You, me - we all have been in a bunker or two in our lifetime. The 4th hole bunker at Royal St. George's is like no other I have seen. This bunker reminds us that no matter how deeply in trouble you maybe, on the golf course or in life, there is a way out and never give up.
We walked around the course on Friday and then settled in at the 18th hole green. We sat in the bleachers and there waited for each pair to arrive. Unless you are a diehard fan of a particular golfer and need to follow hole by hole, waiting for the golfers to come to you, is, in my opinion, a better plan. Eventually they all arive. At the 18th hole with good binoculars one can see the drive and with the naked eye the second shot and the green. I recommend that spot, especially if you are unfamiliar with the course.
We saw many of those who were to survive the day - Darren Clarke, Phil Mickelson, Y.E. Yang, Trevor Immelman, Tom Watson, Davis Love III, Bernhard Langer, Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, Louis Oosthuizen and many more.
It was a fabulous sunny warm day and the red skin was a small price to pay for a great day of golf.
Saturday (today) was out last day in the city proper.We roamed about Oxford Street, on a very rainy Saturday, and ended the day with the evening show of Jersey Boys at the Prince Edward Theatre. The production is one of, if not, the best musicals I have seen. A production that is about the music - no fanfare, costuming, elaborate sets - thoroughly entertaining and strongly recommended. In addition to the listening pleasure you learn of the many songs written by Bob Gauido, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Gaudio .
Tomorrow we are back to the final round of the Open. We have our wellingtons and rainwwear ready as the forecast is much like today - rain and wind.
Here are the final pairings,
