The Exelon Invitational

Monday I will be attending the 11th Exelon Invitational hosted by Jim Furyk. The annual event, which benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, will be held at The Ace Club on Ridge Avenue in Lafayette Hill. The Ace Club is a Gary Player signature course, which was used for The Golf Channel's "Playing Lessons with the Pros" segment featuring The Black Knight. This year's Exelon Invitational features, in addition to Furyk, PGA Tour pros Kenny Perry, Anthony Kim and Paul Casey. They will play a two-man teams fourball match for a purse of $305,000, with the winning team splitting $120,000 and the runners-up $120,000. I attended last years event and had a great time! It is awesome to watch the pros in person. They swing so effortlessly, yet hit the ball a mile and very accurately. It is also an opportunity to peek into their bags and see firsthand what clubs they play. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $40. Gates open at 11 a.m. and the match begins at 12:15 p.m.
