The best of the best in the PGA is coming to the A K Rowdy this weekend, including Tiger.
Is anyone planning on being in attendance?

I might check it out. My girlfriend works at Firestone and supposedly gets free four day passes.

Played the West (?..the one that wraps around the big course) course a couple years ago. Fun times. Never been up there for the actual PGA Event. All I remember is that No 1. on the big course is just asking for you to bomb it, and we stayed in one of the rooms behind No. 18 (or 16? can't remember) on the big course.

I stayed in one of the places behind 16 as well and played the big course, what a great freaking course. Ton of fun.

My great aunt learned how to play golf there about 60 years ago. Her neighbor across the street is head of security for the tourney.
Akron/Canton is the sports capital of the world this weekend.
