Mark Brazil Clowns ggoblogger

The ggoblogger and Kevin von der Lippe have agreed again this year to help Sedgefield celebrate its rich tournament history by using some of the vast GGO archives to decorate for a couple of tournament related events to be held at their clubhouse this year.

While on a recent visit to the "GGO Archives" located at the Greensboro Jaycee office, the two junior history buffs spotted Mark Brazil retuning from what they were sure was some very important meeting in which networking was used.

The ggoblogger, realizing how important the tournament director is, wanted to leave the scene and not waste any of his time. von der Lippe, on the other hand, never missing an opportunity to remind someone about the "good ole days" or just complain about something in general jumped at the chance to get some face time with the TD.

"Hey guys," Mark said as he approached the two fellow Green Coats as they stood in the Jaycee parking lot. Kevin quickly took his place in Mark's bubble and began asking questions faster than humanly possible to answer.

It is important at this part of the tale to understand that the ggoblogger was standing quietly and had at this point only waved hello. Mark looked over and noticed that the blogger was wearing a new pair of tennis shoes and commented that it was about time that "you got rid of that pair of New Balances you've been wearing forever." He then went on to insult the ggoblogger's favorite pair of golf shoes calling them "plastic". I can't believe Mark Brazil clowned me in front of the Jaycee office. And to think I felt bad about all those jokes about his height I'd told in the past.

Gate Thinks 90 Jaycees May Be Good Amount

"We were thinking that perhaps people should judge the Jaycees a little more in the context of today than by what they used to be in the past. Yes, they used to be one of the largest chapters in the United States with over a thousand members.

That was a huge number for back then and today. It makes having 90 members pale in comparison.But an organization with 90 members in 2007 is pretty big nowadays. Civic club membership is on the decline nationally, and we bet a lot of organizations would love to have 90 members. In all fairness, we need to remember that and acknowledge it."

PGA TOUR’S CARL PETTERSSON JOINS FOUNDATION BOARD

"Carl Pettersson, a PGA TOUR player living in Raleigh, N.C., has joined the Foundation Board that oversees Wyndham Championship operations as the player representative. The position was unanimously approved by the Board during its second-quarter meeting on June 27.

After living in Gothensburg, Sweden, Pettersson’s family moved to the Piedmont Triad when Pettersson’s father was transferred to the Volvo Truck Facility in Greensboro. Pettersson attended Grimsley High School for two years and was the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4-A medalist in 1996. He went on to play golf while attending N.C. State in Raleigh before turning professional in 2000. "We have one of the strongest boards on the PGA TOUR, tournament director Mark Brazil said. "We decided it would be a good idea to have a player’s perspective, and we are fortunate to have one of the world’s top players living here in North Carolina.

Carl has been very supportive of our tournament over the years. It’s much easier to make decisions that will affect the players when one of them is a part of those decisions. We will be working with Carl on ways to improve all aspects of the Wyndham Championship."Pettersson is 44th in the July 1 Official World Golf Rankings and 61st in the current FedExCup standings. Pettersson and his wife, DeAnna have one child and are expecting their second later this summer. "

Gate is Sad (about the Jaycees)

"We read today in the Business Journal how the Jaycees are almost totally removed from the new Wyndham Golf Tournament, formally the GGO. They also are down to just 90 members and the General Chairman of the tournament is no longer a Jaycee himself."

Wyndham brings in Pettersson for golfer's view
By Robert Bell Staff Writer

"The foundation that oversees the Wyndham Championship has named Carl Pettersson as a player representative to its board, a move officials think will strengthen the tournament's stature on the PGA Tour.

The foundation's board of directors is comprised of some of the Triad's most influential businessmen. But tournament director Mark Brazil said Pettersson offers a unique perspective."Carl knows what the players want in a good golf tournament," Brazil said Tuesday.
"As a board, we can sit here and think about what players and their wives like until we're blue in the face. To be able to run ideas directly by a PGA Tour player like Carl is invaluable. He's one of the most respected and appreciated guys on tour."

Pettersson, who played golf at Grimsley High and N.C. State, lives in Raleigh and has been a fixture at Greensboro's PGA Tour event since 2003, his rookie season.Pettersson, 29, jumped at the offer when Brazil approached him earlier this year. Pettersson's family moved to Greensboro from Sweden when he was a high school junior, and he was a regular at Forest Oaks Country Club whenever the PGA Tour came to town."
