The Michelson family has our best wishes and prayers as we go into the US Open 2009.

I really enjoy the commentators that mentioned how the fans in New York always come out with a fanatical approach to supporting all the golfers, and how golfers enjoy the straight forwardness that you seem to only get from a New Yorker!

Watching the Golf Channel and seeing past Bethpage US Open highlights from 2002, and inside stories make for a adrenaline filled four day to come.

A US Open at a Munie…who would of ever thought.

The fact is…everyone loves it period.

Everyone Enjoy!  Factoid: 300,000 golfers a year play at the Bethpage Park Golf Courses. Of those many sleep in their cars over night to play the world famous Bethpage Black Course.

Bethpage State Park was developed from an estate owned by the Yoakum family and other properties. The Yoakum family leased their estate to the Lenox Hills Corporation which subsequently used the property to build the Lenox Hills Country Club. In the early 1930s, the Bethpage Park Authority purchased the Lenox Hills Country Club and other adjacent properties to build what we now know as Bethpage State Park. Famed golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast was hired to design and oversee construction of three new golf courses (Black, Red and Blue) as well as modify the Lenox Hills Course which became the Green Course. Due to the increased demand for golf, the Yellow Course designed by Alfred Tull was opened in 1958. Approximately 300,000 rounds are played annually on the five courses at Bethpage, all of which start from the Clubhouse area.
