The Open is one of my favorite tournaments. There are two reasons for this. I really appreciate the style of golf you have to play to win. Second I like the links courses they have in the rota. There is also a third reason which has nothing to do with golf. I'm an early riser and the TV coverage comes on in the wee hours of the morning. Normally once I'm awake I'm up for the day. Today was no exception; awoke at 5:30 AM and decided I might as well watch the early coverage at Royal Troon. After hitting the head I found my favorite recliner tuned in to the Golf Channel got up to speed, settled back and promptly fell asleep. During my "nap" the whole leader board changed. Woke at 7:00 AM and watched some good golf until 10:30 AM.
The last couple of days have been some real scorchers. A little uncomfortable to play golf. But, since most of us didn't have enough sense to stay inside in the air conditioning there were a couple of "hotly contested" days of competition. Mostly the same winners. We finally did get some much needed rain last evening, and today looks to be pleasant.
Off to the shower so I can get ready for another day of fun.
