’ve played here, shot 73. Really fast green!!! Great course
Was a caddy here in high school. Got to play a bunch because of it. The talk about walking up to Oakmont at any time and being able to play the US Open is dead on.
I played here and shot a 72. Then I went to the third hole :/
I've played it twice. Amazing place.
I'll keep this video queued up during the Open to see the holes and layout without the grandstands, TV towers and people.
Any changes for this years’ open?
