Hello my golfing friends,

I don't know about you, but I find golf frustrating at the best of times. How humiliating must it have been for the top players in the world to give it all they've got and struggle to break 80 around Shinnecock Hills at the weekend. Very. Still, the 104th U.S. Open managed to produce its usual share of drama and you can read my take on events in this week's fully illustrated PGA Report. This week's Player Profile gives a potted history of the career of the winner, Retief Goosen. And don't forget to check out our weekly cartoon Strip "Off the Cart Path" which illustrates how some of the players might have felt like reacting if there had been water hazards on the course to add to their problems.

That's about it for now. Don't forget, if there is anything you would like us to add to Golfing Weekly, or if you have any comments you would like to make, just drop us a line. This is your magazine and we want you to enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy putting it together.

All the best,
