Event 7 – When I Attended the Presidents Cup by Myself
With the Royal Montreal Golf Club’s clubhouse in the backdrop, the author took a moment at the first tee of the Presidents Cup to pose in front of the Canadian flag.
Much like the other major golf championships I've attended, this one had a large open area with concessions, seating, and giant video screens for fans.
