***  THE 200 US OPEN STARTS TODAY

To help you enjoy the US Open at Olympia Fields Country Club in
Olympia Fields, Chicago, I found a number of website on the course,
the tournament and the district.

The official website - for scoring, history, players and course.

    http://usopen.com/

The course: (About 30 km south of Chicago)

    http://www.olympiafieldscc.com/
            You do have to look for the link to the course guide
            then click the hole numbers for a very good photo display

  AND for a great VR (virtual Reality) tour try:

    http://golfvr.com/tours/olympia_fields/tour.asp

       DONT MISS - This is superb if you have the computer and software 
       to handle it. 

       Just like being there . . . Requires some good computer grunt
       if you click on the "Full Screen Vr"

       You have to try it . . . sorry if your computer can not 
       handle the fancy stuff, you'll still get a great coverage.

And for the Olympia Fields Village:

greater number of points for pars, birfdies, and eagles. 

A similar system called "GeraldFord", widely used in charity
