St Andrews... Looking forward.. to what?

@SFBAYGOLF Kerr & Creamer unless Tigre wins this week RT @johnraser In your opinion, what's the most exciting story in golf right now?

@PlayersTowel St Andrews: Woods Appears to Be Confident but Is Searching for Consistency http://is.gd/drZTa

I so look forward to the Open.. have, it seems, all my life... but my golf story is two Americans on top of the LPGA after a lot of years of asking the question: where are the Americans? I'm not a nationalist, but I root for the home team and sure find Paula and Cristie a bit more accessible than an interpreter.. Paula and Cristie are the biggest story in Golf unless Tiger makes a run.. Agreed. But, can I pick Westwood again?  ...beware of the wounded golfer and the "experts" have picked the top players in the world. how about Darren Clarke? Who's your pick?

Saw the story about Tiger dumping his Cameron for a  Nike Method Putter... will it matter to anything but his bank account? There is the logical answer about it being heavier and Tiger thinking that will help him on the slower greens of St. Andrews. And KJ Choi borrows a page from the handbook of one Randy Haag... Look him up at Amatuergolf.com.

I've finished watching the miserable job the Golf Channel has done to preview the Open and the much better job that ESPN has done...It's time to get this show on the road and let the players do the talking. My hope is that someone someday puts someone with an ounce of intelligence in charge of the Golf Channel someday. It is truly an embarrassment most of the time.

What's Next? Open Champs? Tiger's $700 Million Divorce? the PGA?

About this time of year the forums start buzzin' with what will be introduced in the fall by the oems's and thoughts turn to the Open Championship and perhaps the PGA... but I'm thinking Ryder cup and all the gossip... Monty snubs Faldo and Pavin snubs Zinger? or Not? Sorta reminds me of the grave dancing in Corporate America when  a new boss comes in and has about 4-6 months where he or she will blame their predecessor for all their problems.. or do they?.. seems if they know what to do they'd just do it... haven't read Azinger's book... be interested to hear what anyone thinks about it...Oh..and lost in the hoopla at the French Lick Resort in Indiana (Larry Bird's hometown) and the 43rd PGA Professional National Championship, University of Illinois men’s head golf coach Mike Small hoisted the coveted Walter Hagen Cup last night for the third time – and the second time in as many years.

So what are you looking forward to?
