Fore!

Today, Carl and I headed to Hazeltine Golf Course in Chaska for the PGA Championship Golf Tournament practice round. My Dad and Barb are official "marshals" for the tourney. They were given a few tickets to give to family/friends for the practice round, so we happily snached them up.

Two pros chatting it up on the practice green
Not only was it a BEAUTIFUL golf course, it was a really cool experience. We really wanted to see Tiger Woods play, but unfortunately, we missed him by mere minutes! Just before we met my dad and Barb at the 10th Tee Box, he had just walked by after his practice round and was headed to his press conference...boo! I was pretty bummed, but it was still fun to see other pros. They are amazing! And it is amazing to see them play!

17th Hole's green
The most fun I had was watching my dad in his own personal heaven :) He was so excited and walking so fast, that we basically had to jog to keep up with him. He had already worked on Monday, so when we got there, he already knew the ropes and was able to show us a lot.


10th Hole...beautiful!
We had such a good time! Carl is now chomping at the bit to get back on a golf course!
