West Coast Highlights

So once again, the West Coast swing has gone by in a blink of an eye! I can't believe that it is already over...It is our favorite part of the year, but also the busiest. Here are some of the highlights!

Pre Tournament week ~ Hawaii

It all started with a basketball game with the President Elect, Barack Obama



Security was high



I guess word travels fast when the future President is in town




Mercedes-Benz Championship ~ Maui

Friends and Family joined us in the Mercedes Celebration



Parker's best friend Max proposed to his girlfriend Margaux




Sony Open ~ Oahu

This is what you do when you don't get to play on the weekend at the Sony Open...
Bocce Ball



& Canoeing at Sunset!!!



FBR Open ~ Phoenix

To jump start the week, Parker and I hosted a wine tasting on Monday of the FBR with Destination Cellars and Duckhorn Winery





Dave, one of Parker's best friend's, caddied for him at the FBR and helped him earn the first Top 20 finish of the year!






Buick Invitational ~ San Diego

I can't believe I made the February issue of InStyle Magazine! My head is the size of a pencil dot but its there!!! (I am just one of the 50 women surrounding Justin Timberlake during the Las Vegas Tournament in the bottom left photo!)




AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am ~ Pebble Beach

This is where we host our version of the Clambake!



And after getting paired with Phil Mickelson for the first 3 rounds of the AT&T, Phil graciously invited our group out for dinner (and our good friend even captured a quick pic with him!)



Northern Trust Open ~ Los Angeles

Only in LA would we get the opportunity to meet Bradley Bayou, a fashion designer to the stars and author of The Science of Sexy



Parker and UCLA Alumni including Kevin Chappel, Brandt Jobe, Scott McCarron, & Tom Pernice were introduced at half time during the Thursday night UCLA Basketball game against Washington



My grandparents even had the chance to enjoy their very first PGA TOUR Golf Tournament!



Finally, the weekend provided us with a little time off to go support Parker's brother Spencer in his Stanford Volleyball match against Northridge

Those are just some snapshots of our "off course" adventures! It has been a great West Coast swing! Thanks to everyone who made the effort to be there to share in these moments with us. It makes this journey truly incredible when we can share it with family and friends! See you in Florida!
