NOTAH KELLY III WINS
WORLD SERIES XXII
Notah Kelly III has become the 4th player to achieve the coveted home and away double with his World Series victory. During the tournament, Kelly and his playing partner, Edwardo Romero, posted a tournament 4BBB record score of 46 points.
Runner-up Kenny Crenshaw played good, consistent golf all week, emphasised by his win and second placing in the individual events.
Grantief Goosen filled 3rd place. His return to form seemingly helped by the temporary passing of his putting yips - to those watching him putt.
2010 WORLD SERIES NAMED
"LOVE THE PRESIDENT" TOUR
The week of golf will be known as the "Love the President" tour in recognition of the instant mass appeal of our new leader, Davidson Love III. Only weeks after assuming control of the ESG&EC, he has received acceptances from XIX (19) members to play on the Central Coast, a new tournament record.
Approval rating figures supplied by Big Jack Daley, a close advisor to the president, show Love's popularity has reached unprecedented levels, peaking at CXV (115)% in some areas of south-western Sydney. Mr Daley said, "As much as these figures may surprise some, they have been independently audited by Edwardo Romero, a renown numbers man. I think some of the club's powerbrokers backed the right trojan horse in the presidential race."
The defending champion, Peard Fulke, headlines the expected field of Kipper Parnevik, Seve Hemosteros, JP Hayes, Edwardo Romero, Per-Ulrik Fatcatsson, Java Haas, Hunter Meehan, Trent Strange, Davidson Love III, Kenny Crenshaw, Soldier Montgomerie, Grantief Goosen, Tack Nicklaus, Cavey Pavin, Notah Kelly III and Tubby Waldorf.
4-time winner, Jose-Mumma Olazabal, is a late withdrawal after breaking his foot training for the event.
