TPC Sawgrass Trivia

Thanks to my buddy John for giving me a good TPC trivia nugget today.

The TPC Sawgrass Stadium course hosts about 40,000 rounds of golf per year. They fish 120,000 golf balls out of the water on the #17th par-3 island green (3 of which are mine). That is an average of one sleeve per player on that hole.

Players are asked to proceed to the drop box after two balls go in the drink but like me, people seldom follow that suggestion. When I teed up the 3rd ball, my caddy started walking.

Happy Cinco De Mayo

My first TPC post for this week is an FYI. A “TPCFYI” if you will. I have a huge golf photo gallery here on HOG and inside are many golf course albums. Having played the TPC Sawgrass course a few months ago, I shot pictures of every hole, over 100. Most holes have tee, approach and green shots. I also have shots of the clubhouse, locker room, pro shop and more…

Hey that’s ME on the 10th tee at TPC Sawgrass!
I hit a great drive there too, drew it right to left with the shape of the fairway!

Now that I’ve experienced The TPC Sawgrass Stadium course first hand, I’m going to post a review and a bunch of cool nuggets on the course for TPC week! Stay tuneed to Hooked On Golf Blog for all the fun stuff.

I’ll go over each hole, the course, and even the amenities right down to the locker room. I’ll also talk about what it is like for a hack amateur to try and hit a shot on the #17th island green.

I love fairway foxes…

Thanks to my pop giving me a big-ass zoom lens for my digital SLR, I was able to get some covert shots of the baby foxes at the course. I love golf foxes. There’s nothing better.

The baby foxes are definitely getting bigger. My buddy Alan was telling me that foxes were mangy and unwanted on the course. I beg to differ. Geese are the enemy. I look forward to the day those baby foxes get big enough to hunt down the geese and chow down on them, thus reducing the need for fecal column compensation on the greens…
