According to the USGA, a limited number of fans will be allowed to attend its two major championships this June in California: the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego (June 17-20) and the U.S. Women’s Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco (June 3-6).
However, all spectators will have to follow California’s COVID-19 guidelines: residents must provide a negative COVID test, or proof of vaccination, while out-of-state attendees must be vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination, 14 days ahead of each event.
Additionally – even if vaccinated, face masks and social distancing will be required at all times on the golf course, for each USGA event.
The men’s championship will be contested at Torrey Pines in San Diego, which sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The women will tee it up at the Olympic Club which skirts the Pacific Ocean on its west side and Lake Merced on its northeast border.
“Last year, we missed the energy that fans bring to our U.S. Open championships,” said John Bodenhamer, senior managing director, Championships. “We are grateful to our local and state health and safety officials in California to be in a position to welcome some fans back this year to witness the greatest players in the world contending for these prestigious championships, while working to maintain the health and safety of all involved.”

US Government or anybody on US soil forcing people to inject garbage into your body and they won’t even tell you the ingredients & there is no more clinical testing
In the past our rights were to refuse any unwanted substance the government would want to force you to take
As soon as they do this forced vaccines and get away with it one time.. Forced vaccines are now your way of life, just like the stupid masks which are worse for you than the threat of covid and don’t stop covid, and the social distancing which deprives your immune system of the casual contact the human race needs for long term survival and makes society more drug dependent and consequently more dependent on the government
Remember… we only were going to social distance and put unhealthy masks on for two week temporary

Note to USGA, PGA, LPGA, and PGA Tour: get out of the blue states!!!
The PGA sucked in and destroyed the USGA and the Royal and Ancient. They have corporatized golf on every level down to the once a month amateur. They took a game invented by bored Scottish shepherds and succeeded in making into some kind of hierarchical cult. And they created this group of “golf professionals”, many of whom aren’t very good at the game, whose function is to preach the word of the the corporate elites.
After all of the insane raising of costs in the past 30 years they found the public was losing interest in playing. So they went about cheapening the rules with grounded clubs in hazards, pin in when putting on the green and using greens fees to support constant efforts to bring in “minorities” and women.
Minorities and women don;t need golf pros. I have had a grand total of 3 golf lessons in 50 years of playing. And I had s 5.6 index at one point. An honest 5.6 handicap index.
My local, municipally owned course has like 4 pros, on an eighteen hole course with a single putting green, chipping area and limited driving range. They have as many pros as they have greens keepers.
When that happens there isnt enough money in the world to get thw PGA out of the mess it created
Hopefully everyone in the PGA is vaccinated and continues to do…in a couple of years their numbers will be much smaller
