If anyone in your area has not been to this event in the past, I highly recommend it.  While I've never been to this tournament, I've been to a number of PGA events in our area, and always have a great time!

Margaret, this event gets the whole community involved.  I'm amazed at how many people skip work for it!

John, thanks!  If the weather is anything like today, it will be fantastic!

Candy, we were very fortunate to keep the Tour here post Katrina.  It's a boon to the local economy and to the charities supported by the Foundation as well.

I really wish that I had learned to play golf.  Last year when working for a differeent broker, the office had a golf course for sale, and I went to take pictures of the course.  It was so much fun riding around in the golf cart, and the "duffers" were so funny and friendly.  

But alas, I can't even play MINIATURE golf...I think I'd be dangerous!

Karen, you and I are in the same boat!  I love golf courses...they are so beautiful, but I am completely uncoordinated and cannot play :)
