U.S. Open – The Olympic Club, a great course for 2012, and iconography
June 14, 2012 – The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the U.S. Open, is the anual open golf tournament of the United States. It is the second of the four major championships in golf, and is on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. It is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday, which is Father’s Day.
The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult with a premium placed on accurate driving. U.S. Open play is characterized by tight scoring at or around par by the leaders, with the winner usually emerging at around even par.
U.S. Open iconography
Sports logos are always appealing, and especially those from the U.S. Open. This week we will be closely watching the developments of Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Luke Donald, Dustin Johnson, Lee Westwood or Tiger Woods, but nobody will ignore the logotype which identifies this U.S. Open, which is held from 11th to 17th June, 2012 at The Olympic Club, San Francisco (California).
Between shots of admiration among the best golfers in the world, thousands of public will also walk through the merchandise pavilion to buy a personalized souvenir with the logo of the major: pins, golf balls, headwear, divot tools, polo shirts, towels, pillowcases sticks, windbreaks, mugs, books, badges for the bag, vests, flags, stickers … hundreds of items to remember the memorable privilege of witnessing a great Major.
In MyGolfWay.com we want to make a collection of logos, designed with creativity and dedication in connection with the logo of the same golf club where the tournament is organized, to recall the editions of the U.S. Open in the last decade. The logos are not just from the past, but also include the venues designated for 2013 (Merion), 2014 (Pinehurst No. 2) and 2015 (Chambers Bay) editions. Here you also have their logos, which you may be familiar with.
By the way, the Open being in the demanding golf course of The Olympic Club has its antecedent in the 1998 U.S. Open. What a difference in the logo in only 14 years!
