BROOKLINE, Mass. – The U.S. Open has a reputation as the toughest test in golf, and this week at The Country Club outside Boston, that reputation will be further solidified. The rough is thick, the greens are fast and players rarely will have a flat, even lie in the fairway. It promises to be a brutal test.
A player’s game has to be razor sharp if he hopes to be in contention Sunday, and every piece of equipment has to be dialed in as well. Golfweek’s David Dusek is at The Country Club and has spent his days in the practice area and on the range. Here are some of the interesting equipment photos he has taken this week.
