After a 22 minute delay (snark sighting), CBS' coverage of the Saturday hijinks was pretty solid; not too much mugging for the cameras, and some solid golf from the celebrities. Bill Murray's approach shot on # 15 comes to mind...
The highlight/feature reel that they showed at 2:32 into the telecast was slick, and got me to thinking - does anyone know if they put together an annual highlights reel of this event? To show the action that does NOT make it to the television coverage? There is SO much going on, at SO many courses that I think it would be a great moneymaker if done right with a cool soundtrack...the courses are so pretty, and I'm pretty sure that all the amateurs would want a copy, and the golf junkies out there that want a souvenir to get their golf fix....(business opportunity, anyone???)
Congratulations to the amateurs who made the Sunday playoff, most notably Tom Dreesen, Teddy Forstmann (of Forstmann, Little & Co.), Peter Ueberroth, Harris Barton and Andy Garcia.
Seeing the amateurs play has inspired me to add a new section to TartanGolfGrips.com, which I am about to begin developing...
After a day filled with howling wind that closed out with a heavy rainshower, tomorrow's final round is rumored to be played in the sunshine....we'll be there from 9:00AM onwards, watching it on the PGATour.com "http://www.pgatour.com/livegolf/, which is VERY, VERY cool....
