The Travelers Championship is Connecticut's biggest sporting event. It's been part of the PGA tour since 1952 and past winners include Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson.
I'm heading up to Cromwell today for the tournament's media day.
Defending Champion (and Twitter afficianado) Stewart Cink is scheduled to be there too, before taking off for Charlotte and Quail Ridge.
I'll have more for you later today from TPC River Highlands...gotta hit the road now, I'm running late. As usual.
does hubby know about you having the hots for Stewart Cink all of a sudden ? :-D
ReplyDeleteI guess it is the biggest event up in CT for sure especially now since the Hartford Whalers left the mall they played in up there and came down here to Raleigh.
ReplyDeleteSince the left up there the Hurricanes have played for the Stanley Cup twice and win it once. That was as big a deal in this town as were the two recent US Opens just to our south.
Interestingly, yesterday morning I ran across two folks from up there who were visiting our course for a morning round before they went over to the arena to tailgate and then watch the Hurricanes play the Devils. They said that they had driven down Friday and were astounded at how many good golf courses there are around here that the public can get on.
Nice guys, those two from CT, and I hope they enjoyed the hockey game as much as the golf.
Your pics on Twitter were great. Looks like Travelers is a really vested sponsor. What's needed now.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Hartford for 4 year and we always looked forward to the GHO. It's good to see that some of the top players have already committed.
