So it's Thursday night, a week after the beginning of the Ryder Cup in Minnesota, and I'm still smiling! Life has gotten in the way of getting Part 3 out sooner, but here it is!
I left off at coming home Wednesday night from the practice round which was AWESOME! It was so fun to see the players, the course, the fans, AND the Merchandise Tent! The Friday adventure came about sort of last minute (similar to Sunday)...I knew my friend Deb wanted to go, but I wasn't sure if she would be able to go with family or not. When she asked if Friday could work for me, the answer was of course YES!! We had our ticket adventure, finding some in our price range, and now we would be picking them up on our way to the gate.
While the practice round time was great, I have to admit being there for the actual competition was beyond my expectations...I wanted to experience the electricity, the passion, the people, and the sense of team. Ryder Cup Friday, here we come!!

I've been thinking about Sunday at the Ryder Cup all week...I wish I would have had time right after to get all of my blog posts done, but honestly, I was tired and had to get back to work and other projects waiting for me. I'm smiling right now at the opportunity to remember such a great day.
I headed back to the Twin Cities (for the 3rd time in a week!) on Saturday afternoon to stay with my brother so we could go to the final Sunday Singles matches at the Ryder Cup being held at Hazeltine. I spent the evening before watching what happened during the Saturday matches on Golf Channel and spent some quality time with my nieces & nephew.
Sunday morning came quickly! The matches were not starting until 11:10am, so we headed out to catch the bus around 9:30am. We decided to use the Southwest Metro shuttles this time because they were closer than going to Canterbury and we had a drop off and pick up crew (Thanks Kim!!). There were quite a few people there when we arrived, but the line moved fairly quickly - they were filling the buses and had stand up riders in the aisle. It was $5 per person, but it was worth it.
