BUICK OPEN ....TIGER WOODS SPOTTING!

(Vineyard Vines Outfit and Pink Golf Shoes)

We spent four days at the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The Buick Open is a well run, world class event. We were fortunate to receive tickets which included valet parking, club house passes, lunch, etc. Now, this is the way to attend a golf tournament! Our kids had a blast (as you can see). Even though Tiger was not there, Buick had this amazing booth set-up so you could have your picture taken with Tiger Woods. It was so much fun. I was amazed at all the adults in line to get their photo taken!
I guess the world loves Tiger Woods!

Highlights from this event:

Daughter B- said the the Buick LaCrosse is her "dream vehicle" replacing the VW Bug as the vehicle she wants when she is 16 .

Daughter C- received over 20 autographs from the golf pros and a few golf balls from the Caddies.

My son told Jason Gore about how he won the local Golf Channel Drive Putt Chip competition for Longest Drive and Best Chip. Jason said..."Keep it up buddy". My son smiled!

The "Analyze your Swing" golf pro said that my son's swing will pay for his parent's retirement. We were wondering if Buick guarantees this?

Buick's cars are amazing! Luxurious--and I mean leather seats and the works, affordable and a crossover that gets great gas mileage. We love that Tiger is their spokes person too--he sends a great message to our children. Note: The winner of the Buick Open receives a car--can't beat that!

Preppy Daughter Goes to Saddlebrook Golf Camp

(a little short for her clubs though) Custom, Monogrammed Shoes by Footjoy

Yes, while other children are going to camp to sail, ride horses, and play capture-the-flag, my 11 year old daughter is going to summer golf camp at Saddlebrook Resort. She pretty much made the all plans and organized herself to go....what can you say? She heard that if you can shoot under 80 you can get a college scholarship! That would be great with me!

In preparation, she is wearing lots of Lilly Pulitzer skirts and tops. She will look adorable and hopefully will learn some new skills. Only 2 girls and 14 boys in the golf program. She is going to be staying with other girls in the tennis program.

Cute top from Old Navy she wore on the plane.

Now, my other daughter is heading off on a Mission Trip to Tennessee. I think she will be camping but doing some interesting work. A little different experience, but good for her. She will be attend a tennis camp next week and my other two kids will be junior zoo keepers at the Toledo zoo. Fun, but busy!
