OK, here was the bonus....I got to see the space shuttle from the 18th hole.
After the round was over, I scored a Dilly Bar at the DQ...life is good! I don't think Sawgrass has a DQ within 20 miles of it's facility.

At it's roots, golf is about getting a little white (or purple) ball into a little cup. The ball has no clue where it's at....be it Sawgrass....your local course....or Fiesta Falls. Ty Webb had it right in his classic Caddyshack observation: "Just be the ball."
