The first time it was announced that the US Open Golf Championship would be played at Bethpage's Black course, in Farmingdale, NY, I was truly excited. Being a native Long Islander, my three favorite courses were the Black, Green and Red Courses at Bethpage, which I had been playing every year since the early 1980's. The Black course, however, is truly a beast. Knowing that the best golfers in the world would be following in my footsteps (though probably not into the more wooded areas where I sometimes found myself), I had to see it up close and personal. Knowing tickets would be expensive, and probably very hard to come by, I figured I'd try the next best thing - volunteer. Since that first Open in 2002, I've also volunteered at the 2004 Open at Shinnecock Hills (NY), the 2006 Open at Winged Foot (NY) and the 2009 Open back at Bethpage Black.So if you love golf, and want to see the best in the world up close, here's how to do it.
