So, is anyone in the US getting up early enough to watch the Open Championship?

Who all is fanatical enough to watch live coverage on DirecTV or TNT, starting in a few hours? Are you sleeping and then getting up, or are you pulling an all nighter? Or do you just not think it's worth it??

I'm lucky enough to be working from home tomorrow, so I may sleep for a few hours, then get up and watch it while I work, then maybe take a nap later on...

Wanna know what's crazy about it?? I'll get 10x more done from home, while watching the tournament, than I'd ever get done at the office. No interruptions!

I heard on the PGA Tour Network on XM/Sirius that none of the coverage will be in HD. Has anyone else heard that?

I probably would get more done at work normally, but home is definitely more productive at the moment. Our company got acquired a little under a year ago and a LOT of employment and operations changes have been made. There isn't much morale or desire to perform around the office; so we goof off much more than we really should. I probably spend 2 hours every day playing basketball with a little plush ball and a plastic hoop we taped up to the wall, lol...

Wow, that early??

Hang on, something's not right... I'm sitting here thinking that DirecTV would be broadcasting live from the first shot. I went to DTV's online guide yesterday, and I could have sworn I saw coverage beginning at like 4 AM Eastern/ 5 AM Central. Apparently, I saw it wrong because it looks like both DTV and TNT start their coverage at 6 AM Central....

I was just looking at tnt and their coverage starts at 4am pacific time. Which is exactly the time I'll be waking up tomorrow. The open championship iphone app will help me out a bunch though.

I'd love to, but I don't get TNT. I get NBC, CBS, some channel that shows classics, and Telemundo. If I got TNT, I'd be up at 4 to watch.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
