I went into work and a friend and co-worker just happened to have a spare ticket for the Tuesday practice round of the 2009 Presidents Cup held at Harding Park Municipal Golf Course, in San Francisco. I took my lunch break hoping to get a glimpse of the tourney's big players such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh. It turned out that I got to see much much more. The day was gorgeous. No fog, no wind, and it was unseasonably warm. Perfect golf weather.

The course was in great condition, and everything looked amazing. There was plenty of fun distractions to pass the time away like Tiger Woods Wii Golf, Food, and shopping, but I wanted to see who was on the course.
The International Group was the first one I stumbled upon. Big Ernie Els and Vijay Singh leading the charge.
