I saw him in '05 and then by very random chance in Sydney in '06, but since then has not made the trip to Melbourne! So this week was my first chance in 3 years at the Aussie Masters. Bought the tickets fairly early on and yesterday on Pro-Am day, the moment came :D
I woke up at 5.40am. Drove down to boganland Heatherton/Moorabbin/Cheltenham and reached 6.40am. Walked to the gates - 6.45am. (Tee-off was 7.15am!) Checked out practice green and driving range and still not there. But then he emerged! Mmmm I just stood there and watched ha ha. As he exited managed to speak to him and get my cap and Sport&Style signed. Was happy :) Then walked 6km round the course in 35+C heat for 5 hours just to follow him. He was so sweet though with kiddos and an amazing lot of autographs. So patient. Even managed to chat to him a bit and when I said "See you on the weekend" he goes "Will do. See you there!" :)
So at the end of the day I ended up with sore calves, white shoes that were not white anymore, dirt on my legs, 100+ photos, TWO autographs and ONE photo of me and him (though there was another one but CAMERA DIED! Worst.):

And a few others:


Even got a pretty close-up view of Tiger - by chance! Amongst the sweaty crowd crush XD
