After the recent Major Championship meltdowns, we spent last week gearing up and mentally preparing for The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. Now in our eleventh week we can easily access our "blogging zone" and we're ready to blog on with a fury.

Not many people, not even Tiger, are familiar with Royal Liverpool. To get a better feel for what the best golfers in the world will face, have a look at the detailed depictions in the FilmLoop above.

Last week on the blog we focused on channeling the spirit of Mike Strantz, Monterey Peninsula CC, and gourmet golf. Surrounded by positive ions and hectic reality, we felt it necessary to realign ourselves with the organic, raw, and pure aspects on which this game was built; the essence of The Open Championship. As Jay Flemma puts it, push "away from over-marketing and price gouging, worthless, meaningless superlatives and self-aggrandizing billionaire developers." It didn't hurt that we've been donning a Trion:Z. Its minus ions and magnetic therapy have been flowing through our blood stream, bringing us into balance (thanks Trion:Z).

As you can tell, we're excited and ready for this week's tournament.

Stay tuned and keep that bag fresh.
