Jan. 17th, 2006 Opening Day of the Bob Hope Classic

Today, Teri stayed home at the trailer and I went to the ‘Bob Hope Chrysler Classic’ PGA Pro-Am Golf Tournament. It was Wednesday opening rounds for the Classic, opening at 4 golf courses. I went to the Bermuda Dunes Country Club to watch the celebrity pairings. I spent most of the day following one group around the golf course. The group I picked was PGA Pro, Jesper Parnevik, celebrity amateurs, Alice Cooper the rock star, Scott Hamilton the figure skater, and Taylor Hicks the 2006 American Ideal winner.
The PGA pro put on an excellent show, he ended up with 3 under par, but that could have been much more if he putted better.
Alice Cooper did very well and completed most of the holes, which means they were going to use his score. I think they use the best two golfers’ scores for the team score. This includes the Pro’s score. But, the pro pays the Black tee box and the amateurs use the Blue tee box.
Scott Hamilton even though he is only 5 feet tall could drive the ball almost as far as anyone else. He contributed to lots of the holes.
Scott Hamilton could drive the ball almost as far as the pro, at least 300 yards. But, his short game was not good. He did contribute to some holes.
No one made any amazing puts but I did see one of the pros hole the ball from a sand bunker.
When I got home Teri had supper ready.
No pictures today, not allowed.

Great day
