Golf in Prime Time

Let's start by saying this, Ray & I think golf should only be on our television as a precursor to a good nap. This brings us to last Sunday. Due to the 4 hour time difference between Atlantic Canada and lovely San Diego, we had prime time golf. And thanks to Tiger, the two of us were absolutely riveted to the drama at Torrey Pines! Literally, we came off the couch more than once with Tiger-like fist pumps of our own!! We were so into this golf tournament that Ray recorded the playoff round on Monday...we avoided all media contact so we could be surprised when we watched...this is where it gets dicey.

This was the US OPEN...that's United States for those scoring at home. Well, we recorded on TSN (Canada's ESPN & in Ray's opinion it far exceeds ESPN)...it seems that the US Open was not the #1 viewing item on the world's agenda...you see, at about the 10th hole of the playoff TSN cut in to inform us that they would be taking us to EURO 2008 for today's tournament action in SOCCER!!! WHAT?!?!?! After not viewing any mediums all afternoon so we didn't know the outcome...BOOM...we get shut out from the dramatic sudden death conclusion of the US OPEN!!! We ended up catching the ending on youtube...another indicator that we are not in the good ole USA....
