Today we were all up bright and early and after a quick breakfast headed off to TPC Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL for Day 1 of the Players Championship.
There were plenty of Australians in action early on day 1. We spent plenty of time at the stadium (16th green, 17th hole) before walking around the course, especially the back 9.
The course looked magnificent and would be a real pleasure to play on. Below is the 16th green with the famous 17th island green in the background in the left of the picture.
We were able to see fellow Aussie, and the World #1 golfer, Jason Day, as well as World #2 – Jordan Spieth, in the same grouping. They had quite a few followers!
We all had a great time and there was a real buzz in the air, even on day 1. Below are photos looking across the 16th fairway with the famous 17th island green in the background.
Here is the trophy they are all playing for, with the modest clubhouse in the background:
