The US Open teed off from Merion Golf Club this morning with the players taking on an incredibly unique golf course far as US Open golf course standards go. However, the uniqueness of Merion is not unlike the unique journey of a career in sports. The pros may be teeing off for one of the PGA Tour's four majors, Tiger Woods for his 15th, but we are just teeing off on life in the sports industry. Merion is playing just under 7,000 yards, 6,996 yards this week to be exact, the first US Open under the 7,000 yard mark since 2004. The course, just like your career, is not without its twists and turns, zigs and zags, uphills and downhills.
