Every Hole at Oakmont Country ClubI | Golf Digest - Sport
Jack Nicklaus having 1 three-putt in 90 holes is just insane.
that's why Jack is the greatest ever
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've never clicked on a video faster
Amen sir
Please don’t EVER stop doing these videos!!!
The greatest US Open venue of all time
More please, need hours of this content
He does the best narration
Wonderful course. It has everything. As if it were not already tough, soften the sand in those bunkers and it's brutal. I love the bunkering at Oakmont.
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.
This is FANTASTIC! Best course tour
I like the Bach and Mozart music in the background. Love these btw Golf Digest. Do the National Golf Links next
I was hoping this series would be continued. Would you try and do Merion or Aronimink?
My dad worked at both of those! He would think that would be sweet.
I've played Aronimink, didn't think it was all that special. Merion on the other hand is a dream.
Unlike most course renovations, Aronimink was ruined when they removed the trees.
My dream course to play.
A masterpiece!
What an amazing course
what a beautiful course
The Turnpike cuts right through the center of the course.
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.
Can y’all do Marion east next?
Oakmont is about as good as it gets.
legend
As a proud Pittsburgher...I am biased when I call this course Golf's greatest test...but heck...it is justified.
It's golf's greatest test getting off the course alive if the members catch you playing by yourself even with Bob Ford's permission. The punishment meted out makes the rack in Braveheart look like a picnic. They threw me off the course and stole two of my golf clubs. Apology? Oakmont doesn't know the meaning of the word.
5:00 Snead gotta be cappin
So I noticed during the flyover that some bunkers had the rake in the bunker, while others didnt. What is the correct position?
The next course you guys do should be Cape Wickham
Wonder how many hit a ball into the turnpike
it’s got a motorway through it pmsl
Do Merion!
Who's she?
Another course thats been Linksified. It might be one of the first to start chopping all the trees.
This is why I don't like this garbage course. Putting a links course in Pittsburg makes no sense. They just tore down all the trees because they take too much water. Bethpage is better. Basically looks just like this but retained trees. And is not a private course for old crusty sit-to-pee types.
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.
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
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...
I agree with you in total.
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.
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.
So long as you can still have fair hole locations, why not ?
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!
