... for the U.S. Open. I'm rooting for my nephew, Cliff Kresge, who starts at 8:30 eastern time.
Here's a cool front-page article in the NYT about the fancy RVs some golfers live in on the road. Like the Osbournes, some golfers just bring their whole family along with them as they tour. The PGA Tour provides day care for the kids, and, according to the article, is looking to provide "home schooling," as there are 467 kids who travel along with the Tour. It's kind of a glamourous lifestyle, traveling around in a $500,000 RV. But though you may have "granite floors, plasma televisions, lamp-shaded wall sconces and retractable bay windows and awnings," it's packed into 500 square feet of space. And what if the golfer has had a bad round and needs to get it together for the next day and the kids are tired of everything revolving around dad's mental state?
UPDATE: Cliff has finished Round 1. The good news is: he's tied with Tiger Woods. The bad news is: that's only 61st place (right now--not everyone's finished). Tomorrow will be important.
FURTHER UPDATE: At this point--Friday at 7:42 CDT--the 2 over par finish is at 42nd place, as some players are still trying to finish the first round and others are beginning the second round. So I'll never be able to get the place number right for the first round, taken alone. Cliff starts at 1:30. Good luck!
