As I watched The Open at St. Andrew's yesterday, yes I watch golf, the story lines during the broadcast were the wind suspending play, Tiger's day out on the golf course and the scores after the suspension. Tom Watson started coming up the finishing holes, Tom Watson is an older player that is still one of the best in the game.
As Tom finished up what was probably his last time playing St. Andrew's it was a very sentimental moment for the fans who were lucky enough to watch one of the greats finish up his last round at the birthplace of golf. I'll admit that I did have a tear in my eye and a smile on my face as Watson walked across the Swilcan bridge coming up 18. He stopped, kissed the bridge's railing, and then stood on the bridge for a picturesque moment for the fans and press. The best part of the whole experience for me was what happened next. Tom walks up to his second shot and hits a beautiful chip shot that just missed falling in the cup for a final shot, final round, Eagle. That alone would have been amazing. . . . . . .
I love the game of golf, love playing it, love watching golf on TV and the best part of it is the history and lore that surround the game of golf.
