Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic 2007

Here they come! This is the famous 18th hole on Course 2. Anthony said as they got to the tee box, an ESPN reporter informed them that they would be recorded by three different cameras during this hole and interviewed mid-way through. He said he started to worry about it with that much attention! :) It was so funny to see the crowds...who were there for the celebrities of course, but still funny because it completely felt like a "real" tournament (7500 spectators from what we were told!)! I was so proud to be out there following and supporting my man! :)

A picture with Stone Phillips!

He really was the most down to earth, friendly guy!

Anybody remember President Logan from 24! I was so excited to get a picture with him. He even admitted the enjoyment he got out of playing the "bad" president! :) There were many other celebrities at the tournament but I wasn't interested in athletes and soap stars! I found the two men I was looking for and I'm excited to have pictures to prove it! :)

Anthony's colleague Janice, with President Logan...OK, his real name is Gregory Itzin but I know him as President Logan.

Stone was familiar with this hole and giving pointers, Anthony was glad to have the advice!

a lot of discussion about the best way to handle this hole!

The Stone Phillips Team...Anthony and his clients!

The final score board!

A group from Ft. Bragg started off the night singing Carolina, God Bless America, and An American Soldier. It was truly an amazing moment and your heart was full for what all the soldiers are doing for us!

All dressed up with a place to go! We had a great time at the Gala and Auction on Saturday night, although we were quite beat afterwards! We are in the phase of life where you eat at 5:30pm and go to bed at 10:30pm! We weren't served dinner until 8pm and weren't back in our room until after midnight! I'm not used to that! It was a wonderful time and so fun to spend it together!

Another place in time...

The Carolina Hotel at Pinehurst
This whole weekend was amazing! As you can see the grounds were gorgeous and the atmosphere was incredible! We had the best time! I was able to walk around and take it all in, relax, go to the spa, have a weekend with Anthony. It was just what I needed! Anthony was able to have two days of incredible world class golf and it was so fun to see him interacting with his clients! He was in his element and I was so proud! This will be a weekend I know we will both remember for a very long time! We are already looking forward to next year! :) If you don't know anything about Pinehurst, check out their website through the link. There is such history at this place and it's truly a golfer's dream!

I spent the afternoon getting a massage and facial! I felt like royalty! That was a real treat! I had to get ready for the Gala! :)

The Holly Inn

There are three hotels on property, The Carolina, The Holly Inn, The Manor Inn, and there are also Villas. We stayed at The Holly Inn and I'm so glad. It was so quaint and absolutely beautiful. It was quieter than the main hotel, The Carolina. I would go and eat breakfast at The Carolina Dining Room in the morning and that place would take you back to another place in time. Did you ever see that movie "Somewhere in Time"? Reminds you of that time period.

The grounds were so lovely and beautifully landscaped!

Our room...just perfect!

An encounter with Stone Phillips...

Anthony and I are away for the weekend. The Williams' came up to watch the boys so we could go to Pinehurst. Anthony is playing in the Nike Cup tomorrow and the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic on Sunday. These are the FUN perks of his job. Can you believe he can actually call this WORK!!! Anyway, tonight we had a Pairings Party on the lawn to find out what celebrity Anthony's foursome will be paired with. Right before we found out, Anthony whispered that STONE PHILLIPS was behind us. I peeked and was so excited to see him! So we saw their names up on the screen and Saturday they are playing with Seth Joyner (former Football player for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Denver Broncos) and then on Sunday they are playing with STONE PHILLIPS!! When we saw his name, the guys all turned around and said, "hey, we're playing with you on Sunday!" He was so great! He shook all of our hands and was SO friendly! I TOTALLY wanted to take a picture for all of you but I felt like I would look like a complete and total loser! Nobody was taking pictures or holding cameras except the professionals and not to mention all the celebrities walking around, this was a pretty high class group of people. I didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb!!! So anyway, Anthony said he'll try to get a picture when they golf together on Sunday! Yipeee! :) More later.....
