  Yes you heard it right!

You can watch Chuck

Liddell of UFC fame,

amongst many other

celebrities at the 

Tahoe Celebrity Golf

Week on July 14-19th

2009. It is also the

20th Anniversary

celebration of  Lake Tahoe’s American Century Championship.  (by the way we were just

kidding about that slice Chuck! We love you Dude!)  For those of you who love to mingle

with celebrity types you still have a chance, as they are still seeking about 400 volunteers

 for the Celebrity Golf Week! If interested, you can sign up by clicking HERE!  

There is prize money of $ 600,000 (not that  most of these guys would need it!) and the

event will be televised by NBC Sports.

The players list features 96 celebrities such as Charles Barkley (that should be an event in itself!)

NBA legend MIchael Jordan;  FORMER (!) World Champion Boxer oscar de la hoya (you don’t

deserve to have your name in capital letters as I am still upset about that loss , not to mention

the money I LOST!) ; Ray Romano of Everybody Loves Raymond fame, and former US Vice

President  Dan Quayle (is he still alive?! ) whose prior fame include an IG Nobel Prize (it’s usually

given out to for completely  useless studies, like using Coke as spermicidal) and making quotes

that I am sure one day will be framed on school walls and Hospitals , such as ”  [it's] time for 

the Human Race to enter the Solar system” and ” The Holocaust was an obscene period in our

nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t  live

in this century.”  

So ultimately it should be a very entertaining day for everyone!

Is The 14yr Old Sensation Alexis Thompson The Next Michelle Wie?

Alexis Thompson about to putt

So is she going to be the next Michelle Wie? Not to be mean , but hopefully not, after having seen some of Michelle Wie’s downward spiral!

The young phenomenon actually first appeared on the pro tour when she was only  12!  At the time She was the youngest player to ever qualify for the US Open. (the prior record holder  who was only 6 months older at the time is now 20 year old Morgan Pressel.) Even though the Florida native did miss the cut in 2008 US Women’s Open, it didn’t bother her a bit.  

Hey, when you are 14 and you have all your life ahead of you to prove yourself , you wouldn’t be stressing over a little bump on the road either!  We are going to keep an eye on you , because we are pretty sure this wan’t the last time we heard from  Alexis Thompson!

Ex Hockey Player Jerry Kelly Claims The Zurich Classic

jerry kelly claims Zurich Classic

The 5 foot 11 former Hockey player from Wisconsin

kisses his hard earned trophy, after claiming the

Zurich Classic title behind a final-round 71.

Not to forget that he also took home  $1.1 million

apparently — the largest paycheck of his career.

Good for you!

“Can’t feel much better than to win a golf tournament

outside of my family life,” Kelly said afterward. “This

has been a long time coming.”

At the Zurich, he posted four under-par rounds of

68-66-69-71 to claim his third career title and first

in seven years. During that span, Kelly has finished

as high as 17th on the final money list and never made the cut in fewer than 15 events.

“I think the swing held up fantastic,” said Kelly, who led the field in greens in regulation

this week. “I played better on the back side than I did on the front side.

I really didn’t miss many shots on the front. … I was happy with the way I struck it

on the front, but I struck it even better on the back. That’s a testament to the swing

that is getting better all the time.”

Kelly is what Kiper might call a sleeper pick. Doesn’t have the greatest tools

in the game, but he proved once again Sunday that he can get the job done down the stretch.

Washington Golf Off To Good Start

Excuse Washington men’s coach Matt Thurmond for being a little apprehensive. This hasn’t exactly been a run-of-the-mill week for his Huskies.  “The mood’s really good,” Thurmond said. “So good, I’m almost worried.” The Huskies are coming off a 15-shot victory April 19 at the U.S. Intercollegiate in Palo Alto, Calif., their fourth title of the year, topping a fantastic field and breaking school records for single-round score and 54-hole score. If that wasn’t enough, Washington, No. 5 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, hosts the Pac-10 Championship on April 27-29 at Seattle Golf Club, just 15 miles from the UW campus. More than 40 local media members showed up at the team’s media day on Monday, and the team has been featured all week on local news and radio stations.  “I’ve gotten way, way too many e-mails saying, ‘Wow, you guys should be able to dominate the Pac-10,’ ” Thurmond said. “What we did at Stanford, as cool as it is, it has nothing to do with what’s going to happen at the Pac-10.” Getting his squad ready for the conference championship might be tougher than it sounds. Motivating a team often is easier after a poor performance, Thurmond says, because players’ attention to detail is much higher. That’s why he hasn’t mentioned last week’s performance to his players at practice this week as they prepare for the Pac-10.

David Zhang Wins AJGA Northwestern Mutual

DANBURY, Conn. — David Zhang, 18, of South Glastonbury, Conn., shot a 1-under-par 71 and played steady golf despite over a one-hour rain delay en route to his first American Junior Golf Association victory at the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network – Blumberg Group Junior Classic. Elizabeth Brightwell, 17, of Nellysford, Va., shot a final-round 1-over-par 73 and a tournament total of 6-over-par 222 to claim victory in the Girls Division at Richter Park Golf Course.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network – Blumberg Group Junior Classic featured 144 players from 20 states, two foreign countries and the District of Columbia. The field consisted of 108 boys and 36 girls, ages 12-18. The Boys Division played the par-72 Richter Park Golf Course at 6,699 yards while the Girls Division played the course at 6,021 yards.

Loren Roberts On The Run

Loren Roberts figured he needed 6 under to get into contention. He started the final round at 2 under, seven off the lead. He got within a stroke of the leaders on the back nine but finished with 4-under 67 to tie for third. His round was one of the lowest of the day, and it was his third top-10 finish in seven starts. He bogeyed the third hole but followed with three birdies and an eagle on the par-5 12th.  “I thought if I could go 6 under (Sunday) and get to 8 under, that might be good,” Roberts said. “This is a hard golf course to finish on because there’s some awkward driving and you have to hit good iron shots. For me, it’s the putter. If the putter is working, then I don’t have to hit it stiff to make birdies. (Sunday) the putter was working.”

New Mizuno MP-600 Driver

Mizuno has long been known for their forged irons for better players. However, that reputation has largely failed to carry over into the world of woods. Their previous driver offering for low handicappers (the MP-001) had a small, but loyal following (at the range one day, a guy with an MP-001 couldn’t help but come over to check out the MP-600). In fact, only 16 of the nearly 800 Sand Trap forum members who responded to a driver survey, or just over 2%, use a Mizuno driver.
