Mid-July and it’s the Open Championship!!

It’s one of my favorite times of the year.  I have a handful.  It starts in April, with the playing of The Masters.  Then the US Open on Father’s Day weekend. Finally, my absolute favorite:  the Open Championship.  Here in the colonies, it’s the British Open, but I prefer to call it by its proper name. 

I was there for the Open in ‘05, played at St. Andrews.  My friend Adam lives in St. Andrews, and I was able to stay with him.  I LOVE Scotland.  It’s a place where I found myself feeling so at home, feeling that I was meant to be in that place.

This year, the Open is being played at Turnberry, Ayrshire, on Scotland’s west coast.  Happy to see 5-time Open champion Tom Watson open with a 65.  Let’s see if he can match that today.
