April 29, 2007--Golf is a serious game at times (ask the USGA), but we can't forget that the game can also be a lot of fun, especially when played in the "World's Most Exciting Golf Destination" as VegasGolfer Magazine calls Las Vegas. Celebrities from all walks of film, television, sports and music tee it up on Las Vegas golf courses on a daily basis, but a very unique pairing took place at Las Vegas golf course TPC Canyons for a segment on Get Golf on USA Network, hosted by John O' Hurley of Seinfeld fame who now plays King Arthur in Monty Python's Spamalot here at the fabulous Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. And through the magic of You Tube, you can view the short, fun-filled Elvis and O' Hurley moments now.

March 26, 2007--Tiger Woods is on a hot roll. One that's lasted about a decade, and shows no signs of cooling. When Tiger finally dispatched Brett Wetterich over the weekend to win the CA Championship, a World Golf Championship event, it marked his 77th win as a professional. His first PGA Tour win came at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, played at Las Vegas golf courses TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas National Golf Club and the old Desert Inn Golf Club (since remodeled to be WYNN Las Vegas). The 77 wins come in three categories listed in the official PGA Tour media guide: official PGA Tour wins, international wins and other victories. Tiger has won 77 times in just more than 10 years of playing. For a bit of perspective, Arnold Palmer won 86 times in the same three categories, with his first win coming 25 years before his 86th.

Gulbis is one of the best players on the LPGA Tour, and has played on the United States Solheim Cup team, and finished in the top 10 on the money list. She is currently ranked 26th in the Rolex World Rankings.

During every show for many years, historical talk show host Johnny Carson would punctuate his monologue with a pretty nice looking golf swing. It became a signature move, and one that every Carson impressionist put in their act. So who was Johnny's pro that helped make the swing "fundamentally" sound? According to Terry Webber, the nephew of legendary PGA of America Las Vegas Golf Pro Charlie Teel, that swing could be credited to his Uncle and Las Vegas. "I remember watching the Johnny Carson show, and whenever I would see the 'golf swing', I would think of Charlie," Webber said.

Football players Aaron Glenn and Jonathan Ogden, actor Kevin Sorbo, comedian Dennis Miller and former NBA star Spencer Haywood were just a few of the notables.

Mirage headliner and namesake for the Danny Gans Junior Golf Academy is taking his golf game and voices on the road to Pebble Beach. Danny Gans will tee it up for the first time in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The event is the PGA Tour's annual "golfapalooza", and what the celebrities, who are paired with PGA Tour players for the week, do is many times more memorable than the actual competitive golf.
