US Golf Open at Bethesda, Maryland


Had a great time at the golf. Rory McIlroy an all the way winner. Jason Day runner up. Fantastic. Congessional a beautiful course with excellent facilities. Met some nice people and had seats saved for us during the final round. Sat in the grandstand overlooking both the 18th green with the 10th green in the background.
Stayed at The Bolger Conference Centre which ran shuttles to and from the golf course about 10 minutes away.
Caught a greyhound bus back to New York that took about an hour longer than it should have due to peak hour traffic but arrived back in time to go the first Bryant Park Summer Film session, an outdoor venue. Movie was “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, still a great movie after all these years. Would have been a crowd of about 10,000. Great atmosphere. Lots of cheering for the good guys.
Went to Lincoln Centre Tuesday evening to see an American Ballet Theatre production of “Cinderella” at The Metropolitan Opera. Enjoyable but not outstanding.
Only two days now before we fly to London. Have left our excess luggage at the apartment and will travel light for the next few weeks. Will move out of Harvard Club tomorrow and stay at a hotel close to the airport for our early departure on Friday.
