Jim and Greg were up and at em early today!
They wanted to make sure they were at the course by 8:30 to catch Jack teeing off at 8:42. They got over to the course with no problems and made it to watch him start. They ended up following Jack for his first nine holes. Jim was in his glory. They were able to get super close to him, since it was so early and the crowds were thin.
Over the two days they became familiar with Jack's wife Barbara, so much so, that she actually wandered over to them and struck up a conversation this afternoon. They talked about Jack, Jim Tressel and all kinds of Ohio sports. They loved it. Greg even got his picture taken with her!
After Jack's first nine, they decided to sit on 13 tee and watch all the rest of the groups come through. After that, they went up to 18 to watch everyone finish.
Greg had entered a contest earlier in the day, to guess who was going to win the tournament. You got a wristband for the specific player you picked. He picked Bernhard Langer to win, and as it turns out, he WON! Greg and Jim were able to go on the 18th green and get a group shot with everyone who picked him to win, along with Bernhard himself. They were so stoked! What a way to end the tournament.
After the tournament, they went and had dinner at a nearby pizza place.
After that, they went back to the room, Greg was a little petered out and was just going to lounge around the room. Jim decided to go check out Epcot for an hour since it was open to an odd 9:30 time. He went and caught the end of the Holiday Candlelight Processional and the American Adventure show! He was thrilled! After that, he took a spin around the Boardwalk Lagoon on the way back to the car. They had a successful day!
Meanwhile, I was home watching the Browns have the ultimate UNSUCCESSFUL day!
Nana and I headed up to the game alone. Papa was sitting this one out and obviously Jim was in Florida. We were meeting Pam, and Denny and Joyce.
We were dropping off a ticket for Pam at will call, out front by the will call window, people were getting their pictures with Swagger! I decided to jump in and have my picture taken! It was so fun! He is HUGE, too!
We had a fun little tailgate, but NOT a fun game! Johnny Manziel was getting his first full start of the season after Brian Hoyer got benched. He was absolutely dreadful! At halftime the browns had literally four first downs and eight passing yards. The most exciting thing to happen was the hovercraft races at halftime. We had fun though because people just kept yelling random one liners, so we laughed the whole time!
When we got home, we picked up Papa and Reagan and went to Stonebridge for dinner. YUM!
It turned out to be an OK day, despite the outcome of the game.
