Docs 2013 PGA Show Diary. The Scandal So Far.

We arrived in Orlando last Saturday for the 2013 PGA Show which kicks off in earnest today.  I’m meeting GMac at the Kartel booth to have a bit of fun on camera. In the best traditions of being Irish I had nothing prepared so asked 30 people in the Bahama Breeze bar last night for a question they would like to ask Graeme and wrote them on a beer mat. So I’m going with the 60 second beer mat challenge this morning; wish me luck!bronzes

Last Sunday we played Old Memorial Golf Club down near Tampa.  I teamed up with John Farren from Ballyliffin and Aine Mangan from East Coast Golf Alliance had head professional Marc Carter on her side. I’ve never seen anyone drive the ball as good as Marc, 300 yards plus every time but alas it was to be our day.  Johnny cannned four birdies and I had seven one-putts which earned us the cash!

old memorial toiletsOne of the highlights of the day was at the tenth green where a bronze of two men stand alongside the green; Tim Coughlan and Billy Minardi. Both were young men and members at Old Memorial who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks. Everybody who makes a birdie on the tenth (and it’s tough) leaves their ball at the two men’s feet.  Such a fantastic gesture by the members to honour the men in that way.  And John made a smashing birdie which was extra special.  This time last year John played the course with his best mate (and everyone’s friend) Connor Mallon, who has since passed away.  moneyMaybe Connor cajoled Tim and Billy into giving John the birdie there.  It’s like something he would do!

But what a place.  The clubhouse was immense, the bar, the showers, oh my God it was out of this world.  One hundred different toiletry products on offer for a shave! It’s a different world!

CIMG8248After taking the money off Marc and Aine, a measly five bucks!, we headed back up to Reunion for the Irish Golf Day.  Organized by John McCoughlan, Justin Farrell and Stacey Jane Williams, it was a fantastic day out.  I’m going to do a separate post on that in the next few days but for now a big clap on the back to the guys for giving us a great day out and here’s a pic of the winning team.

 

Yesterday, it was back to work at Demo Day of the PGA Show.  With my good CIMG8311mate Thomas TT Tanner on the camera, we managed to make 102 review videos for Golfbidder and poach people like Callaway CEO Chip Brewer, Cobra’s Tom Preece and some of the top guys in the game to show us what’s new for 2013. Poults was there too doing his thing.

Afterwards, because I was such a good boy, I got treated to a meal in Hooters!

Its off now into the PGA Show hall which is as big as five football pitches to find GMac for the beer mat challenge! Chat to you tomorrow.

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 two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

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 Montgomeri
