Oh to be a subscriber. Received my June 25 Golfweek in the mail today. Can’t wait to catch up on the U.S. Open! And I'm getting SI Golf Plus again after the computer decided to switch me over to the Adventure section. You know how I love the X Games. Who said the Internet will never replace print?

The Walker Cup squad was announced, which is a reminder that we’re just three weeks away from getting to see Chicago Golf Club. Michael Putnam becomes the second Pepperdine player to make it. I know you’re excited. The big news is that Captain Bob Lewis selected no grumpy mid-Amateurs!

Ran Morrissett’s course profile should get you in the mood for the Senior British Open at Aberdeen. PGATOUR.com notes that Greg Norman will be making his Champions Tour debut there.

Mark Soltau has some more comments from Tiger about the final round, and refers to Hank Haney as his swing coach. I think it's safe to say we no longer have to hear references to Haney as Tiger's "friend." There’s also an AP story on how Hank Haney has been validated.

Golfweek's Martin Kaufman isn't very high on the TNT telecasts and makes some good points, while Brad Klein plays yang to Kaufman's yin and says he enjoyed it despite the flaws, because after all it was the Old Course. So they're both right! Golfobserver's "Man from London" shares his Open thoughts.

The 2007 (and beyond) PGA Tour schedule is shaping up. Sounds like some big events might move to the fall while an official post season swing is relegated to The Golf Channel. And finally, don't miss John Huggan's excellent profile of Peter Thomson in Golf World.
