When the Buick event sets up camp at the Warwick Hills golf course in Grand Blanc and the f1eid includes Eldrick (Tiger) Woods, John Daly. eventual winner Vijay Singh and defending cham- pion Jim Furyk. Michigan golf fans simply packed the place. And I mean parked. I don't know what they drew for Saturday's third-round action, hut I'd hazard a guess it was somewhere in the 40.000-plus range. And then much later in the clubhouse. there had to be at least 20.000 ahead of me in the line for some liq- uid refreshments of the JM'. Red variety.

It's been a lot ofyears now since I've actually gone out and walked 18 holes, watch- ing a particular player or group. The last two were probably Dave Wettlaufer and Ian Leggau at different Canadian Opens. Like most of my writing mates, I discovered early that you actually see more golf from simply watching the TV in the press room. Since I wasn't on official assignment for the 2004 Buick. I didn'l have press credentials and was content to watch players on the two ning would have. it was a big step for me. I didrit race properly and I learned the only way to succeed inter- natiunally was to race my own race and not worry about the others," "I didn't feel that much pressure when I was trying to meet the standard. because I knew from my training that l ww; going to do it.

I wrote how I had watched my first big-league game in this same US. city across the river from Wind- son Now the ball game is u different matter. You sit down at u ball gaunt and there is very little strenuous activity. uther than jumping up and throwing your anus in the air when the "wave" rolls around the park. lt was simply an awe- some day wealherwise and a balmy night to watch baseball. And more than 40,000 fans â€" including four die-hard White Sox fans behind us __ enjoyed the two American League teams decked out in their vintage, old uniforms. lt was in a classic old park called Briggs Stadium and it was nearly 60 years ago. Eventually it became 'I'iger Stadium and still sits near thc now Comerica facility in downtown Detroit. so it was kind of neat m be seeing the Tigers And competing so early in the Olympics, which start Aug. 13 and go until Aug. 29, Beavers will also miss the opening ceremonies, “We still have another week after were done while the games are still going on In go sightseeing and we other events," said Beavers.
