On our way back from St. Augustine, we travelled up hwy 1A1 along the coast past Ponte Vedra to visit the home of the PGA Players Championship TCP Sawgrass course. We were not sure if we would be able to get in, but no problem as a lot of tourists come through. The staff there was very helpful and gracious. After Lynn posed for pictures with her "boyfriend Rory McIlroy" in the pro shop, we were given a personal tour of holes 16, 17 and 18 by one of the staff.
