Chambers Bay using white dots to separate fairways from greens at US Open

Chambers-Bay-white-dots

Those of you who watch the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay this week are going to be in for a treat. There have already been complaints about how difficult the course is set up, and the layout is so challenging that the USGA is using white dots to indicate where fairways end and greens begin.

Golf reporter Stephanie Wei shared a couple photos of the course, noting that both white dots and sprinkler heads will serve an important purpose — giving players an indication of where they can legally mark their ball.

In addition to unique nuances throughout the course, there have also been some questions about the actual condition.

The US Open is typically one of the most challenging tournaments of the year in golf, with the winner often finishing right around even par. Unless someone gets hot like Martin Kaymer did at Pinehurst last year, we expect that to be the case at Chambers Bay.
