JUST A LITTLE GOLF, PLEASE

I haven't been able to play for about six months. Time has been a factor and today was no different. First I planned to play a Los Verdes, a nice public course with a great view of the Pacific Ocean. But, I had to deliver my daughter's cookie dough order to people from work. Next I thought I'd have time to play Harbor Park Municipal Golf Course, an executive par 34, nine hole course that you can use your driver and 3-wood on seven of the holes. But, again, time wasn't on my side. So, I ended up at Sea-Aire Golf Course in Torrance. 

I've heard about the course from several of my friends. It's a short , 9-hole pitch and putt. I got out of my car, put on my shoes, took my woods out of my bag, paid the man and 45 minutes later I was done. I was +8 and enjoy it all.

My "Better Than Work Score":

Partner: 2

Course: 2

Total number of good hits: 10

The Weather: 3

Total Score: 17 

Not a bad score considering I played alone and it was only 9 short holes. The great thing is I was able to squeeze in a little bit of golf into a small window of time. I think I'll take my 11 year old son here this summer. 

WHO WILL WIN THE US OPEN AT MERION?

The U.S. Open. What a great tournament! Watching the U.S. Open  I think the word to describe play is precision. There does not look like a lot of room for error. It is amazing to see players get in and out of trouble. 

Who do I think is going to win? It is hard to say. Phil Mickelson looked great yesterday and Luke Donald was playing equally as well until that bogey on 10. Tiger is struggling and missing by just that little bit that so often has made him great. 

Watching great golfers struggle to make par can lead some to believe they could play the course almost as well because at first glance the tee shots and putts don't look like hero shots. But, the greens look fast as lightning. The lightest tap seems to send the ball off on an endless adventure. 

So, let's set back and enjoy the pleasure of watching great golfers play a great course.
