Friday was awesome. ~ The weather was stellar... if you like Connecticut summer weather... which I do: sunny, high in the low 80s, 68% humidity.
Yes, I call that perfect.
I walked my favorite holes... 15 - 18 a couple of times then stationed myself at the signature 17th for a couple of hours and watched dozens of beautiful approach shots fly over the water and onto the green. It was mid-afternoon however, and the CT sun had created a firm fast surface that didn't give up many putts.
Good weather is predicted for the weekend too, and in addition to a tournament... with quite a few marquee names on the leaderboard... there are tons of exciting activities going on.
For a family... even a non-golfing family... it's the perfect place to spend the day. There's the Subway Fan Zone with myriad interactive displays, contests and games, including the Travelers Championship Challenge where you can grab a wedge and test your short game skills. ~ Kids have their own Zone with a full minigolf course, a climbing wall and various inflatable structures to climb up and slide down.
This afternoon, once the final pairing finishes up, the Fan Zone will welcome the Michelob ULTRA 19th Hole Concert Series. The bands were just tuning up yesterday when I had take off, but we plan to be there for tonight's show.
I'm heading off for Cromwell now myself... but if you can't make it you can still watch it on TV or interactively, on PGATour.com.
Defending Champion Kenny Perry tries his plumb bob on the bedeviling 17th green
It was great meeting you and the tournament was such fun. Jamie loved it too and we just put 2011 Travelers on our calendar.
ReplyDeleteI can believe how fit KP looks... he's obviously lost a lot of weight. do you know anything about that?
ReplyDeleteCT is beautiful when the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteI saw Kenny Perry at the Masters and he had definitely lost weight. Kudos to him, it's hard to shed pounds especially once you get to "the back nine". ;)
