A Weekend at a PGA Tour Event

Look for a special column this week from "Dwight from Scranton": our most loyal reader and fan here at Gretzpo's Sports Blog.

However, right now I'm going to divulge my experiences this past weekend going to the PGA PODS championship at the Innisbruck golf club in Tampa, Florida.

Now you're probably thinking: "why would Gretzpo, a man who enjoys physical sports and nude women, possibly want to engage in watching golf?"

Two words: "Hooters Nest". Essentially, Hooters sponsors the 17th hole, puts bleachers around the green, and distributes as much beer as you can drink until about two hours before the end of the round - probably to give people time to sober up.

But, of course, we stockpiled, and by the time Stewart Cink was putting out on 17, at least a half dozen golfers we're treated to raucous chants of "THROW YOUR BALL! THROW YOUR BALL!" as they were stepping off of the green - some ignoring our request, some adhering to it. Mr. Cink did one better, and pointed, then threw the ball right to me ... but showing my athletic prowess, I dropped the ball. I've agonized over that miscatch at least a dozen times... my excuse is that I was handcuffed by the throw - and I have the hands of a grizzly bear.

Me: STEWART! THROW IT AGAIN!!
Stewart Cink: (shrugs shoulders as if to say: "you couldn't catch the first one"... and walks off the green)

And then he blew a 4 stroke lead over the final 9 holes on Sunday ... that's what you get for trying to be nice to fans.
