Oakmont proving its might!

Lol. "Pip squeak" is not now, nor has it ever been, a racial slur. It has nothing to do with race, gender, sexual preferences, etc. It means "a contemptibly small or unimportant person; a twerp".

But hey, nice try.

I would recommend some self-reflection and maybe apologize to JJ.

JJ has really turned his game around due to the help of a new short game coach despite how you perceive him.

Slander? Lol. Calling someone a "pip squeak" is racist slander now? What planet are you posting from?

I don't even play golf. Originally Posted by tommy156

You posted it. So you agree. But you’re not Carlin, or JJ Spaun. They reached the heights of their professions. What Spaun accomplished at Oakmont is historic.

Most of us try to focus on those topics we know something about.

Carlins fly fucking comment had nothing to do with Oakmont or the US Open. Neither did your churlish insults about JJ Spaun. The most prestigious golf tournament in the world, held in our back yard. Oakmont should inspire better posts. You didn’t “bum me out”, or suprise me. But Oakmont is going to host the US Open going well into the future. It’s a Pittsburgh gem and future generations will be able to appreciate it.

I know. The Open will be back at Oakmont in '33.
I still won't care.

How hard were the greens at Oakmont?

There were 238 three-putts at The Masters. Home to some of the fastest, most undulating greens on earth.

There were 536 at Oakmont...

And the greens were slowed by rain!!!!!!

WHY are you commenting IF you don't fancy the thread topic??

However, I surely agree with you that "pip-squeak"
IS NOT a racial comment...

... Oakmont (and the weather) surely did stow the
great golfers all-about, though...

... Annie Dundee - a pretty-bird Aussie golfer
once told me - "Golf! It's surely a hard-knock life" ...
