How many professional golf tournaments ?

[Golfy Kid]

How many professional golf tournaments have you seen ?

I only have been to one and it was last year at Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club
1. Canadian Women's Open

Me & my buddy was there for the final round & what a great tournament.
Followed the first group then we parked on Hole# 17 Par 3.
Many great shots & always nice to watch Natalie Gulbis on the green

I'm hoping to see the RBC Canadian Open one day

Four Canadian Opens:

1986, 1987, and 2004 Glen Abbey
1997 Montreal (maybe I saw you there, Kilroy!)

I witnessed first hand Mike's playoff loss to Vijay in 2004, from my vnatage point on a knoll to the side of the 18th tee - from which you can see the 17th green, and the entire length of the 18th (I had binoculars to watch the putting 500 yards away).

I'm hoping to add 2010 Canadian Open at St. George’s Golf and Country Club, Toronto, to my list.

LPGA Rochester International
Canadian Open
CN Women's Open

I had a chance to go see Mike Weir's first tour win at the Air Canada Championship, but my wife made me go to the PNE with her family.

I want to try and get down to the Turning Stone Championship this fall.

I have seen (in part or in whole) a number of events including the following:

1972 Canadian Open (Cherry Hills, won by Gay Brewer - if you saw his swing you would swear that Furyk was mentored by him);
2000 Masters (won by VJ);
2005 Senior PGA Championship (Laurel Valley);
Presidents Cup (Royal Montreal);
1998 Skins Game in PEI featuring Mike Weir, Freddie Couples, John Daly and Mark O'Meara.

My wife and I enjoyed every one of them.

Women's Open at the Hunt last year and at Essex in Windsor in the late 90s.
Men's Open at Glen Abbey a few times.
The PGA last year at Oakland Hills, which was by far my favourite to watch.

I've been to 2 Canadian Opens, several Bay Hill Invitationals (actually walked inside the ropes with Tiger Woods and his dad Earl, who was caddying for him, in a practice round the spring before he went to Stanford - it was only a couple of holes and it was actually the caddy of one of his playing partners I was chatting with but it's still a story ), and I also went to the Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills - again not a great event for actually watching golf but what an experience!

I voted one for the 03 Mercedes in Maui but I also was at the Legends of golf on P.E.I in 07 with Weir and V.J.

Mid '90s Canadian Tour event held at Timberwolf golf course in Sudbury. I think Ashley Chinner was sniffing the lead on the weekend. I saw some good shots and also some very bad shots! Great golf course!

Their was a rumor that the members there nixed futur events because they were inconvenienced!

I'm in the 2 to 10 category. Saw the 1996 or 1997 CPGA event at Forest City National in London. 2008 CN Women's Open at the Hunt Club.

First one at more then 10? Growing up going to the Canadian Open at the abby every year helps but i also have seen The Canadian open at Shaugnessy and Hamilton. My family used to play the Greater Vancouver Open Pro-am every year from 98-01...I will always cherish my picture with mike weir from the thursday of his first tour win. I have also been to 2 Nationwide events(where i literally ran into zach johnson making the turn, The LPGA here last year, The Presidents Cup, The Frys.com Open and The FBR Open...which I recommend for all!
