Big Day for New England Sports

For whatever reason the two biggest tour sports, NASCAR and the PGA Tour, come to New England the same weekend. It would actually be great if they were in seperate weeks so you could go to both.

I actually didn't go to either. I have taken part in the weeks festivities at NHMS twice and Travelers once. Never attended the main event, but smaller events like the celebrity pro-am and qualifying.

I followed both today on television. Both were entertaining. Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch battled at the end of the Lenox Tools 301 and in Cromwell there had to be a playoff to determine a winner.

I found both events captivating. I was dying to go do things outside in the nice weather but I couldn't leave the screen, especially with the golf because I saw all of the players choking. It felt good to know that I can play just as poorly as they did while coming down the stretch when I play.

In all seriousness though both events are in my opinion well run and fun to attend. I wish I had gone to either one. The golf today actually only featured two players choking. Three players played well at the end and made the tournament fun to watch. Had I been in the area I would have gone.

I actually did look to see how much it cost to have a membership to TPC River Highlands. Price was unlisted. I would have to request information to find out.
