The Player's Championship, Ponte Vedra Beach, 5/6-5/12/13
We've got some great weather here in Ponte Vedra Beach for all the golfers and fans this week - chamber of commerce type weather.
If you are heading out to The Player's Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach this weekend, keep in mind there were record crowds out there yesterday, and with boht Tiger & Sergio high up on the leaderboard, you can expect the same today & tomorrow.
The general parking lot was filled to capacity yesterday and closed at 1:30pm. As of now, without a general parking pass, you will not be able … (4 comments)

The Player's Championship in Pone Vedra Beach 5/6-5/12/13
Our annual TPC golf tournament is under way: we had the practice rounds earlier this week, and then the tournament started on 5/9 after the practice rounds. We had about 10 inches of rain last weekend (thank goodness that was not TPC weekend), and I've heard the course looks great.
It's alway a wild time here during The Player's Championship: we have more trafic which makes simple things more of a challenge; we have a blimp hovering over us; and we have our tickets to go to TPC, it's just a question of … (6 comments)

The Players Championship, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 5/6-5/12/13
It's Players time again here in Northeast Florida, and that means a week of golf, golfers, fans, traffic, and parking woes.
If you live here, chances are good you've been to The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach at least once, and experienced traffic at least once.
You're lucky if you live here, because chances are also good you know the back roads, have a friend who lives in Sawgrass, and let's you park at their house, or you can bike to the course.
This year, there are busses running from downtown hotels, … (8 comments)

The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL is a wonderful annual event that will be celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year.
Nicknamed the TPC locally (and somewhat to the chagrin of Tour officials), the TPC brings in top golfers from all over the world. Some of the best golf is watching the practice rounds, when the course isn't stuffed full of fans, and you can bring a camera with you. Once the official tournament starts, cameras are banned, but we can bring our cell phones, and there are cell phone tents where you can call, or check your … (3 comments)

golf: A Weekend At The TPC
- 05/16/11 08:27 AM
I managed to be "gifted" a pair of Benefactor tickets and a parking pass to the TPC on Saturday, which was awesome! We had big brunch a a friend's house (complete with omelet station & DJ), prior to getting on the course. The weather on Saturday was predicted to have a 40% chance of rain, so we needed to think about our destination, as our Benny tickets gave us access to the Benefactor Tent, the Turn, and the Clubhouse.
Cabrera had hit a shot on 18 almost into the pathway as we were walking by, so we stopped to watch him … (0 comments)

The Player's Championship, which shifted from March to May a few years ago, is coming up next week, 5/9-5/15/11 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
There are many improvements to the course this year, to overall enhance the fan experience, including more shade (a big deal since the shift from March), air-conditioned viewing areas for the general public (previously, this was really only found at chalets along the course, which were privately rented, thus requiring another pass for access), as well as cell phone friendly areas, meaning we no longer have to ditch our phones for the day. This is the FIRST … (6 comments)

golf: Muscle Memory
- 05/15/08 02:45 AM
I've been taking golf lessons recently, first time ever, and have found the lessons to be not only fun and interesting, but have applications off the golf course.
For example, I have a bad habit of "flipping" my left wrist after hitting the ball. They have worked with me on this, having me work on the separate steps of the golf swing, and breaking them down one by one. I even paid close attention to the TPC on TV to really analyze how they swing. And, practiced with my foam golf balls in my house while the TPC was on.
The point to … (3 comments)
