My nice, quiet, fast train is overrun with chatty golf fans. And they're running local service all week, no express trains. Waah!
But seriously, having such a big golf tournament is great for the area and yada yada, but it's only Tuesday and I want my normal commute back!

Sorry about your commute, but Congrats on the Open being at Merion. A great old course, for years the PGA assumed it did not have enough real estate to hold a modern major. Kudos to the folks at Merion who acquired just enough extra land andmade enough deals with neighboring landowners to make it a possibility. It's kind of a shame that Brookline CC didn't get to host it on the 100th anniversary of Francis Ouimet's thrilling victory (see The Greatest Game Ever Played) but I look forward to seeing Merion on TV. Oh, but there I go, being a chatty golf fan.  I haven't heard Francis Ouimet's name in years. My parents were big golfers all their lives and belonged to a golf club in western Massachusetts. As a young kid, I remember my mother's favorite caddy at her club excitedly thank my mother for helping him secure a Francis Ouimet scholarship. I Googled Francis Ouimet scholarships and saw the scholarships are still awarded each year. Good for golf. |
