Notes from the Bridgestone Invitational
Eighty of the top golfers in the world are playing just 45 minutes away from my house this week at Firestone Country Club in Akron for the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Tournament. I took advantage of the opportunity to watch them during Tuesday and Wednesday’s practice rounds as I try to do every year. What a great experience.
Sans Tiger, there were just a few hundred spectators for the practice and the pros were generous in their time with the fans. Firestone itself was elegantly dressed for the occasion in typical Ohio fashion–dressy, but not haughty. Below are a few pictures I took of the event (including the one above of the Firestone Club House).
