PrintJust a short time ago, I spoke with Mike Davis, Senior Director of Rules and Competitions for the USGA. He is the man primarily responsible for the setup of the US Open at Bethpage in a few weeks. In our conversation we cover a ton of topics, including:
- Added length to Bethpage
- His setup philosophy to create options for players and his team
- Setting up courses to the intent of the original architect
- The impact that V grooves will have on him next year at Pebble

Great stuff, RB, if you
haven’t read Feinstein’s book on making the Open at Bethpage, please do so. It really opened my eyes.
