George, I hope you have fun! I am sorry to tell you, I can't stand golf. My mother, father and brother were avid golfers. Dad took me out one time, we went through about 3 holes, he turned to me and said, "good thing we have a membership to the pool" and deposited me there. Never took me out again.
Andrea, that is funny ...... LOL
That sounds like some thing that I would do to one of my kids ....... LOL
This is a huge event for the golf-lovers in CT. While golf isn't my cup of tea to participate in, I do enjoy watching the tournaments each weekend and looking forward to seeing some of my favorite golfers play.
George , I'm a big Golf Fan, but have yet to see a live tournament this must be great for people in and around your area to have these pros in town.
Donna, I am more of a watcher like you than a player, and this weekend should be some good golf to watch.
Steve, I guess some times we take events like this for granted because this tournament has been going on for so many year (not always under this name). I guess what keeps this tournament exciting is that they seem to draw bigger and bigger names each year.
