So, went the open today and it was nice to see Tiger back out there. We had Greenskeeper passes, but wanted to see Tiger up close. So we went to 8 green and was there about 3-4 groups ahead of him. It was like a stirred up ant pile when he came to the 8th hole. Thousands of people following him and not too many empty spaces in the gallery on the entire hole. He ended up paring the hole, but he just didn't look happy. I heard that people were heckling him, but I didn't hear it when he was around us. He was +4 when he got to 8, but finished the day +2. Sure hope he makes the cut because is just a different atmosphere when he is out there. I am going back out there tomorrow and hope they get to play golf. Not looking too good though.
BUT.....
Besides the golf, there was the coolest thing I have seen. Not sure if anyone else has seen or done this, but as we were leaving there were about 20 or so police officers outside the exit with breathalyzers. Not giving tickets to anyone, it was to make sure everyone knew if they were over the legal limit to drive. This was optional for people and I thought it was the greatest idea ever. When you went up to the officers, one had a survey paper and he asked "do you believe that you would be able to drive in your current state of mind?" Then they would mark yes or no. Then the other officer would have you blow into the machine. Once the number came up, he would give it to the officer to write down. It was almost like a survey, plus it allowed people that were unclear if they were able to drive know. The officers were having a great time with this and so was everyone else. I would be all in favor of this set up after big events (football games, etc) to make sure that people knew if they were ok to drive.
In case you were wondering, I was at a .015 and the wife was at .013.
