What a hoot!
Tulsan's are being treated to seeing a local, Scott Verplank, paired today with the world's best golfer.
ME?
I'm hitting the pool, then the air conditioner, and sipping some iced "tea".
You're not catching me standing around in 100+ degree heat, watching rich guys with sticks hit balls.

Woods, who is seeking his 13th major title and his second straight PGA Championship win, has a two-shot lead over hometown favorite Scott Verplank. The pair will tee off at 2 p.m.

MetLife blimp over my property.
If you want to know where Tiger is, follow the blimp!

Great planning !! To hold a golf tournament in Tulsa, OK in mid-august! Not only it is hot, it is humid big time! They did the same thing when I lived in Chicagoland. The western open was held in July, which is the month I hated the most. But what a wonderful golf course...Cog Hill #4 course also known as Dubsdread. I have been lucky to play that course a few times since it is public. All you golfers do not miss to play it when you get a chance.

Local News Story
The PGA is Tulsa's Super Bowl, Final Four and Olympics all rolled into one.
So what's in it for Southern Hills? Bragging rights, for sure, but also maybe a big headache for members who pay a $50,000 start-up fee and $600 or so monthly -- according to one member -- only to lose their playing rights for weeks, deal with some traffic jams and watch thousands of non-members tramp around their creation.

Guess that $50Kcould be one reason you won't see me playing with Tiger.
