RAIN OUT!

An auspicous start for the Golf Nuts 2009 U.S. Open Challenge as Round #1 was suspened for rain (understatement) but begins again today in just 20 minutes. Our turnout for the Challenge was very good and extremely interesting. EVERY contestant picked TIGER WOODS on their team...not a big surprise but still unusual. Of course the rain on Long Island will make this a pretty even competition with the conditions leveling the playing field. Watch the Head Nut's Blog all weekend for the latest developments at Bethpage and in the 2009 Golf Nuts U.S. Open Challenge!
