Tiger wasn’t too happy about the rain delays during previous Accenture Match Play Tournaments in California, so he suggested they tee it up in Tucson this year. They did. We had some friends visiting from Chicago this weekend so we all decided to attend today’s second round. Mother Nature hit a hole-in-one by scheduling perfect weather. The switch to this locale must have been a scramble because the transportation logistics weren’t up to par. Our drive to the course was uneventful until we were a chip shot away. There our foursome hit the first of four long lines to and from the course. In all we spent five hours getting transported so we could be part of the gallery for a few hours.
Despite this major whiff by the organizers, the fairways were immaculate and uncrowded, and we had a great time puttering around the links and getting close to the best golfers from around the world. Hopefully the planners will go to school on this attempt, address the problems, and not shank it again next year.
