=============================OPEN THOUGHTS - By Jack Berry=============================The old Scots had it right – Nae Wind, Nae Rain, Nae Golf. The combination made it a perfect BritishOpen. The four I covered must have anomalies,. I really didn’t have to wear the cashmere sweaters Ibought (the dollar was worth more back in the last century) or the rain suit for Jack Nicklaus andNick Faldo at the Old Course.

Nicklaus won in 1978 by two strokes over Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Raymond Floyd and SimonOwen and in 1990 Faldo destroyed Greg Norman in the third round when they were tied for the lead.Norman was far adrift, as they say there, and Faldo posted a five shot victory over Payne Stewart andMark NcNulty.

It’s a shame Stewart never won in Scotland. He had the name and the knickers although over there,knickers refers to female undergarments. Stewart’s “uniform” was tasteful.

Then along came John Daly. I must say he did brighten those dull, cloudy, rainy first two rounds.

Daly was a hallucinogenic rainbow, a big box of melted Crayolas. And then he apparently snipped offenough of the material to give Tom Watson the tie he wore Sunday on ESPN. He must’ve given himthat shirt too. Well, on second thought, wherever Watson found that shirt, it fit him.

My two other Opens were at Muirfield, Lee Trevino over Jack Nicklaus – and, really, Tony Jacklin, in1972 and Watson over Trevino by four in 1980 with English hope Ken Brown talking himself out of iton Saturday night. There was nae wind nor rain in 1972, just Trevino, the defending champion,chipping in from everywhere. Jacklin, the great hope of the English, winner three years previously,must’ve been thinking ahead going to the 71st hole on a bright, sunny Sunday.

It’s a par 5 and he appeared in line for a possible birdie while Trevino was over the green and, in theback of Jacklin’s mind, a likely bogey. Trevino chipped in, Jacklin threw up and Nicklaus, the favoritegoing in after winning the Masters and U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, slid in for second. By a shot.

So, it doesn’t rain sideways and blow like the jet stream. But when it does, isn’t it fun to watch?

GLSP INTERNETTELEVISION NETWORK (est. 2001)Channels:Michigan Runner http://michiganrunner.tvMichigan Skier http://michiganskier.tvMichigan Golfer http://michigangolfer.tvMichigan Travel http://michigantravel.tvRunning Canada http://runningcanada.tvRunning Network http://tiny.cc/4g25qYou Tube http://tiny.cc/7i4l0

That said, Luis Oosthuizen’s seven shot victory certainly was one of the very best in the 139 OpenChampionships that have been played. He got a break playing early in the second round despite thechill, the rain and some wind. But it was nothing like the winds that ripped the afternoon playersincluding Rory McIlroy who went from a record-tying nine-under-par 63 first round to an 80…asnowman followed by a zero! I know those numbers!

All Louie Louie did was drive the ball better than anyone else. He did it with power – 319.4 yardaverage, and made 20 birdies, more than anyone, and finished third in fewest putts.

I know we’ll hear questions “Is he a one trick pony?” Only Tiger Woods (remember him?), PhilMickelson (still trying to play the 12th hole), Vijay Singh, Mark O’Meara, Angel Cabrera and PadraigHarrington, have been multiple winners back to the doubles of Nick Price and John Daly in the early1990s. That covers nearly 60 major championships. It’s darn hard to win one of those.

Paul Azinger, Davis Love, Tom Kite are terrific players. They won one major. We know Lee Westwoodand Colin Montgomerie are exceptional players. They’ve come so close but haven’t won.

Mentioning Zinger and Monty in the same paragraph brings up the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manorin Wales in October. Can Corey Pavin be the captain Azinger was after resurrecting the USAfollowing the two worst beatings ever suffered by the American team?

If Pavin doesn’t read Azinger’s book on the Cup victory at Valhalla and talk with him, he’s crazybecause right now, the USA does not look good compared to the Europeans. I liked Zinger’s talk aboutgoing for aggressiveness. He had it with Anthony Kim, Hunter Mahan and Boo Weekley. What will hehave this time? I hope Rickie Fowler makes the team. He can lose a hole spectacularly and win one thesame way. I hope Ricky Barnes makes it. And Dustin Johnson who seems recovered from his Sundaymeltdown at Pebble Beach.

Europe looks to lead in aggressiveness with Rory McIlroy, Alvaro Quiros, Henrik Stinson and IanPoulter. And it has the home court. Graham McDowell, the U.S. Open champion from NorthernIreland, won the Celtic Manor Wales Open in June on the 2010 Course (that’s its name).

AND, BEFORE I RUN out of room, golf today is like the Eagles song: “You Are Not Alone.”America, once the gold standard of professional golf, has a lot of company now. Oosthuizen, a SouthAfrican, wins The Open. Graeme McDowell, a Northern Irishman wins Our Open. A Californian, PhilMickelson, does win the Masters. A Korean, Y.E. Yang, outduels our ex-champ Tiger Woods to winthe PGA Championship, and a Japanese, Ryo Ishikawa, shoots 58 on the Japanese pro circuit and he’snot old enough to drink a Kirin Ichiban.

Kickball can have its World Cup. We have it every week. And, incidentally, how come the World Cupand the Claret Jug British Open trophies are so small compared to our enormous Wanamaker (PGA)and Stanley Cup (NHL) trophies? Obviously, golf and hockey are more important.

My last shot is TV. ESPN assembled an all-star cast for its coverage of the Open, major championshipwinners all – Tom Watson, Andy North, Judy Rankin, Tom Weiskopf, Curtis Strange and PaulAzinger. And my nominee for best sports telecaster of any major sport on all major networks – AnnArbor’s Mike Tirico. So smooth, so knowledgeable, so great with Zinger. When they’re workingtogether, it’s like Christmas.

===============================================================================BOYNE'S TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS - MIKE CHUMBLER AND KEN DEVINE ON HOWIT ALL BEGAN===============================================================================The Michigan Golfer Television team is covering the 19th edition of the Boyne Tournament ofChampions next week and we are very excited about it. While you will be able to follow the onlinescoring via the Michigan PGA website, we will be bringing our viewers a recap every night. You canfollow all of this action at http://glsp.com/boyne .

To start our coverage off, we reprise a show that featured former COO of the Michigan PGA, KenDevine and Boyne's Mike Chumbler, who was also there from the start and also a remarkable finish,where Dan Olsen went Eagle, Ace, Birdie or 313, for what was called the "area code finish."

===============================================================================HALL SHOOTS RECORD 62; THOMPSON MEDALIST AND ALEX JONES MISSES THE CUTAT JUNIOR AMATEUR===============================================================================Gavin Hall set a championship record with his 10-under-par round of 62 and Curtis Thompson tookmedalist honors at 10-under-par 134 at the 2010 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, being held atEgypt Valley Country Club.

Hall, 15, took advantage of his 7:40 a.m. tee time and the cooler conditions it brought, veritablylighting up the course to shoot 31 on both nines and come home in a tie for second place after 36holes. His 62 put him into the USGA record books, two strokes ahead of Joe Monte, who shot 64 inthe 2004 championship at Longmeadow Country Club in Massachusetts.

“It’s exciting to go out to a course that I’ve played maybe twice,” Hall said. “It’s definitely cool to seta record at the U.S. Junior.”

After missing the cut at the 2009 championship, the native of Pittsford, N.Y., was excited to havemade his mark on this year’s championship. After shooting a first-round 73, he birdied three of hisfirst four holes and shot five under on the back nine (his front nine), including making a 20-footer foreagle on the par-5 17th hole.

“I came in with a lot of confidence, but I wanted to prove and redeem myself from last year because Ididn’t make match play,” Hall said. “Coming into this week, I wanted to make match play, becauseit’s a whole different ballgame. You’re not really fighting to come back. You’re playing the course, butyou’re really just playing the person next to you.”

Thompson, a 17-year-old from Coral Springs, Fla., started his round on a solid note, converting a 10-foot putt on the 10th hole (his first) for the first of his seven birdies. With his longtime caddie, DerekFox, who spent five years on staff at Egypt Valley, on his bag, Thompson felt free to try some morechallenging shots, including sending a risky tee shot close to a cart path but still making birdie on thepar-5 seventh hole.

“I’ve played with him [Derek] for five or six years now, so he knows all my clubs. He knowseverything about my game,” Thompson said. “Somebody else on the bag, maybe a club caddie,

probably wouldn’t have let me hit that shot on seven. But since he knows my game and that I’m notone to lay up, he let me hit it.”

Thompson, playing in his fourth U.S. Junior Amateur, relishes the fact that he has put himself intoposition to bring another USGA championship to the Thompson household. His younger sister, Alexis,won the 2008 U.S. Girls’ Junior.

“This is my fourth year, so hopefully I’ve gotten a little better each year,” Thompson said. “My sisterwon, so obviously I’d like to bring that title home, but in match play, anything can happen.”

Hall was joined in second place by defending champion Jordan Spieth, 16, of Dallas, Texas, who madethe turn at one-over-par for the round. His second nine (the first nine), however, was a different story,as he rattled off five birdies for a 5-under 31 and finished stroke play at 135.

“I knew what Gavin did before my round even started so I knew I needed five under on the backnine,” Spieth said. “So I said, ‘Don’t hold anything back, play aggressive and if it doesn’t work out, itstarts over after today anyway.’ “

=================MG ON THE ROAD=================

The Open, South Africa, RobbenIsland and Nelson MandelaNight at Tiger StadiumKudos to the folks of SouthAfrica. This is their year. LuisOosthuizen wins The Open,their country hosts the WorldCup and Invictus hits the bigscreen. A poignant momentoccurred when Oosthuizenremarked that winning TheOpen on Nelson Mandela'sbirthday, made it extra special.

Invictus, ( Latin for"unconquered" ) told the storyhow Nelson Mandela joinedforces with the captain of SouthAfrica's rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country.

Our sister channel, Michigan Runner Television, has been running stories on South Africa for twoyears. Gary Morgan, Olympian race walker and now reporter for GLSP, has been in South Africa tonot only cover the Comrades Marathon, but to run in it, a distance of 56 miles. The tapes he broughtback last year, showed how the country was getting ready for the World Cup. Morgan also took aside trip to Robben Island, the place where Mandela was imprisoned for over three decades. Thevideo we have selected for you, is one that shows the viewer Mandela's cell. Morgan gives us a verymoving piece.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik7S36JQIVE

When Oosthuizen made his remarks, I thought back to a summer night in 1990 when I and a groupof colleagues from Eastern Michigan University attended the Nelson Mandela night at a packed TigerStadium. There was electricity in the air that evening and a lovefest in the stands. What a night, whata story, what a memory.

American hero on board making his final journey from Iraq. The body of Cpl. Brock Bucklin is onboard and his brother, Cpl. Brad Bucklin, has accompanied him from Iraq to their home here in GrandRapids.” The airline later asked people to remain on the plane until Brock’s body was removed fromthe plane.

==========================================================94TH ANNUAL MICHIGAN WOMEN'S AMATEUR GOLF TOURNAMENT==========================================================Eighty-four of the best female amateur golfers in Michigan will compete in the 94th Annual MichiganWomen's Amateur Golf Tournament held this Monday, July 26 through Friday, July 30 at the St.Clair River Country Club in St. Clair.

The tournament is sponsored annually by the Golf Association of Michigan (GAM).

Players of all ages will compete to become the Women's Amateur Champion. Last year'schampionship saw Britney Hamilton defeat the 2009 Women's Player of the Year, Christine Meier andMichigan State University standout, Natalie Brehm in the final two rounds.

"We are excited to have players of this caliber come to St. Clair to play. I expect the competition to bevery enjoyable for people to come out and see," said Scott Rich, head golf professional at the St. ClairRiver Country Club.

The historic, Donald Ross-designed course, with the addition of several new holes designed by JerryMatthews in recent years, will provide a good test for all players in the field.

The course will play 6,171 yards for the competition.

The event will consist of two days of stroke play followed by three days of exciting match playcompetition. Play will begin at 8 a.m. each day. The public is invited and there is no admission charge.

The St. Clair River Country Club is located at 1714 N. River Road, St. Clair, Michigan, 48079, justone hour north of Detroit and one hour east of Flint. For more information, call 810-329-7300 or visitthe club website at http://www.scrcc.net.

Britney Hamilton (Lake Orion / The Moors) will return to defend her 2009 title. Stephanie Baconshould be a hometown crowd favorite as she hails from St. Clair and is a member at St. Clair RiverCC. Bacon graduated from St. Clair High School this spring. Hometown golfer Gayle Spinazze (St.Clair / Marysville GC) is also playing in the tournament for the first time.

Sibling rivalry could come into play when Shana, Ashley and Meagan Bauer (Grand Blanc) who allplayed for the University of Michigan last season, take to the links.

“For years now we’ve all played in many of the same tournaments and on the same team,” said AshleyBauer. “But most of those tournaments aren’t match play so I think it puts a different perspective onthe Women’s Am. Knowing that we might end up facing each other at some point in the tournamentwould make for a really fun and competitive match. We can't control how the bracket shapes up andhopefully we would meet each other later rather than sooner, but that's a long ways down the roadand we've all have to play some really good golf to get to that point.”

Ashley was captain for the Wolverines this season and says it is easy to fall into that role when she isplaying with her sisters too. Not to mention that as the oldest Bauer, it just seems natural to takecharge. But most of the time, the three sisters help each other and function as equals on the golfcourse.

Former champions Joan Garety (Ada / Egypt Valley) and Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll (Haslett / MSUWomen’s Golf Coach) will also be competing this year. Garety won the tournament in 1997 at BlackRiver and in 1982 at Tam O’Shanter. Slobodnik-Stoll was the champion in 1996 and 1998 at EgyptValley and Boyne’s Alpine course respectively.

=====================================================BALL WINS 2ND GAM BOYS STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP====================================================Jeremy Ball (Bloomfield Hills / The Heathers Club) knew when he hit his 9-iron on the 18th hole atGlen Oaks GC and landed 15 feet from the hole that he was going to end his day on a positive note.He birdied the hole and won the 2nd GAM Boys Stroke Play Championship with a 72-75-147.

“I didn’t really know where anyone was in the standings or how anyone else was doing,” said Ball, 14.“But I knew that was a good shot and that it might give me the chance for a good finish. It turned outto be a very clutch shot because that birdie is what gave me the win.”

Ball topped runner-up Ashwin Arasu (Ann Arbor) by two strokes.

“I wasn’t hitting my driver all that well but I managed to make some good shots on the fairway andmake some good hits around the green and that was the difference I think,” said Ball. “My puttingwas on and off but overall I’m happy with how I played.”

Ball will play for Brother Rice next year.

=================NEFF'S NUGGETS=================Italian Golfer . . .========================An 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy isin and asks, 'how do you stay in such great physical condition?'

I'm Italian, and I am a golfer,' says the old guy, and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well beforedaylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a glass of vino, and all is well.'

'Well' says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Father when hedied?'

'Who said my Father's dead?'

The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old, and your Father's still alive. How old is he?'

'He's 100 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer. 'In fact, he golfed with me this morning, and then we went tothe topless beach for a walk

and had a little vino, and that's why he's still alive. He's Italian, and he's a golfer, too.'

'Well,' the doctor says, 'that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Father'sFather? How old was he when he died?'

'Who said my Nono's dead?'

Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, howold is he?'

'He's 118 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning, too?'

'No, Nono couldn't go this morning, because he's getting married today.'

At this point the doctor is close to losing it. 'Getting married!!! Why would a 118 year-old guy want to getmarried?'

'Who said he wanted to?'
