Talking Golf With The Golf Guy-Season 4 Episode 13 Thursday At The Open-Monterey Jack Cheese

The 119th United States Open in underway and the leaderboard is crowded.

Ricky Fowler is the outright leader at five-under par.

Four players are at four-under and seven are at minus-three.

The straight-laced United States Golf Association has taken some heat in recent years with their set-up of Open Courses and players have complained about the speed of the greens, rough and narrow fairways.

It looks like the powers-that-be have softened the Pebble Beach course and the players are taking advantage.

I’m absolutely certain the USGA will see all those red figures and tighten the golf course back up. Stay tuned and we will see.

The history of the Monterey Peninsula is rich and deep. It has been a sought out destination for hundreds of years going back to the early Spanish explorers and continues to be, even to this day, one of the most iconic, visited, photographed and popular tourist attractions in all of California.

The Monterey Brand is also in demand and commands attention for everything from golf to cheese.

I have posted a new podcast on the history of Monterey Jack Cheese along with the latest leaderboard.

Listen now.
