It's Tuesday, and I am still worn out from all the drama - ups and downs - after the 5 days it took to deliver us the 2008 U.S. OPEN. And, I'm betting you are probably feeling just as spent.

I would love to hear your thoughts - good and bad - about what we have witnessed since last Thursday . . .  the golf play, the players, the shots, the makes/the misses that went into this year's championship.

You can  email me at golfbythecupful1405@verizon.net - I don't mind. I'll post your e-mails right here. Or, you can click on the 'add new comment' button below, if you're registered with HamptonRoads.com.

Here's some thoughts from different sports boards I've checked out, and what other golfers and fans are talking about - feel free to comment and elaborate on any/all of them:

• Did the field fold?
• Did the field actually hang pretty touch considering the OPEN course set up?
• Were you held captive by your TV for 5 days?
• Did you think Tiger stood a chance of winning after his knee surgery?
• Maybe you have had this type of orthoscopic (is that the word...) surgery - what was your experience with pain?
• Did you think Rocco Mediate's loose "I"m just having fun." temperament was the perfect opposite of Tiger's well-known focus?
• Did you think Tiger played up his pain, indicating more pain than he may have actually felt?
• Do you think he played down the pain from that knee after some of those shots.
• Who were you pulling for? Even it wasn't Tiger or Rocco - who were you pulling for?
• What other issues were a factor for you regarding this tournament?
• Did you skip the whole damned thing, and just went out and played some golf, YOURSELF?
• You just want to talk randomly, about the OPEN? That's fine - go for it!

I hope you enjoyed our 2008 Championship as much as I did.
