Having also attended in 1998, I was looking for- ward to this year’s tournament, and I was not disappointed. The grounds were beautiful, the fans were friendly and respectful, and the players, especially the winner, South Korean Na Yeon Choi, dis- played skill and an appreciation for the opportunity to play for the championship in Kohler. The hot weather, of course, dominated conversations the first two days of the tournament. I heard the word “brutal” more than once from fans and reporters, but the players, for the most part, seemed to take it in stride. “If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt,” Dean Martin once joked. Plenty of drinking occurred during play, but it wasn’t the kind Martin was referring to. Lexi Thompson, the 17-year-old Ameri- can prodigy whose average driving distance is the same as men’s world number one Luke Donald (274 yards), said she drank at least one bottle of water per hole, and other players echoed her. But Thompson was quick to add that she was from south Florida, was used to the heat, and played every day, no matter how hot. German golfer Sandra Gal, who finished third, added, “You know, I think we got a little preview last week in Arkansas. It was pretty similar, so I knew how to prepare and what to do out there. Obviously, it was quite draining, but if you keep hydrated it’s fine.” Observations from the 2012 U.S. Women’s Open Continued on page 2 By the end of the tournament it wasn’t the heat that caused the most trouble for the players—it was the course itself. Scores soared on Saturday and Sunday, with only two players finishing the tourna- ment under par. Lee Trevino once remarked, “Columbus went around the world in 1492. That isn't a lot of strokes when you consider the course.” Columbus would’ve had his work cut out for him at Black- wolf Run. Poor Michelle Wie began the weekend in second place, four under par and full of hope. She faded quickly, however, ending the tournament tied for 35th place, ten shots over par. South Korean Jimin Kang described the challenges of the course well when she said, “Every single shot, every single hole I gotta like pay attention every single shot, because there’s no shot you can take, awe, just let me grab a driver and rip it and see what hap- pens. No. No. No.” Speaking of Wie, there was a buzz among the fans early Saturday prior to her appearance. A headline grabber since she burst onto the scene as a 13-year-old, the slender six-foot-one-inch tall player from Hawaii always attracts attention. “That’s what I want to see,” said one fan walking toward the first tee, “how tall she is.” By Sunday Wie hadn’t lost any of her height, but the buzz was gone anyway, as she had fallen well off the leader board. Wie wasn’t the only one who had problems. After a wayward tee shot on 11, I overheard 2007 Open champ Cristie Kerr’s frustration boil over as she barked, “Dang it! What are you doing?!” (I hadn’t been doing anything—just watch- ing, honest.) Some players though, US. Women’s Open winner Na Yeon Choi.

WisDOT detailsHighway 23 andCounty Road Y projectBy Kevin Struck

Staff from the Wisconsin De-partment of Transportation’sNortheast Region hosted an infor-mation meeting at the Kohler Vil-lage Hall on June 26 to providedetails about road work that willclose parts of the State Highway23 and County Road Y inter-change for several months in early2014. Comments from the publicwere also solicited. The improve-ments are being proposed to im-prove driver safety, as well aspavement and structure conditions.

Although the time line couldchange, work is slated to begin inMarch of 2014 and take fourmonths, according to WisDOTproject manager Paul Brauer.Under the current plan, the twooff-ramps will be shut down andworked on for two months, andthen the same procedure will befollowed for the two on-ramps. Atleast one lane in each direction onCounty Road Y and Highway 23will remain open during both shutdowns. Access to nearby proper-ties will be maintained during theroad work. WisDOT hopes to keepthe Old Plank Road Trail open asa paved surface where it crosses

County Road Y. However, forshort periods when a paved sur-face becomes too difficult to ac-commodate, the trail will at leastbe accessible as a gravel surface.

WisDOT intends to replace thedeteriorating pavement on all fourof the interchange ramps and willreplace the pavement on CountyRoad Y from 120 feet south of theOld Plank Road Trail to 300 feetnorth of the westbound Highway23 ramp terminal intersection. Theproject includes a bridge deckoverlay and repainting of the steelon the County Road Y structureover Highway 23.

There will be two designchanges as well: 1) the free flowlane merging southbound ontoCounty Road Y from the west-bound Highway 23 off-ramp willbe reconstructed as a standard in-tersection approach to improvedriver vision and safety, and 2) anexclusive right turn lane will beadded from northbound CountyRoad Y to the Highway 23 west-bound on-ramp.

The improvements resultingfrom the reconstruction and recon-ditioning are expected to last about20 years.

U.S. Women’s Open, continuedtook what little consolation theycould. Although she was a dismal10 over for the day, amateurEmma Talley smiled broadly andpatted her caddy on the back aftershe birdied the 12th hole.

After the tournament was over,I had time to reflect on the differ-ences between the 1998 and 2012events. One obvious differencewas the impact of technology. In1998 none of the players had Face-book pages and no one was tweet-ing updates from the course. Infact, your cell phone—if you hadone—had to stay in the car in

1998. This year, in a first for theUSGA, cell phones were allowedif they were kept on vibrate.

Members of the media couldleave their pencils behind theirears at this year’s tournament, be-cause a large number of interviewswere transcribed and emailed di-rectly to their inboxes. That wouldhave been an unknown luxury in1998.

Halfway through the tourna-ment my uncle in Florida textedme that he was watching on televi-sion and the course looked beauti-ful. I’m sure the course was

beautiful in 1998 too, but I doubtwhether my uncle was watchingthe tournament on a large HD TVlike he was this year.

Oddly enough, the leaderboardsscattered throughout the courseseemed to be the one componentthat had avoided technology’s in-fluence. It was almost humorous tosee the volunteer marshals scram-bling by hand for the right numbersand letters to manually keep theboards up to date.

Another difference, post 9/11,was, unfortunately, the emphasisthat had to be placed on security.There were no major incidents,however, so law enforcement offi-cials are to be commended for theirefforts.

Finally, anyone could see therewas a difference in the players.Today’s players are younger, inbetter shape, and more diverse intheir origins. Se Ri Pak’s victory in1998 inspired an entire generationof Asian players, including 2012champion Na Yeon Choi, whowatched the 1998 event on televi-sion as a nine-year-old and madeup her mind she was going to be agolfer. Looks like that decisionworked out pretty well for her.

ReBike is in need of bicycle do-nations! Since the spring of 2010,Sheboygan County’s ReBike pro-gram has provided over 400 do-nated bicycles to area residents inneed.

The ReBike initiative, which isentirely operated by a group ofdedicated volunteers, is one of thestate’s first formal earn-a-bike pro-grams. Residents from SheboyganCounty in need of basic transporta-tion are invited to visit the base-

ment of Paradigm Coffee & Musicon Wednesday evenings between5:30-7:30 p.m. Once they aremade aware of the rules re-quired for ReBike ses-sions, they are guided intheir search for an ap-propriate bike to fit theirneeds. Following the selectionprocess, the ReBike participantworks with volunteers for approx-imately three hours to make thebike ready for road use. This is ac-

complished by working together toperform any necessary repairs,

replacements, or adjustments.The volunteers are skilled in

bicycle repair, so no experi-ence is necessary from theparticipant. The only skill

needed is the willingnessto learn how to work on a bicyclethat, once ready, is free for recipi-ents to take home as their own.

Over the past two years, bicy-cles have been donated from indi-

viduals around the County, whileWolf’s Cycle and Fitness, Sheboy-gan Bicycle Company, and Terry’sBike Shop have supported ReBikeby providing parts or assistance.The Sheriff’s Department and Cityof Sheboygan Police Departmenthave also supplied unclaimed bi-cycles from their inventories.However, because of the over-whelming success of ReBike, theprogram is always in need of bicy-cle donations. Summer is busier

than ever for ReBike, and it is alsoa great time to clean out the garageof unwanted or unused bicycles.Donations can be brought to Para-digm Coffee & Music, located at1202 N 8th St. in Sheboygan, be-tween 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednes-day evenings. For moreinformation on donating a bicycleor volunteering, contact [email protected] or(920) 459-3062.
