Taking advantage of the weather, that reached up to 70°, Ben and I took to the Rockledge golf course to see how many shots we could rack up on our first round of the year. Before being able to tee off, the starter pairs us with two other people and introduces both of them by full name to me, which I thought was a little strange at the time. After seeing how good these guys were, and after Ben did his due diligence on following up on them, we figured out why they were introduced by their full names.
Billy Grogan and Pete Davison are the '08 senior winner and course record holder, respectively. Nothing like having our first time out in 2010 with some of the best golfers in Connecticut.
After that, we regrouped with the girls after they shopped all morning and headed to ESPN for a tour. As a special bonus to Ben and Steph, I was able to get them into a live taping of
SportsNation and it was a great experience. Michelle Beadle and Colin Cowherd were great with Michelle telling us she's been to a Red Lobster in Kearney (yeah, random) and Colin telling us how he loves the Old Market. Christi, Stephanie and Ben's left leg were lucky enough to be shown on TV.
We went home to make some surf and turf, watch some more basketball games and get some rest before our final day of games.
