US Open Golf at Chambers Bay WA
Permalink  
 


It will be interesting to see how many trains go by

during each day of TV coverage at Chambers Bay

as the joint UP/BNSF Seattle-Portland double track

mainline is western boundry line for the golf course.

There maybe a couple holes right next to the tracks and

this is a busy mainline with as many as 40-50 freights and

a bunch of Amtrak trains. Read somewhere where the

railroad police will be actively protecting this stretch of

track. Just like the Mariners at Safeco Field with the

trains running behind the stadium, I might be more interested

in golf with trains in the background all day. Go Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods is in a funk and misses the cut after shooting
an 80 and a 76. Seems they only want to show passing
trains during a "lead-in" to a commercial break but I havent
seen one during play so far. Know they aint holding trains
back as its a busy piece of track. So far the train traffic past
the golf course has no complaints. The fucking helicopter
hovering over this tournement needs to be grounded as there
is not a more annoying noise when trying to concentrate than
a hovering noisy helicopter.

"No rule G" watching golf on TV. What I thought was helicopters
was the Goodyear Blimp making that noise. I've heard blimps
before passing over my house during some airshow so it has
a very distinctive "noise". Pretty sure since every golf
tournament has a blimp flying around that the players are
used to it's noise. Saw many more passing trains on the
Sat-Sun coverage. Chambers Bay has 4-holes scrunched
up next to the tracks so how cool is that. Remember hearing
several trains passing with a shitload of flatspots. Dont think
any oil trains passing got on TV. A golf course with a railroad
sideshow.

Is there a difference between faithful and manditory?
Snippy will have time after his career to fully indulge
once again. By that time his state will have legal pot
available at a corner store. But will Snippy take
advantage of the availabilty at the store or maybe
remember friends with "black market weed" from
the past. Dont have to answer Snippy. For all I know
you are way past needing to get high and I'm just making
things worse by the suggestion.
