Then, I checked out the Clubhouse.  Much more laid back atmosphere and better food, drink and service.  Just a thought, but If you are buying you tickets for next year, and you must chose, I would advise you to choose the clubhouse over the Island Club.

-Amazing to see the "old" guys doing so well this week.  50-year old Bernhard Langer has put on a putting clinic.  Fred Couples is on the first page of the leaderboard and so is Miguel Angel Jimenez.  I would expect that at least one of those guys could make some noise over the weekend.  Remember, it was only three years ago that 48-year old Fred Funk won here.
