The Players Championship

This course  is a great looking place, but it is spread all out  so much, it was hard to get to the practice areas and back to see players tee off.  So we went straight to the 17th.   Got there about 9;00am.  (Those stands on the 17th, fill up  fast.)  We stood  at the top of the GREEN  stand, directly in front of the 17th green.  The players had to walk under the stand to go to the 18th tee.

The wind was blowing  today, so where we stood, against the rail, at the top, was not bad at all. 

Did you see Cink's 57' birdie putt?  The crowd went wild. 

I don't know what all they were showing on TV,  but some balls rolled to the very edge before they stopped.  It is great to be in the crowd and be a part of the reaction  when some  hits the water, almost hits , and makes birds. 

No autographs this time, The 18th green was too far away  for me to run  back and forth.  So I didn't have to push some little  kid out of my way!!

Nice job ILG - Your descriptive of the 17th is better than the announcers were giving us.  It's tough to tell how the shots are in the air, even with the HD.  Sometimes the crowd reaction is the only sense of what's happening.  The murmurs grow into a small roar as balls get closer to the water. 

You should have free reign tomorrow for autographs, being Mother's Day and all.  Happy Mother's Day. 

Go K. Perry!

great jog ILG!!!! you are da man...errrrr....YOU ARE THE WOMAN!!!!!!

keep the updates comin...it's gettin late now....

iho.....

Well, It's over!!!   The course and the wind "ate'm up"  Only a few survived!!  Was it skill or  just luck?   In the play off,  Goydos's drive was "spot on" before the wind took over. 

Garcia's comment about TW was great.  What would TW had done, had he been there?  We will never know, but Garcia was glad, but gave Tiger the acknowledge he deserves.  Good job to both Garcia and Goydos.

I had a great time on 17, it was the only place to be.  It is too bad fans can't have cameras.  I could have gotten some good pictures.

 My next dream is to be on the 16th, in Scotsdale next Feb.  It will  be  just as exciting, except they BOO  any shot that is not  a bird. 

Cher, if you happen to read this,  I just went through your town "Atlanta" about an hour ago.  Do you know where it says 75 North, three lanes right?   Well when you get there, it  is the right two lanes, not three.  We got pushed off, and ended up  in a construction area, not very good!!  Finally got back on 75 north!!   I know Augusta is the greatest  PGA course, but  Sawgrass has to be next best.

ILG,

Three cheers for ILG....the most popular one on these thread these days! With compliments from BG and the rest too.

As for the final two days.....the high scores from Phil, Adam, Kenny Perry....and Kim....really humbles anyone.
