Chambers Bay Scouting Report: Morning Drive Edition

The Morning Drive gang went to Chambers Bay to scout out the course and record some pieces for the upcoming U.S. Open week. And since we'll take all the scouting advice we can for this little seen course, I got to ask the Gary Williams, Damon Hack and Cara Robinson their impressions. The most interesting insight: local caddies and the possibility for players to either employ them during practice, or for the week. Qualifiers take note!

Check it out:

That was all about Rory's schedule and nothing about Chambers Bay/

Gary Williams is way too serious about this topic

Maybe it's because I don't get to golf as much as I'd want .... but send ME there for 5 days to prepare!

I wonder how the production team of a TV talk show thinks that the US Open insights of these three MD reporters have any merit whatsoever....it's just bizarre.....admittedly, I have pretty much stopped watching the MD show since sometime last year because it became more annoying than enjoying.....but there has to be someone else that NBC could send to Seattle to deliver some meaningful commentary to the viewers?....what a waste of expense account funds.....well, at least we know that Chambers Bay is 'austere' golf course...that helps me visualize a bit since I have once met a monk while golfing in Ireland and our local host described him as an 'austere' man......and hopefully, we all won't lose too much sleep over the potential criticism of Mike Davis' course set-up....oh the pain of listening to a weeks worth of that bullshettery !

Why shouldn't the best golfers be asked to play at a course they don't know once in a while? The fastest learners will come to the top. If 'Boing Boing' An plays anything like he played at Wentworth last week with his US Am experience behind him - watch out for a major, major shock.
