The US Open stands out among golf tournaments.  With a low enough handicap, anyone can attempt to qualify for the US Open.  Those qualifying rounds, then, have an allure to golfers to the point that they seem like mythical grounds.

Here to put reality to those myths is the USGA's Bill McCarthy.  Bill also tells us about the US Amateur Four-Ball, a somewhat new entry in the USGA's array of championships.  Bill is the Championship Director for that event, and gives us an overview of both the history and the hope for the future of the event.

Of course, someone with the USGA is keen on the rules of golf, so we couldn't leave without having Bill discuss handicapping.  Many of us do not have official handicaps, but that is one of the services the USGA has always offered.  Bill makes the case for why, and how, you can get started on an official handicap.

Few people walk the "golf is for everyone" walk more than the USGA, so this was a treat of an interview.
