Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I'm your host, Shane Bacon, and it's open week.

It is one of my favorite golf weeks of the year. I, of course, am not across the pond.

I've been busy with a lot of the USGA events was at the U.S. Women's Open. Last week,

Cord of all, amongst all that fun towards the end in the playoff. I wrote a piece for Fox Sports.com, if you haven't checked it out.

I just highlighted some things.

I kind of hope that the governing bodies, not just the USDA.

The USDA has been piled on a little bit this year, but it's not the USGA.

It's governing bodies as a whole who are trying their hardest to figure out a way to make this video stuff relevant, understandable, quick, part of the game.

And I wrote a lengthy piece that's up on the website just about my thoughts on it and some stuff I kind of hope is implemented at some point.

I hope they do it fairly

quickly because two in a row opens that we've seen have been, have dealt with issues of reviews

and issues with video. So if you haven't checked that out, go check it out and you can send your

comments in to us on Twitter. You can follow me at Shane Bacon. You follow the pod at the clubhouse pod. You can use

the hashtag Clubhouse SB if you have questions, comments. And you can send long emails. If you got a

point to make or you just want to have a conversation, shoot me an email the Clubhouse with

Shane Bacon at gmail.com. That's the best way to do that. I mentioned it and it's here, the Open

Championship. I have debated the British Open

versus Open Championship for so long every year you deal with this on social media. You get anybody

over in the UK and they say it's the Open, what's the British Open? What's the British Open?

And my point always is you call off the US Masters, you call it the US PGA over there.

But I mentioned this on Twitter this week and I give up.

I've given up the fight.
