After six weeks, Gourmet Golfwrx is comfortably settled in the blogosphere and the golf season. It's June and we're gearing up for a great U.S. Open Championship. Here's a look at last week's news.

A week ago today, Gourmet Golfwrx stopped by Lake Merced Golf Club to give you a peak behind the Gates of Lake Merced and a preview of U.S. Open talent. We brought back some interesting and contrasting  observations of Spencer Levin and Shiwan Kim.

Also related to the U.S. Open, Steve Elkington doesn't feel like playing by the rules, refuses to change his shoes, and withdraws from the Houston sectional qualifier. 

In case you were wondering what rich guys do with old golf carts, Michael Douglas has generously autographed and donated a highly modified golf cart to the Motion Picture and Television Fund. Hurry up and place your bid. There's 3 more days left on the eBay auction and the price is already up to $12,100.

Another rich man, Phil Mickelson, has decided to pay $3.4 million for a chunk of time. It just happens that this chunk of time gives him the rights to a penthouse that overlooks The Old Course.

Stay tuned and keep that bag fresh.
