Well, let me tell you, this US Open thing, it’s a big deal, I hear. They say it’s coming to Wisconsin. Or maybe it was already here? My memory ain’t what it used to be. But I hear folks talkin’ about it all the time. Big golf thing, you know? Lots of fancy folks come around for it.
They got these fellas, they hit a little white ball all over the place. And they get paid good money for it, too! Can you believe that? Back in my day, we worked hard for our money. Didn’t go chasin’ no little ball around. But times change, I reckon.
This US Open in Wisconsin, they say it’s gonna be at this fancy place. Oak…something. Oakmont? Yeah, that’s it. Some fancy country club. I seen pictures. Green grass everywhere. Not a weed in sight. Must take a whole army to keep it lookin’ like that.
- They say it’s gonna be in 2025.
- That’s next year, right? Or the year after?
- June, I think they said.
- June 12-15, yeah that sounds right.
- Lots of people gonna be there.
I heard you gotta get tickets to see this golf thing. And they ain’t cheap, neither. But I guess if you like watchin’ them fellas hit that ball, it’s worth it. Me, I’d rather sit on my porch and watch the birds. But that’s just me. And there is this US Open Golf Championship, it seems very important.
This Oakmont Country Club, they say it’s hosted this thing before. A bunch of times. More than any other place, I hear. Must be somethin’ special about it. Maybe the grass is greener there. Or maybe they just got more money to throw around.
And they call this place is in Pennsylvania. What the hell, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, who cares? They are all far away. I ain’t never been to no golf championship. Don’t rightly know if I want to, either. Sounds like a lot of fuss for somethin’ I don’t understand.
They got all these rules, too. Gotta hit the ball this way, gotta stand that way. It’s all very confusin’. I’d rather just watch the cows graze. They don’t need no rules. Just eat and sleep. That’s the life.
But this US Open, it’s a big deal, I guess. People come from all over to see it. And it brings in a lot of money, they say. Good for the towns, I suppose. Keeps the businesses goin’. And folks need jobs, that’s for sure.
I seen some folks throwin’ parties for this US Open thing. Watchin’ it on the TV. They get all excited when someone hits a good shot. I don’t get it, but it makes them happy, so that’s somethin’. They call it US Open Watch Party, it’s kind of a new thing.
This whole golf thing, it’s a mystery to me. But it’s a big part of some folks’ lives. And I guess that’s all that matters. If it makes ’em happy, then good for them. Me, I’ll just stick to my garden and my chickens. They don’t need no US Open to make ’em happy. Just some sunshine and some good dirt.
So, this US Open in Wisconsin…or wherever it is…it’s comin’ up soon. 2025, they say. If you like that sort of thing, you better get your tickets. I hear they go fast. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll turn on the TV and see what all the fuss is about. But don’t hold your breath. I might just take a nap instead.
They have this group, the United States Golf Association, they are like the big shots of this whole thing, I hear. They set the rules, they run the show. Big wigs, I reckon. They’re the ones who decided to bring this US Open to, well, wherever they decided to bring it. They even has a US Women’s Open, I know a little bit about it.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t have all this fancy stuff. We had baseball. And we played it in a field, not some fancy stadium. And it was just as much fun. Maybe even more. ‘Cause we didn’t have to worry about no tickets or no fancy clothes. Just good, clean fun.
But like I said, times change. And I guess this US Open is just a sign of the times. People like their fancy things. And there’s nothin’ wrong with that, I suppose. As long as they’re happy. That’s all that really matters in the end, ain’t it? Happiness. And maybe a little bit of sunshine. And a good piece of pie. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
