For the first time in all the years Bo has been volunteering at The Players Tournament, he finally used his free voucher to play the course. He and his boss, Bruce, and his boss's 2 brothers from Canada met in Jacksonville for a golfing weekend. They played at Windsor Park on Saturday and played the Stadium Course at Sawgrass on Sunday. There are so many stories from that weekend...everything from issues crossing the border in Canada, to almost missing a flight and leaving behind the one thing the guys needed...golf clubs. Probably the most memorable story of the weekend will not be from the 17th island green, but from the hole-in-one Bo got to witness first hand by Joe at the par 3, third. The guys hooted and hollered so loud that the marshalls had to ask them to try and keep it a little quieter. Word travels fast when you get a hole-in-one. Joe was honored with a plaque in the clubhouse with his name and date of the hole-in-one. He got to take home the flag from the hole and he will receive his own plaque in the mail very soon. Needless to say, the drinks were on Joe for the rest of the day. Bo was so glad he finally got to go and play this course. And now that he has, he probably will make it a yearly event. Enjoy some of the pics here and see the rest at the share site.
And, on the tee, from Canton, Georgia, 4-time Players Champion, BO JACKSON.
HOLE IN ONE...
Joe was very excited.
Still very excited...and unable to breathe.
Time to rally...
The Stadium Course doesn't have gophers that laugh at you...they have raccoons.
Halfway home...hole 9.
Here goes nothing...the 17th.
Bring it home...finishing up on 18.
