AT&T National Golf Tourney

Josh and I attended the AT&T National Golf Tournament yesterday at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.  I don't play golf (Josh provides enough frustration in my life j/k), but, for some reason, I love to watch it.  The tournament is hosted by Tiger Woods and benefits his children's foundation.  Tiger played in the tourney and, of course, brought out a lot spectators.  Taking advice from a co-worker of mine who is a golf enthusiast, we decided to avoid the masses that would be following Tiger from hole to hole and camped out at one hole.  For no particular reason, except that there was no one at the hole at the time, we got front row on the par 4, hole 8 green.  We had a great view of all the big names as they came through -- we saw Jim Furyk, Jesper Parnevik, Vijay Singh, and, of course, Tiger Woods.  We were front and center to see Tiger save par on the hole.  Too bad no one will remember that his pairing partner, Kevin Stadler, birdied the hole.  After hole 8, we walked to the green of hole 17 and watched a bit of play there.  We then made our way over to the tee at 18, where we watched Tiger tee off.  We really had a great time watching the big name stars, as well as getting familiar with some of the younger talent, like Anthony Kim.  I really enjoyed watching golf live because it is rare to go to a professional sporting event and be that close to the athletes.  I was also impressed with how organized the tourney was, expecially the parking and shuttling situation.  Overall, the event was great and we will go back again next year.
