Well the days are getting a little longer, it is just a bit brighter each morning and tine catalogs have gone out to our customers. To me it sounds like spring! Even though the current long term forecast does not show the jump in the temps, the normal buzz about the the start of the season is building. Last years early start had a positive impact on clubs bottom lines. Seems like most clubs that have not spent capital in the last few years have at least one new piece of equipment in the works.
Before you know it we will be in June and the US Open will be here in Philadelphia at Merion GC. I would equate getting tickets to finding a golden ticket to the Willy Wonka Factory! Luckily or unluckily, I live a few blocks away. If you have ever been to the area you know how congested it is going to be. There will be many of the main roads closed for the week too.
So it will be an interesting week and not just the golf....
Here is a link to some great pictures of Merion GC.
