LIV Golf - Virginia

LIV Golf - Virginia

Sterling, VA

This event was nearby so I decided to spend a couple days walking the golf course. I wish I could have brought my Nikon D5 into the event but camera's with detachable lenses were not allowed. Since there wasn't any parking near the course and I had to ride a shuttle in, I did not want to chance it and get turned away. So I did the best I could with the Android camera on my phone.

I followed Bryson DeChambeau and got a lot of shots of him as well as other players plus I got some shots of the golf course. There are issues with Blogger preventing me from uploading photos in order but I was able to sort them by day. As always for a larger version of the photo just click it.

LIV Golf has been around since 2022 and it appears as this may be the last year of the tour. You can look up the reasons why as I won't go into it here but it was summed up nicely here in an X (Formerly Twitter) post from radio host Steve Czaban. 

"My net-net from LIV Golf Virginia was simple: as a golf nerd, it was great! But alas… one could sense the end of the road looming. If you love golf, get it now before it’s gone. The Kemper Open ain’t walking through that door anytime soon!"

Photos by Dad: 1980's Chevy Chase Club

My Dad passed away in March 2021. In going through his belongings, my sister and I came across a bunch of slides. So I had some of them converted digitally.

Dad loved golf and photography. This is Chevy Chase Club taken in the early 1980's.

While my parents and other members of my family belonged there, I caddied, worked in the bag room and on the golf maintenance staff during Summer vacations. I played the course often. I also got to play in several Father - Son tournaments with Dad. 

I met a lot of folks there over the years. Worked with some good friends that I am still in touch with to this day. The course and club will always be special to me.
