Skipping the PGA
I’m not going to the PGA this week, and I hope that’s OK with you readers. I know it’s OK with the golf world.
Anyone who golfs in his Converses and who thinks the funnest part of golf is driving the cart and putting out, well, that person doesn’t exactly fit in on America’s most hallowed golf clubs.
Besides, our golf coverage is in the capable hands of Jenni Carlson and John Rohde. Jenni played golf in high school, at the links powerhouse Clay Center, Kan., and Rohde has forgotten more golf than I ever knew.
I’m skipping Tulsa because of a family situation and it’s best if I stay close to home. The Oklahoman is a great place to work; the PGA is one of the biggest events to hit our state in a long time, but my bosses put my welfare above our coverage, and I’m eternally grateful.

Hi Berry, 08/11/07
Look forward to your columns during the football season,this should be an exciting one for sure.
I am trying to handicap the OSU-Georgia game now,this may be the biggest game ever played for OSU to gain national attention.
Hard to get a bead on Georgia right now,I know OSU will be formitable on offense and the defense will be the question,I hear that defense wil be vastly improved under new coordinator,if that happens watch out for OSU barring injuries and off the field problems and who knows about that anymore.
Have a great day,Don
Remember me and my ardent comments on the U.S. Open. I sent you an email regarding coverage of the PGA.
I hope your family situation is resolved or evolves to the good. We all have situations that require our utmost attention. Best wishes to you and your family.
