Heather and I decided to take Friday June 27th off of work to attend the Women's US Open at Interlachen. Golf has long been my favorite sport to watch in person and this tournament didn't disappoint.
Heather was particularly excited to see some of the long time greats such as Karrie Webb, Annika Sorenstam, Juli Inkster, and Cristie Kerr. I was mostly excited to see some of the new up and comers such as Lorena Ochoa, Morgan Pressel, Yani Tseng, Michelle Wie, and Natalie Gulbis. Unfortunately, we never got to see Wie and Gulbis because of a rain delay that ended the day at about 4:30 but thankfully we got there early and still managed to get in a pretty full day.
Seeing pro golfers sure gives you an appreciation for what it takes to be that good. What makes it even more astounding is seeing that some of these women are actually just early teens, one was only 13 and on her second US Open and at least one other was only 15. I can't imagine having that much maturity to cope with those pressures at an age like that. Amazing!
If you have any appreciation for golf I highly recommend you attend every professional tournament you can, you won't be disappointed.
