All Set for the Mesquite Amateur!

May 23, 2011 / / 8 Comments

Registration is closed and the numbers are in for the Mesquite Amateur golf tournament! Less than a week from today, 550 golfers and their guests will descend upon Mesquite Nevada for the 9th annual Mesquite Am!

Mesquite Am tent event

I’m told that’s more than we had last year (picture above from one of the nightly dinner event parties from the 2010 Mesquite Am).

So how many are participating in The Golf Chick tournament-within-the-tournament? Lucky number 69. Yes, 69 golfers (plus their guests) are going to have just a BIT more fun than the other 481 players. Haha.  Monday night in the tent, we will have reserved seating for our group (82 people) so we can meet, greet and mingle. We will also be selecting the lucky winner from the golfers to receive a Golf range finder! All the golf chick players will be receiving some bonus swag as well. Plus, we have some fabulous gifts to give away as prizes for certain accomplishments throughout the week as well as actual golf score results for just our group. (Follow along with me on Facebook and Twitter to participate in – and help decide – who wins and what for! You can also chime in to me in person in Mesquite but I’ll probably ask you to make it official on FB to make it easier to track.)

There are plenty of things going on for non-golfing guests to do as well, which you can see here.

It’s going to be a fabulously fun week and I can’t wait to see you all there! Luckily, I don’t have to wait long. Are you ready??? Some of you may know about how I came in DFL last year (in fabulous fashion, I might add). How mad will everyone be when I win it all this go around? I hope to find out!

Mesquite Am Golf Chick Early Bird Winner Announcement

April 5, 2011 / / 5 Comments

We have a winner! All Mesquite Am participants who registered by March 31 (the early bird deadline) using the golf chick code were entered into a drawing to win their hotel stay free.  And the winner is…

Rob Kaczur from Surrey, British Columbia.

Congratulations, Rob! You will be receiving a certificate from the resort. I look forward to meeting you in Mesquite! Thanks to all who signed up early and played!

It’s not too late! We have a nice group of people registered with the golf chick and they’re still coming in. It’s not too late to get in on all the fun! Plus, the Mesquite Am extended the lower early bird rate through April 15th! They also announced that the nightly dinner parties, which are always themed, will be based on the majors of Men’s professional golf (plus the Mesquite Championship). That should make for some fun decorations, games, prizes and more. If you still haven’t registered, you may do so here. And don’t forget to enter “golf chick” as your promo code for the bonus fun!

By the way, The Golf Chick is not officially associated with the “Doing it in the Desert” Monday skins game, which is run by George Salcedo. Haven’t decided if I’m playing in that or not, but I usually just play a casual round at another course not on my rotation, since there are so many great courses around there.

However, I will be at Cigars Under the Stars on Wednesday night, June 1st, poolside at Casablanca. Will you? (If so, let them know in a comment in the blog linked here to make sure they have enough cigars!)

Michelle Wie Kia Commercial

I’m pretty sure the casual viewer doesn’t put nearly this much thought into it and maybe at the most decide whether they prefer this commercial or the one with the hamsters. (I love the drummer hamster!)

And here’s the link to it on YouTube in case the embed code fails (as I know they do on here from time to time).

Precious Little Golf Chick at it again

June 8, 2010 / / 6 Comments

I’m not a big facebook-er. Signed up a few years back and just never really saw the point. I know, with this website and all you’d think I’d be more active with ALL social media. Something about facebook just always rubbed me the wrong way. I think I have a whopping 5 friends on it and never pay it any attention. I recently had to get more involved in it on behalf of the candidate whose campaign I’m working on and had a really bad experience with a silly punk who decided to use it as a harassment tool. Tool is right. The whole mess just kind of reinforced my feeling about the level of maturity of people on the site (present company excluded, of course). Now facebook is somewhat under fire for their new (lack of) privacy issues so I think I’m just going to sit on my heels awhile longer and wish for the trend to dissipate. Yeah right, right? Anyway…

I just had another experience that made me actually ENJOY the level of maturity on facebook when I got an email informing me that someone posted a link on my wall. I had to look:

jenna facebook post

Oh Jenna – I mean Peacechick – you rock! You’re very welcome for the thing a maging. Let’s get back out on the course again soon so you can use it! I’m sure you didn’t get in much trouble for posting on your mom’s facebook – after all, you didn’t give yourself unsupervised access to it. :-)

Note to readers: Jenna’s one of my favorite little golfchicks, a terrific big sister to Kate, and they along with their mother Darla and dog Bailey are wonderful neighbors. The “thing a maging” in question is a golfchick logo’d divot tool. I’m working on some posts covering my recent trip to the 2010 Mesquite Am (if you were there you just might have your own “thing a maging,” which is now its official name) so stay tuned!
