A Day at the Colonial Invitational

Yesterday, by wonderful coincidence, I was in Fort Worth, TX, which just happens to be hosting the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club.

I got to stand on the grounds of Hogans Alley!

Walking in the gates, I felt like a child. I was filled with wonder and enjoyment. It seems like I never get used to standing near the players that I see on television week in and week out for years and years. Watching them hit [...]
