If you’re reading this and haven’t read part one, then do that now. Don’t worry, this post will still be here when you come back.
Going to the PGA Championship fulfilled a lifelong dream of seeing PGA Tour players in a tournament. The whole experience of Whistling Straits was great,[1] and I was left feeling satisfied and filled with a new perspective on pro golfers. The following are my observations from the weekend:
· Whistling Straits is a beautiful course with way too many bunkers.[2]
· I must have envisioned every golfer as normal height because numerous golfers seemed taller or smaller than I thought. The most notable of which was Jim Furyk who is much taller than I suspected.
· Tim Clark is one of my new favorite golfers because he is a tee scavenger. This means that he doesn’t use a new tee on a par 3. I engage in this practice, and it was nice to see a pro do it after seeing almost all the golfers leave their tee behind.
· Bubba Watson is one of my new favorite golfers because he hits the ball a mile, is emotional in a good way, and is open about being Christian.
· The following for Tiger Woods was by far the biggest on both days, even though he wasn’t near the lead. Not only were these crowds huge but annoying. I’m not a Tiger fan but the fans following him were the worst. They had no golf etiquette, and I think that is the reason that people that play with Tiger don’t play well.
I loved the PGA Championship, and I was like a kid in a candy store.[3] Little did I know, that I would be in Wisconsin again in two weeks. That sounds like another blog post coming to me. Wait and find out.[4]
