MARKETFRIDAY AT THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP

PLACES TO EAT AT TPC SAWGRASS, PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA


Today, Friday May 11, I had a day off from volunteering as a marshal at The Players Championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and one of the perks of volunteering is that we can use our passes to watch the tournament as spectators when we are not on duty.

So, I took advantage of that for a while this afternoon and walked around for a little bit, focusing on taking pictures of places to eat and drink around the course for @dswigle's #marketfriday, which I always seem to miss! Of course, I did not hit every eating place, but the following is a sampling.

This is the refreshment area near the 6th green where I volunteer. It's a popular spot for humans and raccoons too we discovered yesterday! When the morning volunteers showed up for duty they encountered six raccoons feasting on oranges and potato chips, and one even approached the chair of one of my fellow marshals and stole a doughnut from a bag that was hanging on this chair - all this while golfers were busy putting on the green!

There is something for everyone on the course, so if you plan on coming out for the weekend, come hungry!

And last, but not least, Darlene's Diner has the best food on the course, and the prices are unbeatable ($2.00 for a hamburger, 50c for french fries, $2.00 for a grilled chicken salad etc.) but there is a catch to gaining access. You have to be a volunteer to use it, and you won't find it without having access to Volunteer Village! It is run by volunteers, the food is all donated and every penny we spend there goes to charity!

Thanks! It's TPC Sawgrass - a golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida!

BEAUTIFUL day to be out and about!

It was beautiful, but too hot for me to walk around and then stand at the various holes! I prefer doing my marshaling duty when we can sit in the shade in between players. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for stopping by to comment. Yes, it was a fun day, but I’m volunteering for today’s and tomorrow’s afternoon shift as we are short staffed at Hole 6. I actually prefer that to walking around, as I get to be behind the ropes with the players.

That must have been a fun day for you. So nice out too!

Just beautiful, but a bit too hot in the sun.

OMGosh! Reading about your little visitors stealing the donut just about had me on the floor laughing! That was too funny!

They must have an "in" with someone!

Darlene's seems like a fair trade-off. I especially like that they donate the proceeds! Very nice!

Thanks for joining us, I need to do the same and branch out a little more. I just wonder how everyone else can do it? I must be that slow!
