Golf!

The granddaddy of all of the celebrity golf tour events is next week, the American Century Championship from Lake Tahoe. John will be participating for the 19th straight year. He's the only guy to play in this tournament every year it's been held. He finished 10th last year.

So what does The G.O.A.T. have in his bag? A Ping Rapture driver, Ping G10 fairway woods and hybrid/recovery club, Ping i10 irons (4-9), a Scotty Cameron putter and the ball everyone on tour plays, the Titleist Pro V1x. The best part is that he only plays #7 balls. The one shown above also has the logo from his restaurant stamped on the side.

Other former Donks teeing it up next week: The Mastermind and Old Man Lynch. Jerry Rice is playing too, if you're dumb enough to consider him a former Bronco.

Predictions:
1) John finishes in the top ten.
2) Either Steve Bartkowski, Grant Fuhr, Dan Quinn, Rick Rhoden, Mark Rypien or Billy Jo Tolliver will win. One of them always does.
3) Shanny gives an awkward interview where he wishes the Donks and Coach Pyle nothing but the best. He'll be lying. He'll then go back to his hotel and light a Montecristo with one of Bowlen's $1000 bills.
4) Charles Barkley will snap hook a drive into the gallery and brain some idiot who was stupid enough to stand anywhere near Charles Barkley on a golf course.
5) I will do some sort of live blog or running diary of this event. It will be terrible awesome.

The Broncos are playing golf

That's right folks, its time for the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship! Love, love this event. It's always fun to watch world class athletes suck at something, and some of these guys swing a club like they're swinging a sickle. Ray Romano will clown around and be a jackass. Everyone will make fun of Charles Barkley's seizure swing and openly fellate Michael Jordan (who will have a $1M Nassau going with Wayne Gretzky). It's a good time.

Favorites include Steve Bartkowski, Al Del Greco, Grant Fuhr, Pierre Larouche, Dan Quinn, Rick Rhoden, Billy Joe Tolliver and Jack Wagner. Look for some combination of those names at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the tourney. You might see a Tony Romo or a Maury Povich string a couple of nice rounds together and sneak into the top five, but most of the time it's the ususal suspects at the top.

For the Donks, the Coach, the Quarterback and The Legend are participating. Johnboy plays to a 1 handicap, so he's got the best shot at it. He's usually in the top 15 or so. Shanny's got a nice swing, but I'm not sure how well he plays. Cut's only been playing for about a year, so he's looking at a high (low) score at a tough course.

Should be some fun stuff if you're into golf. Check back this weekend for regular updates.

Bonus points to anyone who can name the course from the photo.
