fun:day - u.s. senior open

today was the final day of the 2010 u.s. senior open out at sahalee country club. despite what people may think, golf is real exciting to watch. so i trekked out to redmond with my dad to watch some of the pros take on the course for the final time this week.

so what did i see today? fred couples having a bit of bad luck on the second hole, but still finishing with much power and dignity in his home town. several other players who also had bad luck on the second hole. tom kite and his awesome straw hat. jay haas who i really just liked because he is named after a brand of avocados. and of course, bernhard langer killing it all day to take the title. and all this with no camera? sometimes i actually wonder why i like golf. it's the one spectator sport where they don't encourage standing, being loud and taking pictures. in the immortal words of seth rogan as officer michaels in 'superbad'..."fuck that!"

ok, seriously though, golf is a really good time. everyone is very friendly and considerate to all viewers, which is more than we can admit at a football game. sometimes things can be enjoyed while still being quiet. i really wonder, though, how they can get 30,000 people to be completely silent. it boggles my mind. but it's so peaceful and pretty and green. goddamn, why don't they let you bring cameras!? sometimes i hate that i'm such a good samaritan and didn't sneak one in. at least you can see what my ticket looked like!
