More Adventures in the Life of Nick! US OPEN 2008!

Once again Nick gets another experience of a lifetime, Tickets to the U.S. Open in San Diego California! Nick flew out to SD last Friday with one of his BF'S Nate Parry to attend the 2008 U.S Open on Saturday and Sunday. He got to watch the man below, Tiger Woods, and many others like Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garica, Ernie Els.... Battle it out on the golf course! Unfortunately for us they don't allow cell phones or camera's at the open so these are best pictures I could find to give you a taste of what he experienced, especially if you didn't watch it on TV. 

The tournament was held at Torrey Pines on their south golf course. Nick said it was unbelievable how many people were there. He said when Tiger made his putt for birdie on 18 to take it to a play off the cheering was louder than any time he's ever been at the Energy Solutions Arena for a Jazz Game or for any sporting event he's been to for that matter. He also was shocked at how quite they could all be when a player was teeing off! 

 Seeing Tiger play in real life was unreal. He is not one to get star struck at all but he said when he saw Tiger for the first time he got butterflies in his stomach. He was watching the greatest golfer alive play right before his eyes. It was fun hearing him talk about this experience. I made him promise to take me to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in two years or maybe Beth Page Black in NY next year. Either way I'm there and my eyes will be on Adam Scott ! Although he's an Aussie he sure is nice on the eyes and that accent is a killer!
