Hmmm, I'll be in NYC for game 6 (if it goes that far). Think they'll mind if I show up in my Bruins gear?

I won the play golf with Stuart Appleby auction earlier this week...totally excited! Get to play Isleworth Country Club in Windermere, FL! For those of you not familiar with this course, it is home to MANY PGA tour pros, and the site of the infamous Tiger Woods scandal...that home is now owned by Bubba Watson!
This is the 4th golf Moment I've bought and each one has been fantastic...cannot wait until next Friday!!!
Another reason to LOVE SPG!^^^

Thanks! I've been fortunate enough to play with Rich Beem, Brad Faxon, and Fred Funk (in a pro-am)...all the guys and the service from SPG have been outstanding...hope this one is as well!

You have a nice handicap. I have to be able to play golf most every day to shoot in the 70's. And that rarely happens as a frequent flyer.

Thanks Stimpy! I tend to play much better when I play with better players...when I played with Faxon, I chipped in for a par and made 2 birdies in my 6 hole stretch...goo memories!

Play the right tees! Do not feel small playing "up". There are several short par 4s that make the 3s long from further back. The 5s are hellish depending on where the tees/pins are.
If they let you in the locker room, wander around. There is not a lot of history but it is a top notch locker room.
The men's grill is my favorite! I could live in there. Hopefully that's where you will eat lunch. There is a putting green, simulator, half court basketball goal, and arcade games. Check it out.
The bull between 1 and 10 is the twin of wall street. There are sculptures throughout the course.
The greens are multitiered and fun. Most are elevated with run offs. They will probably not be extremely fast due to summer heat but they are always great!
Temper your expectations with the course. It is beautiful but the layout and lack of history make it very good but not great. Think of a resort course that is very new money.
Enjoy! The course plays fast and has great views of the lakes and surrounding houses. Joe Lewis' house is behind the 11 green. Tiger/Bubba is to the right of the range. Seagull island (queen of Versailles movie) is the gate on your way to the driving range. I am sure spg will do a great job and if you do decide to play a box back, #2 will be fun!

I do work occasionally at Fenway, though, and I've been pleasantly surprised the past few years how well out of towners are treated, considering the stories people tell.

Actually it's always been ok for visitors at Fenway with the exception of the Yankees. I once wore my White Sox shirt there when they were visiting and yelled "Go Sox" each time they were up. Everyone around me got a laugh out of it. No hard feelings.

We were treated very well by the Twins fans at Target Field this weekend (thank goodness we didn't plan to go to yesterday's 3 hour rain delay game!). Funny thing is, the worst place we've ever been treated as Red Sox fans was in Toronto!
