Ryder Cup Practice Round w/Molly
Over a year ago, we won the lottery and we got tickets for the Ryder Cup. Thanks to Cathie for submitting for us.
Cathie wasn’t able to go, but Molly was. She noticed right away that the tickets were for a practice round. At first I was disappointed, then we learned that we could bring our cameras and attend the opening ceremonies. This was going to be ok.
When we got to Medinah, the players were already on the course and we quickly found Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy.
As the day progressed we saw Davis Love, Jason Dufner, Jim Furyk, Distin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Steve Stricker, Bubba Watson, Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and Jeff Sluman. Many of the players were only visible to us on the driving range (vs on the golf course)
Also on the course, we saw the European golfers, specially we saw: José María Olazábal, Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell, and others. We also met some really nice visitors from overseas. We hope they are having a good time in the Chicago area.
Overall, the players were very relaxed. They didn’t mind camera clicking away. The players would play sometimes two balls, or they would finis a hole, then throw some balls in a green side bunker and practice some sand shots.
