50 Cent is in Lakeland Florida Homies!

Yo check it! So Elena Kurokawa and Grace Woo, former UNLV Running Rebels and current Golf Hotties, were in Lakeland Florida for Duramed Futures Tour Q-school and just wanted to fill their Chevy Cobalt Rental with gas! Little did they know that they were going to bump into the G-Unit Creator/Wangsta himself... 50 CENT!

So Grace spotted him on his cell and immediately informed Elena that it was him. Elena was like "Oh my gosh Gracey, no it's not." To which Grace responded "Yes it is!" and then started screaming. I couldn't help but wonder... What if they were in a Pontiac and drinking Vitamin Water?

So they went over and asked his 5-man entourage if they could have a picture. The one guy, who we now think is head of 50-Cent's "posse", told them "no". He was obviously jealous that 2 hot asian-golfing-goddesses didn't want a picture with him. (LOSER!) Elena and Grace never gave up, "Please. Please. (5 second pause) Why not? Please?" they persisted.

All of a sudden... there was a knock coming from inside the vehicle. (Not the Cobalt, the Yukon) Fiddy was waving them over to his window for a pic! "HIP HIP HOORAY!" Elena and Grace cheered:)
50 was really busy on his phone and didnt have time to chit chat and talk about his next album or nuthin. He just smiled and tickled them like little Pillsbury dough boys!

"I used to think he was cute. Now I am obsessed! I love 50 cent!" Said Elena as she drove out of the "Raceway" gas station on her way to Huntington Hills Golf Club for the Duramed Futures Tour Qualifying practice round. The tournament starts on Monday November 2 - Friday November 6, 2009. http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/

Best of luck ladies! Oh and it was Grace's Birthday yesterday too! "Go shawty, it's yo' Birfday!" Xo.

David Letterman's Extortion Guy wears Titleist Hats

Has anyone else noticed this trend over the last few weeks? Robert "Joe" Halderman, the "not very nice" man accused of trying to extort $2 Million dollas from David Letterman, officially wears Titleist hats everywhere!

Here he is in a white Titleist hat picking up laundry or what appears to be some sort of dry cleaning:

Here he is again, rockin' the same Titleist hat that he was wearing the the first picture. This time he seems to be smiling in a beach chair:

Golf Cart DUI

Hi Everyone! I've missed you!!! Big Hugs:)
So glad that Michael Jackson has been buried. It has been really sad to come to terms with it? But the blogging must go on... RIP MJ...

Flipping through the Internet and twitter-world, I stumbled upon an article titled, "New York Woman charged with Golf Cart DWI" from @golf_fiend. Confused, yet... intrigued ;p...
Boston Globe: DOVER PLAINS, N.Y. - A 45-year-old woman, Maureen A. Conklin, was charged with driving while intoxicated after state troopers pulled over her golf cart late at night on a rural highway in Dutchess County.....

"At $29.99, "Bubba’s Remote Controlled Beer Cart" offers users the option of having beer delivered via a mini golf cart. Features include: a golf bag shaped remote control, a removable roof, and working head / tail lights. Finally, a chance to bring your love of golf, gadgets, and alcohol together!"

What a COOL gift! ...Unless your name is "Maureen A. Conklin" and you have a "Golf-Cart-DUI":(

Note to the friends of Maureen A. Conklin: Do NOT buy "Bubba's Remote Controlled Beer Cart" for her. Maureen would feel "uber-awkward" if like... she opens up her gift and it's a cool toy-golf-cart with a beer strapped to the back of it! She would totally think of how "uber-drunk"she was on the golf course that day!

Update: Our media department has just obtained this photo of the arrest...

A Tribute to Michael Jackson: The King

What does Golf have to do with Michael Jackson? For me, a lot! Ask any golfer if Michael Jackson has played a role in their lives, and I'm sure they'll have a story. The sudden death of a King has hit me harder than I'd imagined, he was never supposed to die, not like that. Not without a strong finish...

Sitting in my basement at 3 years old, watching "The making of Thriller" on VHS... over and over. Hugging my knees on the couch, my hands covering my eyes, I'd peek through my fingers to watch. Terrified, I'd run to my parents room in tears, but I couldn't take my eyes off of him, he was mezmorizing, he was Michael Jackson! AND - I was back again the next night for more...

Every album is on my ipod. Every song has a memory and a meaning - a feeling. Over the years, I've practiced multiple hours on the range and ran hundreds of miles with Michael. His music "moves" me... literally. "Jam" on the Dangerous album made me work harder and "Man in the Mirror" made me a better person. Life without Michael would be different in a way that drive and inspiration would be missing.

MJ is my Tiger Woods of music... Exciting, inspiring, mesmerizing, motivating, electric and talent-filled. I can't believe he is gone:(

Dear Michael,
You were a true gentleman with a soft heart. After all the negative things said, you will remain and leave our world, a kind soul and a legend. I will continue to watch your videos and hopefully one day share them with my children. I will listen to your music when I practice, travel, work, run, play and stay motivated. Despite the good, the bad and the ugly; Yesterday, today and forever, you are a hero and inspiration to me. I've never met you, but felt I knew you. I've never touched you, but you've moved me. I will love you forever . Rest in peace. Xo.

My favorite song (if I had to pick one) is "Torture"... with a slide show to go with:) Enjoy...

The Bethpage Game Face

What's is going Golf Crazies? I've been on the road trying to move mountains therefore, putting the Golf Couture blog to the side:( I feel like, "totally" bad about it, but I am soooo over it - and I think that like, you should get over it too... K?

SO... Let's talk about Tiger. I mean, WTF? The chip-in on 17 last week at the Memorial... Is he real? OMG! By far the 2nd most exciting chip-in, number 1 being the 16th hole at the Masters!!! ...minus the clumsy high-five with Steve-O:) LOL:)As we prepare for the 2009 Men's US Open at Bethpage Black in Bethpage New York... I ask myself... What am I going to wear?

What's that? Oh... yes, I am going. For how long? Oh... the entire week. With who? Professionals from the PGD roster. We are headed out to do a fabulous golf event, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the PGA Tour's finest.

So excited to see Tiger! (I am jumping up and down, screaming with fist pumps) Now that his leg is better I wonder how he is going to "bring it"? With the amount of work I've been doing, I've just fallen off the golf horse, but plan on getting focused and back in the saddle next week. Just like Tiger, I've got my Bethpage Game Face on!!!

Kinda wanna follow David Duval out there for a bit - Does he twitter?

Twitter-Dee or Twitter Dumb?

“I’d love it if players Twittered during the middle of a round,” Bivens said in an interview in New York. “The new media is very important to the growth of golf and we view it as a positive, and a tool to be used.”

I didn't wanna open my big mouth since that Time interview, so I had to let C-Biv take the mic first. I still haven't really honed in on my "twittering" skillz, but I understand the value of twitter on a social networking level... BUT - The idea to use it in a professional sport where you are supposed to stay focused? Hmmmm, not so much.

So like, are we gonna hear from Kobe now during time-outs in the playoffs? Never. Because...

The fact is, there is a line between fans and athletes that creates the "illusion and elite depth" of an athlete by the fan. Sure I'd like to hear from Christina Kim during her round, but at the cost of not taking her seriously! Athletes don't use their cell phones during competition or practice!!! Come on!  Athough it may increase "fan engagement", it will cost them legitimacy in the sportsworld. 

It is disrespectful if while watching an athlete to see him/her bust out the blackberry and text (twitter) the world during a game. This ain't social hour ladies... 

"If we’re going to get out of the collared shirts and khaki pants and make golf chic, hip, happening, Christina Kim is exactly the kind of player to reach out and make golf a lot more relevant.” - Carolyn Bivens

CONCLUSION: You can't get rid of khakis by twittering. It is going to take more than a mass text-message to eliminate collared shirts, and (if you haven't already) you probably should've gotten rid of your bad golf fashion during the MySpace era, right? Ha!

Twitter-Dumb.

Tiger's Trauma ain't that Bad!

Geeeeeeeeeeez. The golf media needs to chill out dude! So Tiger didn't shoot 65 and make multiple eagles and give us the usual spectacular performance... neither did Cejka. Bad final round golf opened the door for Stenson to close the deal... although with -6 in the final round at TPC Sawgrass, you kinda kick the door open your-damn-self! Good Job Stenson, happy for you and Sweden buddy! Xo.

Note to Media: Tiger will snap out of it, it's called GOLF! "I kept spinning it to the right..." says Tiger, "but I got plenty of time to fix it." O'Hair was schooled by Tiger a few weeks ago and came back with a strong win soon after. Cejka will take this and run with it. You gotta fall so you know how to get up. Simple rule of life, business, relationships and golf. Is it me or is anyone else feeling Kelly Tilghman overload? Her hair looks good though:)!

Natalie Gulbis couldn't be at the Celebrity Apprentice finale:( She played well this week with a -9 finish at the Michelob in Virginia... but nobody is paying attention to that because the world revolves around Tiger...

Obviously, I know I am not the only one feeling lost and distraught? As much as I want to lay off and give him room... I want my Tiger back...
