Go Watch the Buick Open

Yes, I know Tiger Woods isnt going to be there. Ditto for Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh. However, still go and support the Buick Open this week in Grand Blanc, especially if you have never gone.

Watching a PGA Tour event in person is one of the coolest things in all of sports. You can go to any hole you want, at any part of that hole. You can chit chat with golfers as they are walking by, and get up close with any of them.

Vartan Kupelian had a great article about this in the Detroit News today. http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070625/SPORTS04/706250305/1004/SPORTS. Even without Woods, its still fun to see the massive following John Daly has and the support he receives, the up and coming Camillo Villegas and his awkward way of reading putts, the always steady Jim Furyk, the very personable Stephen Ames. It will be well worth it.
