2012 Travelers Championship

Got the opportunity to experience my first PGA Tour tournament. My employer provided me with a bunch of free tickets, so Tony, Lynch, Erik, Erik and I decided to head down to Cromwell, CT for the final round. We made it down there in about two hours and strolled over to the first tee to witness Charley Hoffman's opening drive. We followed his group through the third hole until we discovered Bubba Watson was coming through to the 5th. We anticipated his arrival and camped out behind the par 3 tee box. I was super stoked to finally see the "Sultan of Swat" hit a ball right on down the line. It was about a 230 yd. par 3 with the pin tucked on the right side of the green, protected by large bunkers. Bubba hits a massive hook landing left of the hole a good 50 ft. which slowly rolled closer to the pin to about 10 feet. Amazing. We ended up following most of Bubba's round and became part of the massive gallery. We camped out on the challenging 17th tee box and saw a few great shots by Webb Simpson and Camillo Villegas. After bubba went through the 17th we migrated to the 18th to catch some of the drama that would unfold for Charley Hoffman. It was a fantastic experience and would recommend it to anybody who has any interest in the game of golf. Can't wait for the Deutsch Bank Championship.
