Outback Pro-Am Saturday

After a long morning of stressing because my camera battery wouldn't hold a charge, delusional Tampa detours, and the fear of getting a speeding ticket I made it to the highly anticipated 2009 Outback Pro-Am at the Tournament Players Club in Tampa Bay, FL. I made it just in time to watch Andy Bean, Fuzzy Zoeller, Tim Condron, and Phil Theismann tee off and follow them to the 3rd hole. Bill Murry was set to tee off at 12:50 and that was something I was not going to miss. I wish I could have followed Bill [Murry] because just being around him was like being at your own comedy show. He did a great job keeping everybody laughing from start to finish. I couldn't even believe how well some of the Ams like Emmitt Smith, Mark Wahlberg, and George Lopez played as well. It was such a great time I can't wait until next year because we will be ready and waiting to do it all over again. Don't forget your hard hats, sun block, and to get there early!

I would like to give a special thanks to everybody at Outback Steakhouse and J. Cunningham for showing me around the Hornitos VIP booth.

Member for a day at the River Hills Country Club

Yesterday my Co-Chairman, Larry and I stopped by the River Hills Country Club in Valrico, FL for a round of golf and to check out their facilities. The course was beautiful and had long fairways, challenging bunkers, and strategic greens. Besides the 18 hole championship golf course River Hills Country Club also offers a driving range, tennis courts, swimming pool, pro shop for both golf and tennis, fitness center that is 24 hours, and a restaurant with a bar and grill. It was a very pleasant day, one that I wish would never end but it was getting late and we had to get back to the offices. If you are thinking about joining a country club the River Hills CC is one you should consider.
