Hi, I’m Robby. Being a friend of Matt’s, I was able to fandangle my way to write for his blog. If you like my stuff, go to my movie blog: mnoss.wordpress.com. Sometimes Matt writes there as well. If I let him…
But, I have some exciting news today; exciting if you like golf. The PGA has decided to have the 2015 US Open in Tacoma’s new Chambers Bay golf course. Yeah, that classic golf course that everyone and their father has played that opened up last year. Wait a sec: Tacoma, last year? At least by 2015, the citizens of Tacoma get rid of the famous “Aroma of Tacoma.” We don’t need to see Tiger Woods barfing on the 7th tee.
As with anything that has a national spotlight that takes place here in the North West (besides the fact that New Yorkers believe that we’re in Canada), it’s a municipal golf course. It’s public? Nice, looks like Matt and I are going to have to play on it to see how it goes. Let me just go to their website and schedule a tee time…
$171 for 18 holes? AND $35 to bring Jeeves to hold my bags as my caddy? You’ve got to be kidding. This is Tacoma, not Pebble Beach. Oh, if we live in Pierce County, we get a discount. Of course, I would expect a discount if I lived in that county. I’d call it smell tax.
But seriously, the course looks very nice; like it belongs in Hawaii. Luckily, it looks like from all of the pics, it doesn’t seem like you can see the city from the course. So it’s got that going for it, which is nice.

$181 is frickin crazy! I’ll have to check out that Chambers Bay site a bit more
