Travelers Pro Am Golf Event-Cromwell, CT 6/23/2010
Hello everyone, My friend and I attended the Pro Am Golf event in Cromwell, CT yesterday.
It was hot as HADES and more humid than anyone can imagine. We had a great time, despite the heat and humidity. Michael was so generous and kind with his time and attention he gave the fans the entire day.. He was so funny and seem to have a great time being back on the golf course. He said it's been some time since he's been able to play golf. He's had a crazy schedule with no golf on it lately. He chatted here and there with me as we progressed around the course during the day and with others too that were following his group. He didn't have his best round of golf but he had some great shots when everything went right.. He is a great golfer.. His foursome had the pro, a friend of his and also Actor Rob Morrow, he's got the TV show NUMBERS now but I remember him on the TV Program Northern Exposure quite some time ago. He's a very good golfer.. It was nice seeing MB play again and despite the heat and humidity, I did manage to walk the course the 5 hours it took to play( Well all but the one hole we couldn't get to the way the course was layed out-we made a wrong turn-caught him at the next one)..We had an average size group following him and at different holes crowds were sitting in the shade to watch each group play through. MB would stop and sign anything people brought and quickly pose for photos if asked after they played the hole and were moving to the next. He had to keep catching up to his group with doing all that for the fans.. He had to run to catch up also one time due to being interviewed by the media. He also walked sometimes close to where we were to catch up..It was a more casual atmosphere than at a concert and it's nice to see Michael relaxed and having a good time, along with all of us in the heat. LOL That was the talk of the day!!! Ugh!!! I had some things signed including my copy of the USA release of the new CD, and the card sent by the floral company from the Twitterparty contest where I won the call and also a photo I took of the flower arrangement that was sent. He commented how it was a nice arrangement and how funny it was to him that the one call was me..(A fan that he's known for some time.) I said I thought it was funny too. He's got a very busy schedule and I can see he is tired and he's hopefully going to get a break now. He's not slowing down, he said they want more shows and that is great! So I think we will continue to see more shows added to the schedule as time moves forward. There were quite a few men lined up for autographs from Michael as well, not just women. Some had some older vinyl albums and things like that. He seemed to enjoy seeing those things appear to be signed!! He was talking about how he loved the countries he's been to recently, he mentioned China and Australia both. He said to a fan that the people in China know the words to his songs.
I have pictures of Michael and will post some in the gallery over the next day or two.
Michael never disappoints his fans and it's always worth it. Nothing a shower and some good food didn't fix afterwards!!LOL We had gone to a Pro Am event 7 years ago and watched him play at this same course and we enjoyed it so much that time, we wanted to go again this year. I always enjoy driving to CT and this trip was a fun time with my good friend and seeing other fans and getting to see Michael play golf for the day. That was worth every ounce of sweat and every step I took around the golf course to do it!!LOL TPC at River Highlands in Cromwell, CT is a beautiful course and I enjoyed seeing it again.
Thanks Michael, (We made it to the end!!LOL)
EDITED TO ADD THAT I NOW HAVE A PHOTO ALBUM FROM THIS EVENT IN THE GALLERY SECTION OF THE FORUM. Feel free to save any of my pics for your own enjoyment, I just want to get the credit for taking them. Thanks!!! I hope you like them.

Amazing photographs and a really beautiful and interesting review Robin.
Thank you so much for sharing the pictures with us all. I have saved a couple of them for my own personal use if you dont mind.
Michael did look really relaxed and as if he was having fun. In the video clip, I wondered if he looked a bit flustered but now with your photos I can see he was still managing to have some fun.
Thank you again for managing to stay the 'whole course' in the sun and in the sweltering heat.
Love Jennifer XXX

I don't mind if you save some of the pics Jennifer. I have gone to some of these golf events before that MB has participated in for charities and that kind of thing. It's fun and it took 5 hours to walk the course but it was worth it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat and will hopefully get to again if he does it again next year. He was relaxed in the video too, just he had to do things quickly between holes and that was just about 45 seconds of time you saw there and he had fun all day, didn't have to manage to have fun, he was having fun other than a few times he wasn't liking his golf game but he was having a good time LOL. He really was fine and enjoying all the attention and laughing with the fans and such.
Robin
