    I'm heading out to the course but before I go here is a link to an article on an angry Lee Westwood about Oakland Hills:

    I heard the rough was cut to only 3.5 inches as opposed to the 5 wet inches I played in early July.

    He is right on about the one foot in the rough making it a penalty shot. Hell 2 inches into the rough is all it takes to be screwed.

    I'll report tonight.

    Scores don't look all that bad. But somebody always has to complain about a courses setup.

    Gave a rundown in the "Golf" topic.

    Man...what a tough...tough golf course.

    The rough though has been made a tad easier than what I saw in July by the dryness and the mowing it down an inch or two.

    Even so the course has all of these guys on the run.
