St. Pete golf enthusiasts experience a tournament amid a pandemic
Neither brisk weather or a pandemic stopped several spectators from following the leading golfers in the 95th New Year's Invitational at St. Petersburg Country Club. Masks and mittens were on hand as they watched Remi Chartier lead the score for the final round of the tournament. Families cozied up underneath the warmth of their blankets. Unbothered by the cold temperatures, even Frozen's Elsa got a glimpse of the green.
