British Open

What Brits call simply "The Open Championship". I look forward to watching this tournament each year for a few reasons. Watching golf from 8 AM to 1 PM is a novel treat. The type of golf needed to play the links style golf courses is very different than what we normally see over here in the U.S. The field is usually more culturally diverse than what we normally see. I have short-lived fantasies every now and then about living on the British Isles. I recently met a woman who moved "across the pond" to see what it was like. After two years, she moved back to the states because she couldn't afford the taxes (isn't that why we left the Empire in 1776?). Back to golf; I have no prediction for a winner this week, but the Open has put together an exceptional website at www.opengolf.com. Daddy says check it out.
