begins tomorrow. 4:00Am eastern.
Not getting up that early but tomorrow will be one of those morning where when I start rousing I get up right away. Happily.
Love, love, love watching the British Open.

My favourite tournament of the year. I love that it is on early. I like seeing the different style of courses and how they are attacked.
P.S. I might get up at 4.

Watching a replay of last year's open, which I did see live, I was reminded that: Tiger Woods, Henrik Stenson, Hunter Mahan, Adam Scott, Lee Westwood, and Ian Poulter all had valid chances to win in the last round, before Phil finally did. Great drama.

I got up at 5 Joe. Will watch as much as I can. Do have a mid morning commitment. I wish they would show a few more golfers.
Did you see the factory worker (Singleton), who borrowed a friend's wedge to qualify? Blasted his drive right down the middle on #1. Probably no shot at making the cut but he'll always have that moment.

I heard about the dude. I didn't see the tee shot but bet it'll be played a few times.

Tom Watson just closed out with a 68 at the age of 64. Amazing!

My wife says, "Wasn't that the guy from the commercial?"
Maybe she watches more than I realize. At least to the commercials eh?
