Hello golfers,
Is this golf's toughest Major venue?
It doesn't seem that long ago since Danny Willett was pulling on a certain Green Jacket, but here we are again, it's Major time. What lies in store? Well, it's not going to be a birdie fest, that's for sure.
Put simply, Oakmont is a brute - as you can discover for yourself below. The U.S. Open this weekend is a must-watch, especially if you like to see players work extra hard for their pars. This type of golf isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it does make a change to seeing winning totals around the -15 mark, as is often the case.
Here's a stat for you:
The entire field broke par just eight times during all four days in 2007

Custom Fitted product isn't more expensive
Who's in this camp? "Custom fitted products cost me more than buying off the shelf." Wrong! If we got a pound for every time we heard this one…
We have the tools and the expertise to help you enjoy better golf by custom fitting you for equipment that's right for your own swing - and this doesn't have to come at an extra cost.
Our goal is to help you get more enjoyment from the game - which comes in many forms, maybe extra distance, finding more fairways, or just better ball striking consistency. However, custom fitted product doesn't have to be more expensive; we'd rather see our customers happy with their new equipment.
Until the end of June, we are offering a FREE fitting and a FREE after sales lesson when you buy hardware from us.
