Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks for coming out on such a beautiful day here in San Francisco. For those of you who I did not have an opportunity to meet, I'm Joe Goode, managing director of communications for the USGA. We wanted to try something a little different this year and provide an advanced opportunity for the media that covers the U.S. Open, so hopefully this is an added bonus well in advance of our April 30 media day to talk to some of our key leaders about this year's national championship.

When it comes to the complexity of NCAA rules, the 400-odd page Division I Manual is not the problem. True, the Manual could use a little bit of work. It's been getting face lifts and tummy tucks over the past couple of years as the NCAA staff has reorganized some bylaws. The Manual is due for a bit of major surgery next year as only the most important bylaws will be in the dead tree edition. Overnight, the size of the Manual and the frequency of phone book comparison could be halved.
