Tomorrow (6/18) is US Open

The good part of US open is that it is a "people"'s open.



Don't Get Excited too early



Here is the article from golf.about.com Any professional golfer, or any amateur with a USGA men's handicap index of 1.4 or lower, can attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open.

Many golfers are exempt from sectional qualifying, or exempt from local qualifying but not from sectional. Most of the exemptions are based on such things as performance in other majors, performance in other USGA championships, standing on the money list or world golf rankings, and so on.Assuming you don't qualify for an exemption, then you'll have to take part in a local qualifier.In 2006, local qualifiers were held at 110 locations across the United States, with more than 7,000 golfers taking part.

Local qualifiers are 18 holes in length, played at stroke play. Golfers who advance out of local qualifying move on to the sectional qualifiers, where they are also joined by golfers who were exempt from local qualifying. In 2006, 750 golfers took part in sectional qualifying at 14 locations (12 in the U.S., one in Europe and one in Japan).Those who make it through sectional qualifying join the final field of 156 golfers for the U.S. Open, along with all the golfers who were exempt from any qualifying.

Now, how do you get into those local qualifiers?

Easy: Fill out an application and mail it in, along with your check for the entry fee. As long as you meet the entry requirements (professional or amateur with 1.4 handicap index or below), and you correctly fill out the entry form, you're in. (Although it should be noted that if you get in and your performance fails to meet a "good play" scoring threshhold set by the USGA, any future applications on your part might be rejected.) 哈哈，so you have to behavior yourself. 哈哈

In 2006, the entry fee was $150 (便宜！！！). Entry forms are posted, when they become available each year, on the USGA Web site here. The entry deadline is usually in late April. Shall we take a look?
