San Antonio, Texas, October 13, 2011 - As with any typical Pro Am, the field is full of who’s who folk.
For the second day, former NBA legend, Bruce Bowen was teeing it up at the AT&T Championship Pro Am. Bowen, a three time NBA Champion, played today with his old buddy Sean Elliott. Yes, the same Sean Elliott who thrust the once mediocre San Antonio Spurs to their first of (so far) 4 NBA titles.
Why all the talk about the NBA on in a golf article on a golf site? Well, you as you know the NBA is in a downward sprial right now. And, as any good journalist would do, I took an opporunity to talk to Bowen and Elliott about the current NBA situation. Unfortunately, both declined to comment.
Today the duo were playing with Corey Pavin, and a couple of local businessmen, from what I was told. “Lucky for us basketball guys that there are a couple of guys in our group that can play golf.” chuckled Bowen as they came toward the first tee (their fourth hole).
Tomorrow is the start of tournament play, with one of the marquee groupings teeing off at 11:07am; Tom Watson, Fred Couples, and Tom Lehman. So, those of you in the San Antonio area, make sure you take off early for the weekend and head out to TPC San Antonio and catch some of the excitement of the Champions Tour.
