Rather timely given the recent U.S. Amateur and announcement that it’ll be a US Open anchor site. We’re seeking a third to join us (and a member - the member we don’t know personally) to play Oakmont CC Thur 23rd Sept @ 2:30pm.
The round was won in a charity auction. It wasn’t cheap. But a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone like myself.
A 1903 Henry Fownes design, famous for its church pew bunkers and difficult routing, has (or will have, ‘25, ‘34, ‘42 and ‘49) 13 US Opens to its name.
You have to be careful with this. Most charity auctions don’t allow you to resell spots - obviously behind closed doors not an issue but doing a raffle or something on a forum, even behind the paywall, is asking to lose your spots all together and have them keep the money.
