Pro-Am @ the AT&T National
I took the day off for my Birthday and I ended up getting some tickets to the AT&T National Golf Tournament. I must be honest, I had not kept up with the news and I was not sure that “he” would be there. I hope that if I blog about Tiger Woods, then my blog does not get all spammed by Russian porn spammers! I think it already does, but I only have to delete a few spam post every once in a while.
Back to the tourney. You can find more info about it at their main website.
I think golf tournaments are great and I enjoy going to them and I used to volunteer at the Texas Open before I moved to PA. The AT&T National in particular has some good charities it supports. Plus it add the additional element of supporting our troops. Of course, the AT&T National marks the return of professional golf back to the Philadelphia area… That is one of the tag lines of the tournament’s PR.
At the entrance to the tournament they have this large area where you can hang out and eat. Of course they have merchandise tent where you can buy anything Tiger! We did not explore too much of the course. It does have some elevation changes. If I ever played there, I would not walk the course.
Jeannette wishes this was her car. I am not sure if I had the money, if I would buy this car. I would definitely buy a convertible sports car, but a Mercedes? It is a beautiful car, but is it worth it?
This is along the side of the 18th hole. I do not even know what Tiger shot, but the last few holes he did pretty good. There was a large number of people following him. Why not?
So here is one of shots of Tiger. He was waiting for the rest of the foursome to tee off. The other guys did not do so bad. I do not think I saw anyone go in the water. I am sure I would have dropped one in the water hazard. If I did, I would have pulled a Tin Cup and hit all my balls in the water!
I am not sure if they did this at all the holes, but on 17 the caddys or whomever was wearing the brown smocks got to pose with him. Remember there are several other professional golfers playing in this Pro-Am. Today’s afternoon news was all about Tiger. Well, he did sink a 50ft putt!
We saw a few other golfers while we were there. Y. E. Yang hit a nice tee shot on 17th.
We also saw Dustin Johnson at 17th before we saw “El Tigre” All in all, it was a fun time. I wish we could have stayed all day, but we went to go see the A-Team afterwards. The panoramic I did was of the 18th fairway. You can see the tee box to the right and the green is to the left. It did not come out as good as I wanted, but I am just using Microsoft’s ICE.
Let’s see how Tiger does. According to the news he did not do so well today, but the tournament has just started.
