Firmly ensconced in Papap Coldwarrior’s Garagemahal for the Father’s Day golf outing on Saturday. My first practice round will already be underway at 5am after this posts. The Competition, play, and steaks will be Saturday. I’ll let yins know the result.
The US Open starts Thursday AM in CA at the Los Angeles C.C. (that’s Country Club for yinz non golfers, n’at). The LACC has never hosted a major. hell, they never host anything. DO they deserve The Open? No. They don’t. This was a bullshit move by the USGA. CC’s (Country Clubs) worth their salt work to get the Open…Oakmont, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Bethpage, Shinnecock, Oakmont…yeah, I said Oakmont twice because it is the nastiest, hardest, most unforgiving course in the world. And that is what the Open is. I hope the LACC doesn’t fail like what happened at the unprepared 2017 Open (learn how to cut the grass and attend to the patrons).
And now THIS: The Ashes 2023. The Aussies just dismantled the Indians in test cricket in England for the World Test Championship. No mean feat! Now the Aussies stay in England to continue The Ashes Series. The Aussies hold the Ashes and England must win outright over the summer. The last wickets will be at the end of July at The Oval. It’s a brutal best of 5 Test. If yinz get a chance to look at it, DO! It starts Saturday.
This is an Open.
