Tom Kite at Greater Seattle Classic


We took a customer to the Greater Seattle Classic today and watched the Pro-Am event. It was pretty laid back and we had a chance to talk to some of the players and hosts. As we watched one hole, one of the amateurs accidentally shanked a line drive right at the pro, who just barely dodged it. As his caddie approached us a minute later he said, "That would have been worth the price of admissionm huh? Seeing a pro get hit in the nuts?"

On our way to the next hole one of the guys riding in the cart started talking to us, thanking us for coming out. It turns out it was Alan Mulally, the President of Boeing. Nice guy. Had no idea who he was as we talked.

After it cleared up, the scenery was beautiful. We got to see a number of big name players, like Gary Player, Tom Kite, JC Snead and Jim Colbert.
