Howling winds freeze play at The Open
We're up early all weekend to watch the British Open because this year it's at St. Andrews, the Home of Golf. Today officials were forced to suspend play because of the 40 mph winds, which made placing a ball on a green to putt it impossible. Stan and his pals experienced some of those winds when playing there last year, but not to that extent. Above, Johnny "Little Stick" Schatz, Tim Borem and Kevin O'Laughlin looked at the snap in the flag during a bracing wind.
