i left my heart...

In San Francisco's Harding Park.

So I'm watching some of the golf coverage on tv and caught several commentaries about how 100% of the players love this course, or how great SF is as a host, blase blase. So now I'm impressed by all the hoopla. And I even see good ol' ParkMerced in the background on some of the footage.

(A few years ago, I thought SF was a loser town, because within a couple of weeks, we lost the national bid to host the 2012 Olympics to NYC, and then the Giants lost the World Series because in my mind, Russ Ortiz sabotaged one of the games...letting the other team hit all his pitches)

It's kinda strange though, some parts of the course look a little "ghetto" with brown patches, overgrown grass on the "green;" you can definitely tell that it's a public golf course versus a private country club one. It also seems like this course goes on forever and ever on tv. It looks real small whenever I pass by it.

It all makes sense now, this event was the reason for all that road construction a few months back, causing lots of traffic nightmares on Lake Merced Blvd., to make the surrounding area look pretty for tv.

Oh haha, I guess the overgrown grass is called the "rough" and they're there for a reason; Tiger just hit his ball into the "rough." Hey, I said I don't follow golf.
