DON’T FRY THIS SUMMER: SENSIBLE SUN

So many people have a love affair with the sun.  It makes you feel good, look good.  Many people love the warmth of the sun.

For the first time since 1981, the U.S. Open returns this week to the famed East Course at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. This U.S. Open will mark the 18th time that Merion has hosted a USGA Championship, more than any other venue. While it has hosted several USGA events since its last Open, U.S. Amateur Championship in 2005 and the Walker Cup in 2009, it has been overlooked in recent years due to its length.

Playing at only 6,996 yards this week, Merion will be the first venue since Shinnecock Hills in 2004 to measure less than 7,000 yards. The short distance, coupled with the advancements in ball and club technology could prove to be no match for today’s current pros. Several inches of rain have drenched the…
