The Big Thanksgiving Golf Trip, Part 2: “A Side Trip to Dye for”

Today I played the big daddy, Player’s Stadium at Sawgrass. Incredible experience on an amazing course.
Yesterday afternoon I played the Dye’s Valley course at TPC Sawgrass. Very nice complement to the more famous Player’s Stadium course.
Sorry, I fell a bit behind. Yesterday morning I played the King & Bear course at the World Golf Village, which was co-designed by Palmer and Nicklaus. Very nice.
