If you aren’t a golf super fan like I am and don’t normally watch golf on TV, this is the week you should! Because one of our very own Connecticut golf pro’s is competing in the PGA Championship down in South Caroline. How cool is that?!

His name is Pete Ballo. Pete’s a Stamford native who graduated from Trinity Catholic High School. He works as an assistant head pro at Silvermine Golf Club in Norwalk.

This will be his first ever PGA Tour event. What a great one to be in too. The PGA Championship is one of the PGA Tour’s 4 majors of the season. Pete competed in the PGA Professional Championship with other golf club pros last month and was on of the 20 who qualified to play this wee

If you want to cheer Pete on the tournament starts tomorrow (Thursday 5/20). Pete’s tee time is 2:31pm. You can watch on ESPN Thurs & Friday and on CBS this weekend.

Go Pete! Hit it hard.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are there no windows in grocery stores?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are there no windows in grocery stores?

Next time you’re shopping for milk and eggs take a look around the store. No windows! But why?

It’s part of the retail shopping psychology. The strategy being to create a shopping environment where people feel comfortable to spend both a lot of time and money. Same idea as a casino.

Having no windows creates a feeling of endless time and make people forget about bad weather outside or if it’s getting dark out. After all, the longer you shop, the more you spend usually.

There’s a few practical reasons too. Having Large windows with sunlight beaming in all day might cause fading on packages, making them seem old or worn. There’s also the issue of space. Every window you put up takes away precious wall space for product.

So next time you’re pushing your cart around the store just be aware it was no accident that you can’t see out to the sky.
