Will Tiger Woods win at Torrey Pines?

It's good to see Tiger back... and, after a rusty round on Thursday at the U.S. Open, he's back in the hunt for Sunday. That's pretty amazing after knee surgery and a 6-week layoff! As an avid NHL Hockey fan, I was amused by Tiger's comment a couple weeks ago that nobody watches hockey on TV anymore. While Detroit during the Stanley Cup finals, he was asked if he is pulling for the Detroit Red Wings or the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Setting political correctness aside, the NHL fired back pointing out that national ratings for the finals on NBC set a new record this year while the ratings for PGA Golf are in the toilet - unless Tiger is playing. Ratings during his layoff after surgery were abysmal. Showing his political prowess, Tiger explained that he loves to attend NHL games - he just doesn't like watching on TV. (Right!)

After the U.S. Open is over could it be your turn to play Torrey Pines? One of our most popular golf vacation packages at Gateway Golf Vacations consists of 3 rounds at Torrey Pines and 3 nights lodging at the Sonoran Suites at Torry Ridge.

Before I get back to work, I want to reiterate the "tip" I had in the last post: Costco stores are now selling discount certificates for greens fees at 1,200 courses around the country. You get two $50 certificates for $75. Look at the course listings at teetime.com
