Blogging the Golf British Open

Tiger Woods after winning his last British Open

When it comes to golf not many people follow it and even less people like to watch it.  While I am one of the few ones in a small group who love to watch and play golf, this event catches my interest.  The British Open is one of the four major golf tournaments, in these majors every top golfer in the world plays in these four tournaments.  Each one of these four tournaments is by invitation only, which is why these tournaments are held higher than other tournaments throughout the course of the year.  What is different about the British Open is that it is the only major not held on American soil.  This is exactly why this golf tournament would benefit from a blog.  Since there is a six hour time difference, most players are half way done with their round by time people in the United States are waking up.  This brings up exactly what this blog would do for people if it were created.  Instead of turning on the television and wait for the broadcasters to show highlights of what they missed while they were sleeping, I would write about the highlights of the first nine holes.  This way fans would not have to wait and could read about what happened and an see updated leader board right away.  Other items I would blog about would be the weather that was effecting the play of the professionals and I would also follow some of the star players such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson.  This way if the person is not interested in looking at the whole field they could just scroll to the blog just about how Tiger Woods played.  This blog would not only convenient the crazy golf followers, but it would also cater to the fans wanting to follow the super stars of golf, given the time difference between the United States and Britain.
