TGA satser på 11. september
Som vanlig er det ikke helt enkelt å finne en turneringsweekend som passer for alle medlemmer. Unskyldninger som bursdagsselskap, kon-firmasjon, fotballcup og høstjakt florerer. Fem personer har imidler-tid respondert positivt på TGA midt i september, ytterligere tre har antydet mulig deltakelse. Siden ingen andre helger utpeker seg som mer relevant for flere på en gang, velger vi derfor å kline til nå!!!
Øystein er selvutnevnt reiseleder, dog med bistand fra regjerende mester Per Anders. Fire dobbeltrom er forhåndsbooket på Laholmen hotell i Strömstad fra 11. til 13. september. Prisen for herligheten er SEK 2850 som ikke bare dekker
seng og frokost, men som også inkluderer en 3-retters middag både ved ankomst fredag kveld og til banketten lørdag, samt greenfee begge helgedagene. Solkrem og LIIT kan medføre et marginalt påslag ved utsjekk...
TGA arrangeres over 27 hull på Mjölkeröd GK lørdag formiddag, første teeoff 0815. Søndagsrunden spilles på Strömstad GK fra 1210, alternativt en litt tidligere teeoff på Dynekilens GK. Startfeltet og det endelige programmet presenteres nærmere avreise.
Send inn din bindende påmelding i dag, for å sikre deg deltakelse i det gjæve selskap. Deltakerpremie til alle med egne golfsko!

Ny harrytur til Strömstad?
Høstens TGA er allerede på tegnebrettet, nok en gang er det de høye drinkene hos våre svenske naboer som lokker. Øystein og Per Anders har kokt i hop et konsept for helgen 11. til 13. september, dette skal nå være distribuert i mail til samtlige medlemmer av TGA. Komiteen imøteser snarlig respons på tourforslaget, det er fohåndsbooket åtte plasser på Laholmen. Følg med på bloggen for løpende oppdateringer

Hole-in-one forsikring
Aftenposten har utført en test av reiseforsikringer, der ny-kommeren AIG Travel ender relativt prisgunstig sammenlik-net med de mer etablerte sel-skapene. TGA ønsker naturlig nok ikke å ta stilling til selve resultatet av undersøkelsen, siden enkelte av våre kjernemedlemmer helt sikkert kan argumen-tere for andre preferanser. Men redaktøren falt likevel umiddelbart pladask for punkt 14.3.4.1 i forsikringsvilkårene, utdrag følger:Forsikringen dekker sikredes kostnader på inntil kr. 5.000 til å betale for champagne/drink eller lignende til hver av medspiller-ne som så ”hole in one” slaget. Utgiftene må påløpe i golfbanens klubblokaler på samme dato som ”hole in one” slaget fant sted..
Dette er imidlertid ingen superforsikring for golfere. For eksempel dekkes ikke mistet ball, jfr forsikringsvilkår punkt 14.3.2.2.

By Tiger Woods
I'm looking forward to competing again at the Memorial Tournament. I've been work-ing hard on my game since The Players Championship, although we've had a lot of rain recently in the Orlando area. It rained 6 inches one day at Isleworth Country Club.
In six starts this year, I've won once and had five Top 10 finishes, which isn't too bad considering how long I was away from the game after my knee surgery. It's just frustrating when you're in position to win and don't get it done. I just need more repetitions.
I recently hosted Tiger Jam XII presented by AT&T in Las Vegas. No Doubt kicked off their first tour in five years - it was an incredible concert, and we were able to raise more than $1 million for my Foundation. I'm very grateful to the donors, sponsors and fans who helped us. Special thanks to Ben Roethlisberger for lending his support as well. I made a purchase during the silent auction: a one-of-a-kind guitar autographed by Bruce Springsteen. I'm a huge fan and saw him play in Australia. I also got to spend some time with three students from our programs - Alma, David and Ramses. They were phenomenal and their stories really helped the crowd get into the spirit of the night.
On a more somber note, Elin and I were saddened to hear that Amy Mickelson has breast cancer. She's such a great person and it's a shame she and her family have to deal with this. Hopefully, the prognosis is good and she can make a fast and full recovery. This is a tough time for the Mickelson family and we're all thinking about them.
I was also sorry to hear about the death of former ABC fairway reporter Bob Rosburg. Like me, he attended Stanford University and won a PGA Championship. I just remember him always saying you had no shot. Rossie was very good at his job and in tune with all the players.
On a happier note, it was awe-some to hear that Jose Maria Olazabal has been elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame. I always enjoy playing with Ollie because I learn so much from how he chips and manages his game. He has a phenomenal understanding of how clubs work around the greens.
In July, I'll be hosting the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club. We have a great field, headed by defending champ Anthony Kim. Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Danny Lee, Sean O'Hair and Nick Watney have also committed, making this year's field pretty strong. The course is in fantastic shape as well, so I'm really looking forward to playing against those guys and hopefully posting a W.
I recently had a chance to meet with Presi-dent Obama in the White House. I would love to be able to play golf with him and just talk. Maybe one day we can do that. He's got a lot on his
plate, but is a very down-to-earth person, especially for someone who is the leader of the free world.
I got a tour of the White House. What I especially enjoyed was learning about its history and details about all the different rooms. It was pretty neat stepping back in time. I also enjoyed talking with the Secret Service agents.
The U.S. Open will be here soon. I'm definitely going to try to go to Bethpage to play and take a look at the course. They've made a few changes since I won there in 2002 and I want to check them out.
I'm really torn about the NBA finals. I grew up a die-hard Los Ange-les Lakers fan, but have season tickets to Orlando Magic games. Hopefully, it will be a great series.
Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon.
