The PGA Championship is a spectacle, and for the residents of Boulder Creek Lane in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, it's an event like no other. This year, the Siberski family and their neighbors have transformed their backyards into private viewing parties, offering an unparalleled experience that combines golf, community, and a unique perspective on the sport.
Doug Siberski, a non-golfer with a 12 handicap, has become the envy of his neighbors. His backyard, stretching along the fairway of the first hole at Aronomink Golf Club, provides a double-vantage point. He constructed a makeshift platform with scaffolding and a ladder, allowing him and his family to watch the golf tournament in style. The Siberski family's ingenuity doesn't stop there; they've even installed a ladder for their nephew, Pat Corcoran, to get a closer look at the green.
The neighbors, including the Hageneys, have joined forces to create a more elaborate setup. They rented platforms and scaffolding, ensuring a clear view of the entire hole and the course. The Hageneys, who are Aronomink members, went the extra mile by attaching a "Quiet Please" sign to remind their guests of the ongoing golf tournament. Their setup is slightly fancier, with handrails and stairs, and they even checked with the PGA to ensure their access was approved.
The Siberski family's unique situation has not gone unnoticed. They've received requests for free invites, but they know the value of their location. Doug humorously warns his neighbors not to tell anyone about their secret bonfire gathering, adding a touch of local color to the event.
This year's PGA Championship at Aronomink Golf Club has brought the community together, creating a sense of camaraderie and a shared love for the sport. The residents of Boulder Creek Lane have transformed their backyards into a hub of excitement, offering a front-row view of the tournament and a unique experience that will be remembered for years to come. It's a testament to the power of community and the joy of shared experiences.
