TPC

Yesterday was a really good day. My buddy JD, AKA, the "Hoagiemiester" took me to the Players championship in Jacksonville. Known as the "fifth major" this tournament sports a great course and a stacked field of players. It was so much fun walking around on the famed TPC course. I have watched for years on TV and my unexpected visit was incredible.

We saw a good of the many big boys:
Ernie Els
Stewart Cink
Adam Scott -He is so hot! He definitely had the most females in his gallery
Freddie Couples
Phil Mickelson
Vijay Singh
And the list goes on and on.

We sat at the famed 17th hole and watched people try to land there ball on the island green. It is amazing how short the hole actually is (125-140 yards), and yet fifty balls have disappeared into the water so far this year. We were present for one guy's kerplunk.

One of my favorite moments happened from the rough at the 7th hole. J.B Holmes drove his ball well right, into the rough. JD and I were the first to the ball. We set up shot six or seven feet behind the ball. We had front row seats as we watch J.B. try to work his shot through the trees, over the bunker, over the water and stop it on the lightening fast green. He tried to punch a 5 iron that ran through to the back of the green. After seeing his ball disappear off the back, J.B. took his 5 iron with both hands and drove the head of that sucker into completely into the ground. It was awesome!

For those of you who are thinking that I only enjoyed the bad shots, we saw quite a few great iron shots. Phil stuck one about a foot away on number 7. JD was thrilled by this. Apparently, he would love to be adopted by the Mickelson's.
I can't poke too much fun, JD is solely responsible forgetting me into the tournament.

Dang it was fun!!!
