Boeing Classic

Back in August, I got to to be a spectator at the Boeing Classic. Since, Alexis' mom lives in Snoqualmie she receives 4 free passes thisChampions Golf Tournament. I really enjoyed not only the golf but the beautiful setting in which the golf course is located. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Must be rough to have to shoot from the ruff in such a beautiful place.

At the tee on the 12th hole there is a view of Snowqualmie Falls.

The beautiful view of the 13th hole. I spent a lot of time at this hole and the 17th hole because you could watch the golfers both tee off and put since it was a par 3.

The 17th hole was my favorite. We just had really good view of the golfers teeing off and then putting. On the last day of the tournament we were at the 17th hole and there was a guy snoring nearby. He slept through some amazing shots. When Cochran birdied on this hole to tie for first place with Calcavecchia going into the final hole, the sleeping spectator finally woke up from the cheers of the crowd.

View from the 18th hole; isn't it just spectacular. I really did enjoyed the golf even though most of my pictures are of the landscape.

Since Cochran and Calcavecchia were tied after 18 holes they had to play the 18th hole again. It was pretty exciting and here is Calcavecchia making his winning shot.

Since it is called the Boeing Classic, Boeing has a flyby each year. This year a 787 Dreamliner was the star of the show; it was pretty neat.

The pilot on his way back towards us tipped the wing.
