As the Players Championship approaches, there seems to be some electricity hovering around the PGA Tour. With Mickelson, Woods, and the young champion, Rory McIlroy all competing for the top, it will be interesting to see what unfolds. Located in Ponte Verde Beach, FL, the TPC Sawgrass will offer many challenges to this week's golfers. As spectators and players alike greatly anticipating the course's obstacles, one hole always comes to mind...the 17th island green. A source of happiness or grief in every round, the 17th hole presents players with a narrow green surrounded by water and unpredictable winds. On the last day of the tournament, that island green can truly determine who will win or lose.
The TPC sawgrass is a widely recognized golf course throughout the golfing community. At the beginning of last school year, my golf team was invited to play in the Queens University tournament held at TPC Sawgrass. I was greatly looking forward to having the opportunity to play at such an incredible course. During the weeks leading up to the tournament, I just couldn't get that island green out of my head. However, my golf coach decided to take a head coaching job at another university, so we were left without instruction. A new coach was not decided in time for the start of our season, so we were unable to compete in the tourament. I was devastated and ever since that moment, I have still not been able to get the course out of my head.
