MAKE SURE YOUR FREAKING SOUND GUY ISN’T SPENDING HIS DAY AT THE OPEN RATHER THAN MAKING SURE THE SHOW IS ACTUALLY WATCHABLE!!!!ÂÂ
Yes, I’m shouting on purpose. It’s 9:17 and Big Love is on but I can’t hear a stinkin’ word of it–bingo–it just went on. Sorry for freaking people but TV is thin right now.
Okay, the Open is awesome so far. Supposedly there were 35-40,000 people at the practice round today. And if that’s accurate I say Hooooorahhhhh! Because I skated around town today as though a plague or killer bees hit the town of Oakmont. Seriously, I have to hand it to Oakmont and everyone involved because things are sweet so far. Then there’s poor Kathy Gillen, miles from the Open, having her morning coffee run, overrun with Open goers. Now that’s very funny in a way that will jinx me for sure.
I took Jake and Beth today and it was beautiful weather and exciting to see the hub-bub. I love a good hub-bub. We saw Garcia and Alafabel (spelled wrong) and another Spaniard as well as some guys I didn’t recognize. I also got great pictures of Jake, Beth and their friend Jack lying around the rough suffering from temporary heat stroke. Something to remember the event by. But it was fun.
Sorry this is very boring. Hopefully someone will walk unadvisably across a green or something on Wednesday and I can give you some good stuff. I did have a friend hop a fence to cut in line. That’s sort of fantastic for a rule follower like me.ÂÂ
Maybe Paris Hilton will break out in time to make an appearance and shake things up! Yes, I’m reaching, but there’s got to be something great on the horizon.
We shall see.

Yeah…more Open people at Starbucks today. If you’re looking for excitement tomorrow try to pull some of that fast rule breaking on #17. My husband will be marshalling that hole and he’ll probably be asleep because he has to get up at freaking 5:00 to get to his hole by 8:00. And Haha, he probably won’t have time for a Starbucks on his way. So if you’re going to skip lines or run over the greens to touch Tiger then do it on #17.
I love me some Big Love. It makes me giddy.
I have a secret. I was a varsity golf player in high school. I even had a kick ass burnt orange letter jacket to prove it. However, golf is BORING, which would explain why I never pursued it past high school. I can definitely see the appeal of all the people watching at the Open though.
