Quail Hollow - No Work, Overpriced Beer and Craptastic Food, & Golf

It was good times on Wednesday. I was able to break away from work for the day to hang out with fellow chums Barr and the B.O.B. We arrived at Quail Hollow on the day of the pro/am. We saw a few of the more noteable entries like Dan Marino and Michael Jordan playing with some folks. We didn't make it out to catch the early bird, Tiger Woods, who tee'd of at 7:30 that morning. We did, however, get to see Tiger on the putting green.

After watching the man putt for 5 minutes, it was obvious he was in trouble. From five feet out, he missed most of his putts. That would be his achilles heel in the tournament, as for the 6th time in his professional career, Tiger didn't even make the cut! My personal favorite golfer, Phil Mickelson, was in it going into the final round, being 2 strokes out. Some 20 year old punk kid named Rory McIllroy won the tournament, and took the top prize of the $6.5M purse (or $1.152M for himself).

Makes me wanna take up golf full time! The kid just made in 4 days what it would take most of us 20 years to make!

Here's some snapshots of the tournament. A great time was had by all that concluded with $2.50 imports at DD's!

Barr had a good time...


Great shot looking down #3...


Barr using his advantage to get us that much closer to the action...


Phil showed up because he knew I was gonna be there...


All in all, it was an awesomely goregous day with the boys hangin out at quail hollow. Hopefully next year we can go for more than just 1 day!
