Living on the edge at the "Cliffs of Moher" in Ireland.  A truly breathtaking sight after playing the Old Course at Ballybunion that morning.

Old Head GC - Ireland 2003
Absolutely one of the most impressive pieces of land I've ever played golf on.  That piece of rock was also the last place the Titanic was seen before the tragedy.  Pretty cool part of history!

PGA Championship-Whistling Straits GC Haven, Wis.
What a great performance by Jason Day in capturing the 97th PGA Championship!
A long overdue first major for one of the tours most talented players.  20 under in a major!  Are you kidding me?  What a great tournament to watch at a breath-taking venue.
