This has nothing to do with Glenn Frey playing at Pebble Beach, but this past week while in Vegas, I did walk 9 holes of the Wendy's 3-Tour Tournament. I followed Rocco Mediate, Fred Funk and Natalie Gulbis.
Whether Glenn is playing or not, if you have the slightest interest in Golf, you should try to make it out to a Pro event. This was my second one. The first was the US Open when it was played at Souther Hills in Tulsa, OK back in 2002 I think.
It's nothing like a Rock Concert. These players, especially in events that are not "official USGA" tournaments (i.e. exhibition matches), are not walled off by security guards.
That may not be true of Celebrities in matches however.
While walking from Green to Tee, several times the players were literally rubbing shoulders with the spectators. I even spoke a word of encouragement to Rocco who is one of the most spectator friendly players around. Fred Funk is the same. I couldn't speak to Natalie though if I could have made my mouth work I could have! Now "I" might have done some freckle counting there had my brain been functioning properly!
