This week, Team McGladrey Member Davis Love III is in the great state of Texas for the Shell Houston Open. Davis tees off at 1:20pm CST today (April 3) on tee #1. He is joined by all our McGladrey Classic extend “family” winners: Chris Kirk (2013), Tommy “Two Gloves” Gainey (2012), Ben Crane (2011) and Heath Slocum (2010)! We’re pulling for “our guys!”
Speaking of Davis, did you wonder
where he was last weekend since he wasn’t at the Valero Texas Open? His
daughter, Lexie, got married at the family’s beautiful St. Simons Island, Ga.,
house – under the exact same tent used for The McGladrey Classic pro-am draw party! That’s big news for not only
the Love family but for the entire McGladrey family. Congratulations to the
Love family on this wonderful occasion!
Not only was
this past weekend exciting, but next week is a big one with the Masters
taking place in Augusta. Team McGladrey Member Zach Johnson
will be playing. The field is now set for the Masters, with the
exception of the winner of the Shell Houston Open (unless the winner is already
in the Masters field). You might be surprised to not see a “certain someone” in
the players field this year – it’ll be the first year in his career that Tiger
Woods won’t be playing in the tournament. Read what some of his fellow PGA TOUR
professionals had to say about Tiger missing the Masters due to recent back
surgery in this PGA TOUR
article. Tiger, we hope you feel better soon.
While Zach
isn’t playing this week, he’s still been busy. On Tues., April 1, Country Inns
& Suites By CarlsonSM announced their new three-year sponsorship
of Zach. Check out the announcement, in Carlson’s news release.
Bill Murray
recently rocked one of the funniest outfits we’ve seen on a golf course while attending
the 14th Annual Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament.
Like The McGladrey
Classic, the Murray Bros. tournament helps raise funds for
charitable organizations.
Finally, as a
reminder, new volunteers can now sign-up to support the 2014 McGladrey Classic..
Volunteering for the event is a great way to get an inside peek at the inner
workings of the tournament, while enjoying the beautiful Sea Island scenery and
contributing to the success of the event. Interested? Sign up here.
In closing,
we’d like to share an incredible story about PGA TOUR caddie Paul Tesori, his
wife, and their son Isaiah. It’s a touching illustration of the close-knit
nature of the PGA TOUR community. If you have a few minutes, read the story. We guarantee it’ll touch your heart.
Check back
next week for more updates on Team McGladrey, the 2014 McGladrey Classic and
all other golf-related items.
