re: ~ 113th United States Open Championship ~ Justin Rose Wins First Major

Wow, I can vaguely remember back to '80 & '81. I was still on active duty in the Air Force. What were you doing at the OTC in the early '80s? When I came back from Turkey in '82 I got an assignment to the Chidlaw Bldg which as you know was just up Union Blvd from the OTC.

ETA: I didn't realize I was talking to two, uh, more experienced posters. Do you guys remember Johnny Miller's 63? If not, you'll hear about it this week

Johnny's 6 months older than me so I remember his final round 63 at Oakmont.

To be honest, I doubt that Johnny will discuss it much. Dan Hicks on the other hand might mention it once or twice.

Poor Dan, had a tough year last year with that BBq pit and all.

I played a funny sport called Team Handball in college...We went to the Natl Tourney there 2 years in a row...I don't remember much about the place...we drank a LOT of Coors then...Most of the games were at 2 high school gyms but we all stayed in the dorms at OTC...

I'm only 4 or 5 years older than you. 34.

I know, I was talking about these other geezers. And yes, 5 years unless we get into the whole half years deal.

Couple weekends ago at my alumni softball tournament one of the girls asked my buddy " how old is your little boy?" I spit out half a miller lite when he came back with "31 months"

Oh, I'm familiar with team handall. The cadets played it as an intramural sport when I was at the Academy in the '70s. If you played at high schools, I suspect it was probably Wasson & Mitchell?

I think it torched her scalp too, and face. She recovered well, you're right. But still, that would be rough to have happen to your wife.


Why is she lighting the pit?
