Walking in Memphis

The home of Graceland and for one week a year, the home of the Stanford St. Jude Championship. A tune-up week for many before they move on to the US Open next week. What is a surprisingly decent field for this otherwise mediocre stop on Tour promises to be a halfway decent tournament. That is if the 90+ degree temperatures and the incredibly high humidity doesn't deter many. The big benefit for us is a week off next week as NBC broadcasts the US Open. Coming off of last week's Memorial Tournament, we could use a low-key week. It was a great tournament with extended broadcast hours. Saturday, due to an unforeseen rain-delay, we were on the air for a total of almost 8 1/2 hours. Now that is a long day. Luckily it was only 6 hours on the air on Sunday. Not your typical week, but it really drains on you.
