My Memorial confession
Today kicks off The Memorial Tournament week here in my hometown, and I have a confession. Though I used to look forward to this week all winter long, I am no longer excited about having a great pro tournament in my backyard.
Having attended the event almost every year for a decade, the novelty has worn off. I no longer make sure I buy weekly patron badges, and I no longer plan my work schedule around the ideals days and times to attend. I feel as though I have already seen every type of shot made by every type of golfer on every hole, and I actually now have a slight preference for watching the event on TV from the comfort of my living room.
Perhaps when my kids get a little older and get into golf, I will have the joy of sharing the event with them. But, right now, I have become a bit of a Memorial Tournament scrooge. Is there something wrong with my golf-loving gene, or is this perhaps actually healthy?

Nice blog...I just started posting my own blog relating to golf and travel. I too had been a regular attendee of a LPGA event. I have to admit though that I learn something (or remember something I had forgotten) about my swing by watching the professionals. Last year I attended the US Open at Pinehurst. Besides being the best sports experience of my lifetime, I realized that I was not completing my turn - I've shaved about 5 strokes since then! My blog is teflonjeff.blogspot.com, if your interested. Thanks,
But what happens if Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els hit a miracle shot and/or shoot a 59! You'd be gutted that you "weren't there", even though it's a stones throw away!
Surely you have to go? You'll enjoy it once you're there and then wonder why you almost didn't go!
