U.S. Open

The golf world is totally focused on the 126th U.S. Open currently underway at the iconic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. While the patrons in attendance are there to watch the best professional golfers vie for the coveted championship trophy and lay claim to one of the four major championships, the event itself would not happen without the 3,000 volunteers who line the 7,440-yard course and expansive surroundings.

The 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills this week is testing the patience of golfers and fans alike. The wind on the 7,440-yard course is a challenge for even the most talented golfers. The traffic on Montauk Highway is a hurdle for spectators. Tackle those two things successfully and the experience is unmatched.
