Oak Hill's PGA was outstanding!

My experience at the PGA championship at the Oak Hill Country Club was memorable. It is a great golf course and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Jason Dufner won the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday. I went there on Saturday, the day before the final round.

I rented a Fan Vision device. It let me see play on other holes along with the one I was watching. It had something like an 8 second delay, similar to TV broadcasts of hockey games. But it helped out, helped us keep track of who was doing what and the leaderboard. It had the CBS coverage, and 9 greens TV coverage, along with a par 3 hole coverage. Not bad for $20.

Here's some more pictures from that event...

The 15th green is where the fans are voting for the hole placement on the final day of the tournament. The fans are voting for several hole placements on this par 3 hole that has the only real water hazard.

Here's my shots of VJ Singh putting on the hole. He actually put one of his tee shots into the drink.

PGA championship at Oak Hill

We had a great time at the opening day of practice for the 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club Monday. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny with a few puffy clouds and the temp not getting any higher than 75. Saw VJ Singh practice along with Justin Rose and then Tiger made his way to the course and teed off at around 4 pm along with Steve Sticker.

At around 3:45, we saw a huge mob running over to the first tee and we knew it was either Tiger or Phil ready to tee off. We hurried up the 18th fairway to the first tee and saw Tiger play the first 5 holes.

Tiger hit a few tee shots in his first two holes, and then decided to concentrate on his chipping game the next few. I took 147 pics in all, but uploaded 30. Here's some shots I took...
