2002 US Open

[lmanchur.]

...so I was watching TheGolfChannel on Tuesday, and since "we finally completed THIS US Open, we can concentrate on the site of next year's US Open," they showed a preview of the site of the 2002 US Open.

Bethpage State Park..... The Black Course..... Farmingdale, New York..... WOW!... it's a beautiful course, from the images they showed.

This is an amazing course. I think I like it better than Southern Hills already. PLUS, this is truely a public course. While you can play Pebble Beach and Pinehurst -- where Tiger Woods and Payne Stewart won their US Open titles -- for $300 a round , you can play The Black Course for $31 (though there's a sign that says, "WARNING: This course is reccomended for only highly skilled golfers")!!!!!... people line up at night in rows 25 cars deep to get a tee-off time!...

Check this course out on GolfWeb.com (http://courseguide.golfweb.com/ocdata.cgi?st=detail&gwid=10910).

Yeah, it is a very nice course, has been highly ranked by many leading golf publications as one of the finest in the country, I feel it is better than Southern Hills.

There are many fine public courses all over the country. There is one by my hous called Pine Hills wich is excellent and very comparable to most Private courses in the area.
