ON AUGUST 13TH, ME AND 3 OF MY GOLF BUDDIES FROM MAKRAY PACKED UP BARB'S SUV AND HEADED NORTH TO WISCONSIN.
OUR FIRST DESTINATION WAS TO PLAY 9 HOLES OF GOLF AT WESTERN LAKES GOLF CLUB IN PEWAUKEE, WI., THEN CHECK INTO THE HOLIDAY INN,
WHEN WE ARRIVED AT WHISTLING STRAITS AROUND 7AM, WE GOT A FIRST ROW PARKING SPACE (THANKS TO A HANDICAP TAG). AFTER A QUICK POTTY BREAK WE BEGAN OUR WALK TO THE 17TH GREEN WHERE WE PLANNED TO SETTLE IN FOR THE DAY.
A VOLUNTEER NAMED JIM GAVE ME, BARB, AND DEBBY A RIDE IN A GOLF CART MOST OF THE WAY TO OUR DESTINATION. BEHIND US WAS TERESA WHO RODE WITH ANOTHER COUPLE. THIS RIDE SAVED US A TON OF WALKING.
THIS IS THE VIEW WE HAD ALL DAY AT THE 17TH GREEN WITH LAKE MICHIGAN IN THE BACKGROUND. STEVE STRICKER AND ADAM SCOTT WERE AMONG THE PLAYERS WE SAW AND I WAS ABLE TO SNEAK IN A FEW PICTURES.
WE ALMOST GOT HIT IT THE HEAD BY A WAYWARD SHOT FROM T. KENNEDY. THIS PHOTO SHOWS HIM JUST BEHIND US WAITING FOR A RULING ON WHERE TO DROP. HIS BALL HAD LANDED ON THE STONE WALKING PATH.
THERE ARE NO CART PATHS AT W.S. YOU HAVE TO WALK THE COURSE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CADDY IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THERE.
I WAS ALSO ABLE TO SNEAK A COUPLE OF PICTURES ON THE 2ND TEE BOX WHERE THERE WAS A BACKUP. RICKY FOWLER WAS IN THE GROUP IN FRONT OF TIGER WOODS AND HERE THEY ARE CHATTING WITH ONE ANOTHER AS THEY WAITED TO TEE UP. TIGER IS SITTING ON THE STEPS.
TIGER WAS PLAYING WITH KEEGAN BRADLEY AND ZACH JOHNSON. THIS IS THE GREEN ON HOLE #1 
THERE WAS NEVER A CLOUD IN THE SKY WHILE WE WERE THERE ON FRIDAY. WE LEFT THE COURSE AROUND 2:30 AND HEADED BACK TO PEWAUKEE. WE WERE QUITE SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE WEATHER HAD TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE AND THAT PLAY WAS SUSPENDED.
AS WE WERE HAVING DINNER, THE STORM HIT PEWUAKEE BUT HAD STOPPED BEFORE WE LEFT THE RESTAURANT. WE NEVER GOT RAINED ON!
I HAD A GEAT TIME WITH MY GOLF BUDDIES AND ALSO HAD A GREAT ROOMY!
UNTIL NEXT TIME...mag
