Muirfield Village Golf Club

Yup, that's right. Mike Ryan, one of dad's buddies, treated dad, Scott Alpeter, and I to an evening of high class golf and dining. Muirfield Village Golf Club is home of the Memorial Tournament and one of the top 10 golf courses in the U.S. according to some in the golf world. It was pretty cool putting on the same green as Tiger Woods had just a week ago.

I started the day off by having a guard let me through the gate to da' club. When I got to the entrance, someone took my bag, car, and shoes. They respiked my shoes for me because I had some old pieces of hud from high school still in my shoes. When I got into the club house a bag with a sweet shirt and hat was waiting for me. Let's just say, I don't have a shirt in my collection that compares to it. After everyone was ready and our newly spiked shoes were brought to us, we headed outside. Our bags were ready for us on carts and we headed to the practice tees. The balls at the driving range were the most expensive balls you can buy (ProV1s). After that, we went to the putting green and putted for a little bit. On our way to the first tee, we met our caddies. Bobby Jones was Mike and my caddy. He was basically the coolest guy on earth. He knew the course inside and out. He was telling me where to hit for each shot, without him I would have scored 5-10 strokes higher. I ended up having a decent day shooting 44 on the front 9 and 51 on the back. This was only my second round of the year, so I wasn't feeling bad. I beat Mike and dad, so I didn't embarrass myself, which was my goal.

After the round, we ate at da' club. It was like eating at a gourmet restaurant. I had the Walleye. At the end of the evening I went out to my car, which was valet parked at the front next to a $170K Bentley. They must not have realized I was driving a Corolla.
