They've got us media and caddies parking on Baytowne's par-5 ninth hole, just short of the pond in front of the green. That's okay…unless we get more rain…just had a little bit before today.
BUT – if we get the T-storms that are predicted for later today, tonight and tomorrow, they'll need barges or a tracked retriever vehicle to get us to the parking space and back out again!!
That means that our heartfelt slogan is, "HOORAY FOR THE CRESTVIEW LINE!" Dodge Destin and head north at Mary Esther!
The only problem I had on my first trip out here Tuesday was finding the media bathroom! Wandered around for a while before finding out that we have a "honey wagon" just like the ones the pros have. In fact, on Monday, when a few media folks strayed into the pro honey wagon, the media room was alerted to the fact that the pros didn't want us contaminating their crapper!
Out here now waiting to interview Hale Irwin after he finishes his pro-am round – and a phone conference with New York writers. Guess they've heard that this is hurricane country and are afraid to venture south of the Mason-Dixon line?? Will update here later today on Hale's views on Sandestin Raven – and tournament amenties.
