Follow all of the action live.The 2012 Florida Golf Day featured attendees from the Florida Golf Impact Task Force including: The Players Championship gets underway Thursday from TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The tournament showcases some major talent and one of the most unique layouts on the PGA Tour.
An interactive swing zone was set up at Waller Park, on the west side of the Capitol, featuring North Florida PGA Professionals and David Leadbetter, a renowned PGA Professional and coach to several prominent PGA, European, LPGA and Champions Tour players. Throughout the day, members of the golf industry met with key legislators, state agency heads and members of the Governor's Office to stress the importance of golf in Florida.
The par-5 16th, par-3 17th (the famous island green) and the par-4 18th are three of the best risk-reward holes in all of golf and often make for a lot of excitement on Sunday afternoon.
Length isn't as important here as accuracy. There are plentiful water hazards and tight landing areas. Four of the last eight winners led the field in greens in regulation for the week and three of the last seven champions led in driving accuracy.
All of the big names from golf are scheduled to play in the tournament except reigning Master's Champion Bubba Watson who has taken the week off to spend time with his wife and their son who was born just before the Masters.
The $9.5 million purse offered for the tournament certainly draws in many of the big names. The $1.7 million for the winner is one of the single biggest awards on the tour. That money and the big fish it draws, has given the Players the title of "fifth major," though it is unofficial.

It was only two years ago that being seen with a cell phone during The Players Championship was grounds for confiscation of the device or even removal from the property.
Now, The Players and the PGA Tour are not only allowing cell phones on the TPC Sawgrass Players Stadium Course during the tournament for the second year in a row, they're making it easier for fans to stay connected, with expanded wireless service and charging stations at three areas: the Benefactors hospitality tent, the Turn and the Stadium Village.

It was only a couple of weeks earlier, at Pebble Beach, that Mickelson, 41, made his own declaration with a redeeming, I’m-not-done-yet victory.
McIlroy is now the young man being chased — after last year’s stunning eight-shot victory in the U.S. Open and now his No. 1 rank — but the objects in his rear view mirror may be closer than they appear.
“Exciting times for golf,” as McIlroy put it with that Northern Ireland lilt. “I think it’s fantastic for the game, seeing Phil do what he did at Pebble and Tiger playing like he did (Sunday). And hopefully I’m in there somewhere, getting to No. 1. It’s good for the sport.”

No video of competition is allowed during the entire week, including practice rounds. No photos of competition are allowed during the tournament rounds.
Tour players said they've seen no increase in the number of cell-phone related distractions and some said the number of ring tones in their backswings has decreased as the Tour relaxed its policy.
"I don't see any difference," said Henrik Stenson. "I think the Tour knows that in this day and age, everyone has one and they want to be able to carry it with them. Most people are courteous about it during a tournament."
Credit Doral for that, and its famed Blue Monster course.
Credit the almost unbeatable tradition of this same pasture of manicured land hosting a PGA Tour event uninterrupted since 1962. Do the math. That makes this the 51st annual pro tournament for Doral as host, even if the WGC format has existed here only since 2007.
All of South Florida has swirled turbulently and dizzyingly and changed all around it, but the Blue Monster has been an oasis of tranquility and stability.

Jerry Kelly believes the number of incidents has actually gone down.
"When people weren't allowed to bring them to the golf course and tried to hide them, I think they had a tendency to leave the ringer on by accident," Kelly said. "Now that they can have them out in the open, people seem to be responsible enough to have them on vibrate or turn the ringer off. Overall, I think the fans have been very good about it."
The PGA Tour will have employees in their New Media department monitoring sites such as YouTube and Facebook to make sure fans aren't posting video or photos of live competition. Any such postings will be taken down.
Marshals and security have been trained to recognize fans taking photos and video of players and will put a halt to it.
"It's a rights issue," said Rapp. "We have official network partners and taking photos and video of players during competition is a distraction. It's about common sense and respect. If you use it, you won't have any issues."

A quick aside, then, to new Doral owner Donald Trump:
You are buying a famous course at a good time for the sport, but you are buying more than a property here.
You are assuming deed to a tradition.
