The 2023 U.S. Open was played near Hollywood, and there was a Hollywood ending, just not one that was expected but definitely has the makings to be made into a movie.

This is the first time the Los Angeles Country Club has played host to the U.S. Open.

Thoughts at the halfway point of the 2023 U.S. Open:

In the heart of Hollywood, a golf tournament is taking place, will anyone care?

Do you know the words to the Canadian anthem, O Canada?

The RBC Canadian Open is not one of the majors on the PGA Tour, nor is it a designated elevated event, but for the last two years it has become the tournament in which the biggest news in the history of the sport has happened; news that has shocked the very foundation of golf. Call if the golf war.

It’s too easy to look at Michael Block (Titleist Pro V1) and consider him a one-tournament wonder.

At the risk of using a pun, I guess we’ll have to live with the great divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, which might not seem like a bad thing when it comes to the majors.

Whoever wins the 2023 PGA Championship, Michael Block (Titleist V1) will be the people’s champ.
