Mike Bailey: Sans a PGA Tour golf event, Begay and Turning Stone get Tiger Woods

In case you're wondering if Tiger Woods will tee it up again this year, wonder no more. According to his good friend Notah Begay's website, Woods will be part of the field for the annual Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation Challenge. An elite group will tee it up on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at Turning Stone Resort's Atunyote Golf Club on Oneida Indian Nation lands near Verona, N.Y. The question is, of course, will that be Woods' first event back? If that's the case, he would miss the PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club, but I'm thinking if Woods feels pretty good, he'll want to tee it up in the year's final major, but who knows? In any event, Turing Stone, which until this year hosted a PGA Tour event, might be getting its just due. No matter what you think of Woods, he's arguably the most recognized athlete in the world, and any chance to see him, albeit not in a PGA Tour event, will draw huge galleries. Add Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, Begay as well as Annika Sorenstam, Cristie Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and Natalie Gulbis, and it should be pretty entertaining. By the way, the event, which is designed to raise awareness and funding for the well being of Native American youth on Indian reservations nationwide, was originally scheduled to be played July 5, but moved to "ensure the strongest possible field for the event." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what that means, but good for Begay and Turning Stone getting Woods to commit. The retired Sorenstam is a pretty good draw as well. "Notah's Foundation does wonderful things for Native American youth, and I'm happy to be a part of that mission," Sorenstam said. "The great work his foundation does aligns closely with my efforts to fight childhood obesity. It's a cause we can all get behind, and one I'm excited to continue supporting by playing in the NB3 Foundation Challenge." The event has raised more than $2.4 million to support the foundation's mission during its first three years. Click here to leave a comment for Mike Bailey (AKA The Accidental Golfer).

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
