#TBT: The Barclays - Liberty National

Here is a checklist of sporting events for everybody to attend this year, in no particular order:

1. PGA golf match
2. Horse Race
3. MLB baseball game
4. well you get the point...

Classic American sports are in this year. American sport has returned to its beginnings as the "game-day experience" is even more important. All three of these events are better served on site. Let's take a look into the Barclays, the first event of the PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs.

Tell me any other event where you can sit on a grassy hill and take in professional sport with a backdrop as beautiful as this. Sun setting over the beautiful Liberty National golf course in Jersey City, NJ. Never will this be achieved at an NFL game.

Sperry, always approved out on the golf course. Classic American sport means classic American style. Don't be caught looking like Joe Shmoe out on the golf course. This isn't the place for Air Jordans. 

Often the best golf you will find on the course involves some of the players least followed. Pictured here is Hunter Mahan waiting on Stewart Cink to take his approach shot.

Be on the lookout and you might even be lucky enough to see a Tiger in its natural habitat! Lookout though, with Tiger comes a large crowd of adventure seekers.
