Robert and I had fun at the FedEx Cup Tour Championship by Coca-Cola here in Atlanta.

I took some photos of the flower arrangements that I thought were pretty. Here is one in the Champions Tent on the 17th green.

 Another on the walkway at the 18th.
It's always a good thing to take photos of the arrangements that you like and keep them for future reference. You can copy them later and look like a real professional florist!


 And here are the trophies surrounded by roses! Really beautiful.  Jordan Spieth won today. He’s 22 years old and just won 11 million dollars. What a day!

The tournament is held at East Lake Golf Club. Once one of the worst sections of the city now is one of the better areas in town thanks to developer Tom Cousins.  He bought the nearly bankrupt club,  restored the clubhouse which was designed by architect Neel Reid in 1914 and began transforming the surrounding community. He build the first charter school in Atlanta and began building mixed income housing there. Cousins also began First Tee of East Lake. The program exposes disadvantaged youth to the game of golf. It’s growing into a great community.

East Lake Golf Club then and now.
