"From tee to green, Wyndham was success
Congratulations and thanks to Mark Brazil and the hundreds of volunteers who worked on the Wyndham Championship at Forest Oaks. By all standards, the tournament was a big success.Congratulations and appreciation are also due Wyndham Worldwide for its marvelous support of the tournament through its corporate sponsorship.
Stephen Holmes, CEO, spent the entire week in Greensboro working and thinking about ways to make the tournament better next year.The Wyndham people are committed to the Triad. This can only be good news for our golf tournament.
A special thanks should be given to Bobby Long, chairman of the Greensboro Jaycees Charitable Foundation, who did a marvelous job of keeping our tournament alive. Under his leadership, the tournament became a regional project, not just a Greensboro project, which is a very positive move.
Jim Melvin"

Foster Brooks Joke (Reprise)
I wanted to rerun Britt's favorite Foster Brooks joke with a photo of Brooks:A woman walks into her house and finds her husband pointing a gun at his head. She starts laughing hysterically. He tells her, "Don't laugh! You're next".

What's on eBay?
Up for auction are THREE Greater Greensboro Open Official Pairing Sheets. The first is from 1989 and features a photo of Sandy Lyle on the front ('88 champion). The second 1990 has picture of trophy and vintage club (also a player but do not recognize him). The third is from 1991 and has beautiful artwork featuring a lone golfer driving down the fairway.These guides are filed with names such as Couples Watkins, Davis Love lll, O'Meara, Faxon (just to name a few!!). All are in great shape and feature a great course map in each (color). Filled with nice ads too!! They no longer have the Greater Greensboro Open (changed), so this is an affordable chance to own a piece of history!!

The Dan Eldreth Green Coat Club Worker of the Year Award
Congratulations Robert Swiggett III as he received Dan Eldreth Green Coat Volunteer of the Year Award for his outstanding work at this year's Wyndham Championship. (Don't tell Wyndham it still says Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament on the award.)Letter to the Editor of the News & Record
"Paper's negative spin on tourney helps no one
It has been disappointing in recent days to observe how the News & Record has prominently focused on potential negative aspects of this year's golf tournament, to the exclusion of addressing the many positive aspects of this, one of the country's longest-running professional golf events. There are some exciting new faces in the tournament with interesting stories to tell, and the newspaper should be digging these out and presenting them to us.
Instead, the tenor of the coverage has been very disrespectful to the community and tour professionals and is dismissive of the thousands of hours spent by community leaders and volunteers to keep this tournament as a showcase for the Piedmont area of North Carolina.The icing on the cake is that, after all the negative coverage, the editorial page exhorted citizens to come out and support the tournament. Somebody needs to talk to somebody. "

Grey Goose Lounge Girls
The ggoblogger knows that most of you have already seen a photo of the Grey Goose Lounge girls, but there were two taken and this is the only way this blog will ever be able to compete with http://gatecity.blogspot.com/Comment of the Week (Joke of the Week)
"Thanking (you) for the quick response...although, I believe the Foster Brooks act was just that...an act.
Favorite Foster Brooks joke:A woman walks into her house and finds her husband pointing a gun at his head. She starts laughing hysterically. He tells her, "Don't laugh! You're next".Never gets old. "
(Thanks for the great joke. The ggoblogger is sure the Foster's drinking was an act, but it added to the idea that Greensboro like to "pop a top".)

Tim Finchem Spotted at Wyndham Championship
The ggoblogger has only met the guy twice, but he's pretty sure that was Tim Finchem, PGA TOUR Commissioner, he saw riding around in a golf cart with Mark Brazil outside the media tent about 1:30pm on Sunday.
If Finchem shows up later telling everyone about how excited he is about the FedEx Cup race, then we'll know the ggoblogger was right. If not, the ggoblogger just saw a guy that looked liked Tim Finchem.

Question of the Week
"Randy,
Have you ever heard of the ggo referred to as the "beer can opener" or "beer top open"?
Britt Whitmire"
That's "Pop Top Open" thank you. Yes it's true. During the 1970's and early 1980's players and fans of the PGA TOUR often referred the the tournament in Greensboro as the Pop Top Open. The ggoblogger has even heard stories told by Green Coaters on recruiting trips handing out beers to the golfers as they completed their practice rounds.
The GGO has itself to blame. The 17th green was famous for its beer stands and rowdy crowds in the bleachers. Don't forget the Foster Brooks was a headliner for many of the parties hosted by the Greater Greensboro Open. One of the tournament's most successful promotions involved the commemorative whiskey decanters sold from 1972 until 1981.
The bleachers are back by the way as Mark Brazil and crew want to recapture a little bit of that excitement.

Grey Goose Lounge Maybe the Best Spot on the Course(Reprise)
Grey Goose Lounge is a new hospitality tent at the this year's Wyndham Championship. This lounge is an upscale air-conditioned hospitality area located near the entrance to the Forest Oaks Country Club next to the ninth green.
It offers upscale beverages-available for purchase. Tournament patrons with Clubhouse Plus badges or hospitality tickets can also get into the Grey Goose Lounge. Fans with daily grounds tickets may purchase a Grey Goose Lounge upgrade for $25 per tournament day.The layout reminded the ggoblogger of many of the clubs he saw while on a recent trip to L.A. It has upscale seating to go along with those upscale drinks, its air-conditioned, but that's not what makes this "lounge" cool. The staff is friendly (see photo above) and they kept the party going. This is where the young "Sex in the City" crowd will want to be seen.
As far as being seen, the Grey Goose Lounge also offers a viewing platform that over looks the ninth green where you can switch from people watching to bird watching as the eagles and birdies will fly. The ggoblogger likes this tent.

Cutting our concession prices will improve the overall experience for all our fans”

Media Tent Looks Great
The ggoblogger likes to find things to complain about. After a few hours in the Wyndham Championship's media tent on Friday morning it pretty obvious that they've got it all worked out. Rob Goodman, Director of Media Relations, and Elizabeth McKinney, Media Committee Head, are doing an outstanding job this year.
Congressman Howard Coble at the Wyndham
One of the many things the ggoblogger loves about the Wyndham Championship is the fact that it's a homecoming every year. You make new friends, but it's the old ones you see that make you smile.
On the way back to the media tent, the ggoblogger ran into Howard Coble. He was on his way to a radio interview with Dusty Dunn on 1070 AM. He told the ggoblogger to say hello to his boss,Bob Page, at Replacements,LTD. So "Hello Bob. Howard Coble says Hi."

"The name 'Wyndham Championship PGA Tournament' still takes some getting used to. For years, professional golfers competed in the Greater Greensboro Open or Chrysler Classic of Greensboro. Unlike past tournaments, the Jaycees are not running things. But Bob Buckley reports an organizational change is not necessarily a bad thing. "

The ggoblogger got a call from the junior historian. He wanted to know if the ggoblogger had any photos of the Greensboro Jaycees from "back in the day". The ggoblogger said "sure" and the junior historian came over to the mancave later that night an tore the place to pieces looking of these photos.
The blogger then asked "why do you need these anyway?" The junior historian replied, "the Buckley report wants to slam the Jaycees and they need the pictures."
The ggoblogger does not have a problem with the report, but Buckley refered to the tournament as a child at least three times. This is a really weird metaphor when you think about the fact that it's a 69 year old child. Also, most of us only get one set of parents so the metaphor really does not work for us. It is more like, "If you love something set it free."

One More Photo of the ggoblogger
The ggoblogger does not usually run this many photos of himself on the blog. Kevin von der Lippe complained that he would get into hot water if his bride saw the photo of him and Liz from Friday night. So fair is fair. (I hope I don't get in trouble with The Boss Lady.) Besides photos of Area Ten's leading lady mean more hits for this blog.2007 Green Coat Club Reception

Robert Bell Reports on Wyndham Championship
"This is what happens when your top two celebrities for today's Lincoln Financial Pro-Am — that would be NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith — pull out with injuries of their own. Or when the PGA Tour's longest driver, Bubba Watson, drops out, as well.
The casualty list for the inaugural Wyndham this week at Forest Oaks Country Club has been like a roll call of the tournament's top players. On Thursday, Boo Weekley withdrew, citing fatigue. Friday came word that Chris DiMarco had withdrawn for the same reason. On Monday, K.J. Choi, the 2005 Greensboro PGA champion and the world's 12th-ranked golfer, excused himself to rest for the upcoming FedExCup playoffs. That theme continued Tuesday as players checked out seemingly by the hour."

What's On eBay?
You are bidding on an ORIGINAL Program for the 25th Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament April 12, 13, 14, 15, 1962. It appears to be complete and in very good condition. I do not see any writing, torn or missing pages. The only damage that I see is that it has some paper loss on the cover and a water spot on the word anniversary on the cover. It does not affect the inside pages as they are perfect, and it still displays nicely. Also included is a paper with a map of the Sedgefield Country Club Golf Course and Pairings and Times for GGO. Some of the Players listed are ARNOLD PALMER, BILL CASPER, JR., SAM SNEAD, JACK NICKLAUS, ECT..
