Yesterday Jenny and I spent the day the at the Memorial Tournament in Columbus. We had an excellent time. Just the two of us. We love going to the Memorial and seeing guys like Tiger, Ernie Els, Brad Faxon, and Stewart Cink up close. Those dudes are ridiculously good...sick even.
When we first arrived, we walked a bit, followed Kenny Perry (Natalie's favorite golfer) for a bit and then we headed off to have lunch in a VIP tent (yeah...we had a sweet hook-up).
After lunch we planted ourselves in a great spot on #16 (a par 3) and watched nearly every grouping play through.
I give Mrs. Bunn a ton of credit for A. wanting to go and B. hanging in there. She likes to see the guys. And she had plenty of questions/observations about golf. But I must tell you...at least 50% of the conversation was about fashion. Yup, Jenny Bunn, apparently, is a PGA Tour fashion critic.
So, I thought you all might like to know some of what she had to say...
This is
Sergio Garcia putting his socks on after playing a ball out of the creek at #15. His pants were still wet by the time he got to us at #16 but Jenny didn't know he had just been in the water. She was wondering what was up with his two-toned pants. Tacky.
She did, however, give him credit for wearing color. She says earth tones and neutrals are out...color is in. So Sergio gets some credit but not a ton.
Aaron Baddeley needs to lose the white belt...according to Mrs. Bunn. Then she noticed it was a quite popular look among the Australian and European players. But she's still not sold on it. Again, she likes the color...his overall look needs "tweaked" though.
Side note here...As Aaron Baddeley played through, Jenny and I had a chuckle together as we considered what would happen if our daughter Natalie married Aaron Baddeley's son....Natalie Baddeley. Well...we thought it was funny.
Jesper Parnevik. Jesper, Jesper, Jesper. European. Enough said, I guess. The hat, well...you know...that's his thing. Mrs. Bunn gives him credit for having a unique thing going for him...but overall, she was not impressed.
By the way, she was particularly critical of each golfer's shoe choice. Jesper's was okay. She was especially tough on the guys who wore white or cream-colored pants with black shoes. I guess that's a no-no.
She thinks Tiger generally does very well. Nothing flashy or attention-grabbing, but always fairly classy. But again, she likes color so Tiger didn't rate especially high with her on Friday.
If you ever get the chance to go watch pro golf with Jenny Bunn...you're in for a treat. Play-by-play fashion commentary. Very fun. Very cool.
I asked her what the golfers might have to say about what she was wearing yesterday. She thought they might say to her: "Honey, you need a bigger budget for clothing."
Yeah...easy for them to say.
