I'll be paying a visit as soon as possible. Despite severe bashing from several quarters, I've always been a big supporter of the USGA. It's a body made up of human beings and, as such, prone to mistakes, errors in judgment, even greed on occasion. But I feel strongly that, overall, they do a fantastic job. All I know is that without the enthusiastic support of several people in the USGA hierarchy, the Open would never have come to Bethpage - still the hardest course I've ever played, tee-to-green. Even before 2002, however, the US Open was always my favorite major. The deep rough, the narrow fairways, the slick greens, the constant complaints - that's what the Open is all about. Watching some of those prima donnas on tour make fools of themselves one week out of the year is great fun. Thanks for the great article. I’ll be paying a visit as soon as possible.

I learned a little golf history about the golf tee recently. people used to use piles of sand to tee off, and a bunch of people invented metal spikes and other stuff to make it easy. The wooden tee has been around for 75 or so years. That some old technology! I found something new for tees. The pro spring tee is pretty cool. it has a spring inside and so it bends over everytime you hit the ball. Its supposed to last 18 round of golf. I havent had mine that long and its still goin! ray I have a fun little golf history shadowbox in my office. this looks like it’ll be pretty cool!
