Message: [QUOTE="controlfade, post: 5297317, member: 12981"] The membership at Oakmont or any other US Open have no say in how the course is set up. The USGA works directly with the Course Superintendent to set up the course conditions. If Oakmont decided they wanted to cut the rough to 2” or let it grow to 8” it wouldn’t matter. The USGA director of Agronomy makes that call and every call leading to the Open. They have been making adjustments to the course since Oakmont was last awarded the Open. There is a reason that these courses are chosen 8-10 years in advance of hosting. [/QUOTE]
