PGA Grand Slam - Port Royal Bermuda

I loved watching this because it is the only course I've played that the Pro Men play.  Also, since it is only four players, you get to see more.  Kudos to Harrington who got called up at the last moment and won.  He played really well.  He had some terrific shots.

My favorite hole is of course, #16.  I parred that hole with a 4-iron from 180.  My best hole the whole round.  Bubba and Keegan went left into the abyss.  Padraig and Webb went short and safe.  They were 215 back and had a much worse angle though with almost no carry over fairway.  Still, I felt good about hitting the green.  My wife almost parred too.

On #15, last year Rory almost drove the green on a 420 yard hole!  I hit a low drive and had 190 left to the flag.  So I am humbled!

I only caught the 16th hole as I was busy catching up on shows I had DVR'ed.  And that 16th hole is beautiful!  It looked amazing in HD with the vibrant colors.

Speaking of the hole... What was Bubba Watson doing?  He was hitting massive slices into the hazard!?  He didn't look like a professional the way he was missing.

I will say, it was very interesting just tuning into that hole, as the commentators were basically mute - and you could hear all of the dialog between the players and their caddy.  I was quite surprised at how long they each took to run through the pre-shot routine, and determine the distances, etc.  I can't imagine playing that slow.  But the slow play may have been exasperated given the difficulty of the hole/shot at hand?
