If you didn't you missed some great golf. It's always nice when Tiger, is actually playing like Tiger. I also love that there seems to be a resurgence of talent in the American ranks. I have to admit I was worried for a while there. But the highlight of the weekend may have been the play of Sergio Garcia.

In addition to being one of the best athletes in history and the United States’ crown jewel at the Olympic games, the world’s greatest swimmer is also humble, funny, sweet and a just a joy to watch in those post-competition interviews. With his retirement from professional competition pending (if you had as many gold medals as him, you’d consider giving a rest, too), Phelps plans to stay in the spotlight, but in a completely different capacity. How’s the Golf Channel sound?

Among the US Open records the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland set included the lowest score after 36 rounds, the lowest score after 54 and the lowest total score – a mark he shattered by four strokes.

Every year on the day after Father's Day  (no coincidence) we hold a golf tournament at the beautiful Stadium Golf Club in Schenectady.

Just ask Kevin Na he's a "PRO". I know I have taken AT LEAST 16 strokes on some holes but in my defense I am normally drunk and far from a pro. You have to cringe and feel bad for this guy. Don't forget the officials gave him a 15 he went back and watched the tape. Gave HIMSELF a 16.
