JTOG Day 11: Bloggers, Breakfast & Birdies at TPC San Antonio!

Bloggers, Breakfast & Birdies at JW Marriott & TPC San Antonio on the Way to Rio

Here is a great combination—golf (the par-3 16th) and resort living at TPC San Antonio!

I left Dallas early in the morning and drove down I-35 to San Antonio to make the breakfast. By noon I was officially a blogger and by 4pm I was out on the AT&T Oaks Course making bogeys. If you invite me to an event I will be as true as I can be to your event. If it is Bloggers, Breakfast & Bogeys, I mean Birdies, then I will do my best! Unfortunately my best may not be good enough. In 29 holes of golf played I failed to make one birdie though I did meet a lot of the biggest and best bloggers out there and enjoyed several fantastic meals including the Sunday breakfast which was really a brunch!

This was another fun stop on my way to Rio for sure! We played a little team event and somehow I won a n Adam Scott signed TPC San Antonio flag. He won the 2010 Valero Texas Open and has won 11 times on the PGA TOUR, including being the first Australian to win The Masters in 2013. The comfort, convenience and luxury of staying on site at the JW Marriott was unbelievable. With the Champions Tour coming in that week for the AT&T Championship I felt like a pro myself. They were playing the AT&T Canyons Course while we knocked it around on the AT&T Oaks Course which hosts the Valero TExas Open in late March just two weeks before The Masters. With 1,001 rooms and two great golf courses and a million amenities, including a water park for kids, young and old alike, the JW Marriott and TPC San Antonio is a Texas-sized resort not to be missed.

Tomorrow, I capture my best ‘Spirit of Olympic Golf’ video from a Champions Tour player with a lot of heart, before heading over to Houston to complete the Texas Triangle of Dallas, San Antonio and Houston.

Chip Gist gave me a great tour of the Texas Wall of Fame in the Clubhouse, what a legacy of golf in Texas!
