Because I needed to get some things done around the house and to give my elbow--which has been sore most of the season--a little rest, I took the weekend off from the links. I did, however, watch the second, third and final rounds of
The Open Championship; both online and on TV. I love to watch links-style golf and I was rooting hard for 59-year-old
Tom Watson to win his sixth
Claret Jug. This would have been one of the all-time greatest stories in the history of sports. But
unfortunately, Watson bogeyed the 72nd hole at
Turnberry, then lost in a four-hole playoff to
Stewart Cink. What made it even cooler was on that Saturday, I had read some of Cink's "
Tweets" on his
Twitter page about preparing for The Open in Ireland last week. This week, I hope to go back to the practice green and work a bit more on putting as I prepare to return to the golf course next weekend.
