Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this here Seminole Golf Club Pro Member Tournament. It’s a real fancy thing, this golf game. All them big shots, playin’ together. They say it’s down in Florida, a place called North Palm Beach. Sounds hot, I reckon. This golf place, Seminole Golf Club, it’s been there since, oh, 1929. Long time, long time. They got all them sand hills, right by the big ocean. Sounds like a sight to see.
Now, they got this tournament, the Seminole Pro-Member, they call it. This year is all big news because Tiger Woods is playing. They say this is the first time he is playing this tournament. He ain’t never been there before. And let me tell you, that Tiger, he’s somethin’ else. Hits that little ball a mile, he does. But you can’t watch him play, they say. I don’t know what that is about. Can’t nobody watch him on TV this time, only the people who are there. I heard about it on that Twitter thing, from the 5 Clubs Golf, whatever that is.
They say Tiger is playin’ with some fella named Seth Waugh. Big shot, they say, from the PGA. Whatever that is. And then there’s that Justin Thomas, a friend of Tiger, and Mike Walrath. Sounds like a big deal. Also, they say that Tom Brady, that football fella, used to play for the NFL, is playin’ too. He’s playin’ with Tony Finau. And then there’s Ernie Els and Johann Rupert. Lots of names I don’t know, but they sound important, I reckon.
This Seminole Pro-Member, it’s a big whoop-de-doo, they say. Lots of them golf pros are there. One fella, Rory McIlroy, he’s playin’ with his daddy, Gerry. That’s nice, ain’t it? Playin’ with your family. But that Tiger, he ain’t never played this one before. And get this, they say he ain’t never made an albatross. I don’t know what an albatross is but it must be something, ’cause he played over 24,000 holes on that PGA TOUR, whatever that means.
- This Seminole Golf place, it’s private, they say.
- Only 300 folks can be members.
- That’s not a lot, not a lot at all.
- Must be real special to get in there.
This whole golf tournament thing, it’s a mystery to me. But it sure sounds like a big deal. All them important folks, playin’ that game with the little white ball. They hit it with sticks, run around after it. Seems like a lot of work to me. But I guess it’s fun for them. They even have caddies to carry their bags. Imagine that!
I reckon this Seminole Golf Club is a fancy place. Probably got a nice clubhouse, with all sorts of fancy food. Maybe even them little sandwiches with the crusts cut off. I saw that on TV once. Looked real good. And they probably have their ice tea served in them tall glasses, all full of ice and a lemon slice. My!
Now, you gotta understand, this Seminole Pro Member tournament, it ain’t somethin’ just anyone can go to. You gotta be somebody, I reckon. Member of that club, or know somebody who is. It ain’t like goin’ down to the county fair, no sir. This is highfalutin stuff. I can only imagine the dresses on those ladies and the suits on those men. And don’t forget the hats. Those rich folks love their hats.
This Donald Ross fella, he’s the one who made the golf course, they say. Must be good at it, to make a place like that. All them hills and sand, right by the ocean. I bet it’s pretty, even if you don’t like golf. Just to sit there and look at the water. That’d be somethin’. And maybe they got them little golf carts, to ride around in. That’d be fun, too.
So, this Seminole Pro-Member Tournament, it’s a big deal. Lots of famous folks, playin’ golf, down in Florida. Tiger Woods is there, and that football player, Tom Brady. It’s all very excitin’, I suppose, if you’re into that sort of thing. Me? I’d rather be sittin’ on my porch, sippin’ my sweet tea, no need to chase a little white ball around. No, sir, I will just read about it.
