The U.S. Open is the closest thing to a minefield that a golfer will ever experience. The United States Golf Association makes it that way on purpose. The USGA calls it the ultimate test of golf. The players call it torture.
The winners of all this are the fans, especially those who go out to see it in person. And lo and behold, Southern California spectators will get their every-75-year chance. This year’s U.S. Open, or tournament player bloodletting, will be at the famed and exclusive Los Angeles Country Club, June 15-18.
