U.S. Open 2022: A very Boston U.S. Open glossary
Noelia Hn
After nearly 35 years of waiting and wondering, it's finally official: The U.S. Open has returned to the comforting confines of The Country Club. But while the GPS says “Boston,” it may as well be another planet—a planet where Sam Adams is a brewer not a founding father, where a fella by the name of Larry is worshiped as a god, and where uttering a single “R” is grounds for getting tossed in the “hahbah.” But never fear, dainty West Coast golf fan. You don't need Rosetta Stone to learn the local language. If you stick with us and keep your head down, we'll have you speaking fluent Masshole in no time.
