Did I mention that I’m going to be playing in the Crowne Plaza Invitational Pro-Am?
I’ve been perusing the initial list of the field, speculating on which pro I’d like to have in our group. Not that I have any power over that. There’s apparently a draft in which the picking order is determined by a game show format. I don’t quite understand it, but I’ll let you know how it works out.
The field, however, looks pretty good. Its got several winners from this year:
Mark Wilson: Sony Open in Hawaii, Waste Management Phoenix Open
Rory Sabbatini: The Honda Classic
Michael Bradley: Puerto Rico Open presented by seepuertorico.com
Martin Laird: Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard
Brendan Steele: Valero Texas Open
Brandt Snedeker: The Heritage
Lucas Glover: Wells Fargo Championship
As well as a pile of Major Champions:
Mike Weir: 2003 Masters
Trevor Immelman: 2008 Masters
Lucas Glover: 2009 U.S. Open
Ben Curtis: 2003 British Open
Zach Johnson: 2007 Masters
Stewart Cink: 2009 British Open
Justin Leonard: 1997 British Open
David Duval: 2001 British Open
Jim Furyk: 2003 U.S. Open
David Toms: 2001 PGA Championship
Davis Love III: 1997 PGA Championship
Corey Pavin: 1995 U.S. Open
Tom Lehman: 1996 British Open
Angel Cabrera: 2007 U.S. Open, 2009 Masters
John Daly: 1991 PGA Championship, 1995 British Open
Vijay Singh: 1998, 2004 PGA Championship, 2000 Masters

I think it would be cool to play with Paul Goydos. He is a former teacher so you would have something in common other than a love for golf.
Ben Crane would be interesting and you would certainly have time to get into some lengthy discussions.
As it turns out, my guy was Stuart Appleby.
Very nice gentleman. Dry sense of humor.
