Come To the Barclays Classic - On LBG!
Well, it was a long day getting set up at the Barclays Classic. We're 80 percent 'go' now and will be ready to meet Barclay's sixty Pro-Am participants from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow. Can't wait!
I've talked with the good folks at Barclays Capital, and we've arranged a limited number of complimentary daily passes to the Classic for friends of LBG. First come first served. The tournament is one of the premier stops on the PGA TOUR, watched by millions of television viewers worldwide. Its world-class field and the magnificent venue of Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York, makes this a truly special event, one that we are very proud to be part of.
If you would like to attend this week's Barclays Classic, drop me a PM with your preferred day, and I'll do my best to make it happen. I have no way to judge demand on this, but we'll take it as far as we can.

Watching the Fish Float By
Well, it's a great day for golf at the Barclays Classic...if you're a fish!
Man, it's comin' down now. We're completing our setup work and watching the hardy souls playing in the Pro-Am trudge by us approaching the 18th green. Actually, 'float' by us might be a better word! But it's supposed to clear out sometime today.  After all...
This IS a golf course!

Fun With Friends of LBG At The Barclays Classic
Wow, what a great golf course this is! Hilly, thy name is Westchester! And lots of wet, high rough. Combined with undulating greens that were already quick and were rolled last night, it's no picnic out there for the golfers. But it is for the fans -- especially with the rain holding off -- and that's what counts.
Thus far, I've been able to fill all complimentary ticket requests for our members, and they will be waiting for you at the well-marked 'Will Call' pavillion at the main entrance. Any member who would like to attend this weekend (limit two tickets per member), drop me a PM with the day you want and it will happen!
Enjoy!

Just back from Westchester CC. Great classic old style course. Hilly, narrow and small undulating greens. Lynn and Ted's tent was directly behind and connected to the Barclays hospitality tent. Saw Ted as he was leaving but couldn't get his attention(couldn't scream, we were right next to the 18th green  ). Was standing not five feet from Yoda on the practice green as he was giving a lesson, but he was so involved in his teaching, he didn't even notice me  .
Here's hoping Lynn and Ted were a big hit, and this becomes a yearly deal.
Thanks again for the tickets, Yoda!

You're welcome, BlackJack. Thank you for all your support over the past year or so, including taking care of Ted during his two-day teaching stint in New York prior to the the Barclays. We appreciate so much each member and their words of encouragement as we pursue our mission day-by-day-by-day.
I would loved to have seen you at the clinic. Actually, I gave three today as an adjunct to the primary instruction in our pavilion and taught 43 of Barclays' private clients. The clinics were held on the practice greens of Westchester C.C. not more than 300 yards from the 18th green. As I think about it, you must have been at one of the afternoon sessions, either 2 PM or 4 PM. Had you given me the 'high sign', we could have spent a few minutes together after it was over. There will be another time.
Also, my sincere thanks to our own EdZ, who began the weekend as our tournament guest and wound up assisting me in the clinics on both Saturday and Sunday. We got it done, didn't we, Ed!
We're all home safe and sound now, and I will write more soon about this wonderful week. Meanwhile, it's late, and in the inimitable words of Scarlett O'Hara...
"Tomorrow is another day!"
