Golf is a rare sport that allows you the unique opportunity to play along side a professional athlete. The BMW Championship offered that chance September 11th, 2013 to everyday golfers who qualified. Requirements included: a minimum of 18 handicap and an playing fee of $9,000 per player. Participants were chosen by a drawing held September 10th. These amateur golfers played with one of the top 70 PGA TOUR professionals in groups of 3 at the BMW Championship Golf Tournament which is being held September 9th - 15th at Conway Farms Golf Club, Lake Forest, Il.
I attended the Pro-Am yesterday with my husband and took some photos of the course and pros with their amateurs.
The Pro-Am is a great way to see a pro up close with out all the crowds. They allow pictures to be taken on this day, after the Pro-Am, NO cameras or cell phone photos are allowed. They respond to questions, compliments and sign autographs. An attendee can walk the course without navigating through the thick crowds which occur during the tournament. Daily ticket prices for September 12th - 15th are $55.00 on site.
Enjoy the photos.
