It’s 6:32 a.m. when I pulled through the gates of Edgewood golf course. It’s early, but the course is already bustling with grounds people prepping the course and police officers doing sweeps of all the tents around the course. The course is in pristine condition. There is nothing like a golf course in the early morning, dew glistening on the fairways and greens. It’s 58 degrees with a slight wind.

As I got to 18, there is one solo golfer on the putting green. Arizona Cardinal defensive back Patrick Peterson is practicing in peaceful solitude. A few minutes later Kevin Millar, formerly of the Red Sox and ex-49er great Steve Young walk into the practice area.
