This was the first golf tournament I’ve ever been to in my life. The Memorial, only two weeks away from the second Major (US Open) was beautiful and stayed that way the entire four days. Usually this tournament is marred by rain or bad weather, but not this time. All four days of the competition was graced with beautiful weather and clear skies. Not one day had to be held over, and that was great.
Tiger Woods won his fourth championship here in Dublin (Columbus), Ohio. He loves playing at Jack’s course and it was great seeing him in person. When you could see him. Because of Tiger’s popularity, it was rough trying to see the mythological golfer due to the insane crowds around him. When Tiger was at a practice hole going over putting that crowd was significantly larger than golfers playing on the course. It was okay and I understand. If you have a celebrity then this might be your only time to see him.
Tiger was actually behind for most of the tournament. Even in the final round he was about four strokes back, however, he hit some birdies, and even an Eagle, to take the lead. You could hear the roar of the crowds and the excitement in everyone’s eyes as they believed Tiger would win.
As usual, some other golfers where ahead, however, were overcome by the pressure Mr. Woods. The only player willing to put up a fight was Jim Furyk. He did a great job, even though he was second. Watch out for him in the open, he’ll probably place in the top ten.
Two things I did not know. First, when golfers are finish, spectators can cross the grass and field area to go to different holes. I had no idea that was common and figured there where paths along the different holes to move the crowd. So it was great to be able to step on the course before and after the pros where playing. It would be like stepping on a basketball courts during halftime so you wouldn’t have to go around the back of an arena. Second thing, was how hard the ball flies. Often on television, it looks as though the ball makes an arc, or almost lobs to the next shot. But this is not the case after the first shot on a hole. The ball flies through the air with a lot of speed. Which was interesting.
While at the tournament, I knew I have to learn how to golf. Not for professional purpose, but for fun, as well as business/practical reasons. Many people are learning golf, and I desire to keep up with the times when it comes to that. Also, I like nature and it’s a sport that you can have fun as well as not be overwhelmed physically.
Overall, it was a great time, and I suggest for everyone to try to make a golf tournament. You
