A day with Tom goes for 10K, but an evening with Lady Gaga only goes for 8K.


That might be your greatest accomplishment when you look back at your career.

I was amazed at the winning bid for my donation - and even more so when David Kahn called to ask if the winner could bring along a friend if he matched the bid!  That’s a pretty good day’s work even if we don’t sort out some better ideas for the golf holes. I hear they are hoping to take their prize on our new project in NZ.


Also, if Lady Gaga is lurking here, I will be happy to trade prizes straight up, and I will of course throw in lunch as we will for our winning bidder 😉


PS to Joel:  It’s not like the winner gets to suggest lyrics to Gaga.

I know the winner Dave and he is a very nice guy, should be a fabulous experience for him and his buddy.  I have a guess of who that is, but haven't asked him. For another 10k do they get naming rights to a hole?

Charitybuzz.com has come out with it's annual spring golf auction and it is the bets lineup I have seen them put out.
Shinnecock, NGLA, Fisher's Island, Friars Head, Winged Foot, etc.  I mean it just keeps going.

The estimated value for items on the Charitybuzz auction are either comical or criminal depending on your take.

Must say i'm more than a bit surprised Git' Er Done Larry has to receive a bid....

Has the GCA Hillbilly Tour gone belly up?
