Bridgestone World Golf Championship

Wednesday morning Andrew and I attended the practice round for the Bridgestone World Golf Championship tournament to be played at Firestone golf course in Akron this weekend. Kids get in free and I like the practice rounds because you can take your camera. We saw quite a few of the best golfers of the world and Andrew got five autographs and VJ Singh asked him to throw him his ball which landed in the rouche a few feet from were we were sitting. That's the two of us ready to watch some guys hit a little white ball around some extremely think and dark green grass.

The Firestone golf course is really beautiful . This is the players clubhouse overlooking the tee to hole #1. We followed Sergio Garcia for several holes. Here he is signing autographs. A bit later Andrew decided he wanted to see if he could get some autographs and so we got a course map and he handed it right to Sergio as he was heading to the 9th tee and Sergio signed the map right on the 9th fairway. Andrew then got several additional autographs. He wants to save the map and see how many more he can get next year.
Here is our glimpse of Tiger Woods. For most players there were only a few to maybe 10s of spectators but as you can see everyone is following Tiger around. This is Ian Pouter from England. He has a bit of a rep for his flamboyant outfits. I distinctly remember taking many pictures of him last year as he stood on the 2nd green putting while talking to someone on a cell phone the whole time.
