Cowboys Fans Descend on Congressional
This is when I knew it was gonna be bad. We were on the 12th fairway, Tiger and Tony's third hole, when I saw a father and daughter in matching Romo jerseys perched around the green. That would be Joe Ramirez from Mechanicsburg PA, along with his five-year old daughter Dallas. Yeah, Dallas.
"Better than naming her Washington," he said.
And this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sports fans, is why you don't invite the Cowboys quarterback to play with the tournament host in Bethesda, even if they are both friends with Hank Haney. Honestly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for a good part of the day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it felt like being at FedEx Field on a certain late fall Monday evening, with a certain black and gold fan base emerging from dark vans like cockroaches, the kind of cockroaches that wear those gloating little smirks and whisper bad things about your treasured civic institutions under their breath.
The numbers today were exponentially smaller,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Cowboys stuff was everywhere in that mob of people following Tiger and Tony. Just everywhere. Fathers, sons, daughters, old friends, new friends,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hats and shirts and jerseys and visors. Everywhere. It rankled the soul, made your Gatorade Tiger Focus stick in your craw. But for most of the day, especially the early morning hours, it was all love from the crowd.
"People were nice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Romo said. "People inherently are good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think, and it was a good reception out here. There's a lot more Cowboys fans than I thought,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but even the Washington fans, it's just all in good fun, the way the day went. You know what to expect a little bit, but honestly, people were very respectful."
There were some who wanted to mouth off. There was Jim Davis from Gaithersburg, in a Skins polo and Skins hat, on the 15th green. "This isn't section 400 at the stadium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I guess we're a little more polite," he said. "If someone else was doing it, I would join in."
"I haven't had the chance," said Jim Duke from Potomac, on the 16th fairway. "Given the opportunity, I'll do my part."
The two Zahady brothers, ages 7 and 9 3/4 and both wearing Romo, were heckled on a shuttle bus, with passengers saying no Cowboys fans were allowed. "Are you kidding me?"
And there were the more vocal ones; Del Lynch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in an Art Monk hat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shouted out to "Hit it like it's December" from a few feet behind Romo on the 7th tee, and Chris Wellde from Ellicott City let a "Let's Go Redskins!" rip from the 9th. "Deservedly so, coming into Redskins territory," Wellde said. And when a starter on that 7th tee asked for a nice Washington Redskins welcome for the visiting quarterback, there was a chorus of boos, just like there was during the Opening Shot festivities an hour later.
But still, everywhere you looked that dang star.
"Tiger and Tony together, you can't beat it," said Chauncey Strong, 39, of Alexandria. "To have the quarterback of the Cowboys with Tiger, my God. You can't beat it at all."
Antonio Infante asked course officials whether his jersey was inappropriate; not because of the colors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but because it was a football jersey on a golf course. They said he was fine, so he wore Romo, too.
"My quarterback's out here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Cowboys fans shouted out congratulations after Romo hit the fairway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], roared when he out-drove Tiger, and wished their quarterback good luck in the upcoming season.
Indeed, the crowd following Antwaan Randle El and Jason Campbell was considerably smaller, though that might have been more about Mike Weir and Tiger Woods and less about Tony Romo, one would hope. And the crowd following Tiger also included Red Sox t-shirts, Yankees hats, Penguins hats, University of Kentucky hats, pink Cowboys hats, New York Giants hats, Broncos hats, Dolphins hats, and a guy in a LeBron James jersey. So let's just hope No. 9 jerseys don't become a staple for the rest of this week.

Jim, the world needs leaders. Not followers. This "if somebody else was doing it, I would join in" crap is why a hated Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback went through our Congressional Country Club unscathed. I wish I could have taken the day off to be there and heckle him myself, but for those of you that were there and did nothing but watch in silence, you have dishonored your city, your team, and yourself.
I agree there isn't a more pro-capitals, pro-capitals fan reporter in the country. It's the other teams he continuously barages with snarky back handed posts. My problem is Dan especially looks for ways to beat up the Redskins, whether its on this blog or on comcast sportsnet. I had a great time. My daughter was miserable, but that's another story. I found the skins fans to be more than hospitable. We found common ground in the fact that the course wasn't swarmed by Eagles fans. I didn't notice anyone being disruptive during Tony's backswing and I can't believe that the online community would be this vile.
