Phil,

As mentioned in my email, probably Tuesday very late with my son, and definitely Friday for the day with Geoffrey.

Just make sure you come back with a count of the number of guys hitting their straight shots back in lay up range so as not to worry about working the ball. ::)

My bet is you'll be able to count them in your pants. :o

I wonder if the US Open will be widely televised in England. Since afternoons in the US are evenings in the UK maybe it will be on live at dinner time. That would be kind of cool to be able to play golf during the day and still watch the US Open live.

I was playing golf with a guy yesterday and he said his brother in law was working setting up one of the hospitality tents for someone, and they gave him 4 tickets...one for each day...and he can only attend 2 days....bummer.

Brent, There will be live coverage of all four days play available on Sky Sports.  However this is a satellite subscription channel and it will depend on whether your hosts or hotel subscribes to Sky and pays an upgrade for the sports coverage. Sky do pretty well with their golf coverage, although they are dependent upon the host broadcaster for their pictures.
