US Open Mobile Apps Now Available

You can read about them here. Just fooling around with the US Open app, it's essentially the same as the excellent IBM-crafted Masters phone app.

There is also a Twitter page for those who like getting their news that way. Hopefully the plugs for "tickets available" will end soon.

And if you haven't signed up for the USGA's Architecture Archive, you're missing out on a couple of new Bethpage aerials posted. Actually, the course looks very similar today. But it is fun to see the nuanced strategy of the old 18th hole. It wouldn't matter much in today's game, then again, neither does the current hole.
