Pro-Am Day 2

Greater Hickory Classic 2009

Day two of the Pro-Am at the 2009 Greater Hickory Classic proved to be a little more challenging for me as well as those carrying golf clubs. The weather was spotty most of the day, but the second round that had their shotgun start around 1:15pm got to play most of their 18 without much of a problem from the weather in the area.  In the photo above, I was at the 4th tee of the Jones waiting for Lee Trevino's group to come up the hill from the third green when the marshall decided to have a little fun with me, so I ripped off a few photos of him.  I should have gotten his name, but I didn't...

The first day of the Greater Hickory Classic tournament is tomorrow, so I'll be at the course most of the day, and then I'll head out to a high school football game in the evening.
