The annual American Century Tahoe Celebrity Golf tournament took place over the weekend in Lake Tahoe. It’s always a character driven event. Posted some quick photos of the newly kempt, but no less ridiculous Jared Allen, the ever increasingly sinister Michael Jordan, and others below.

Golf Digest’s senior travel editor Matt Ginella (I want your job) posted a good write-up on the event – check out Lance Armstrong’s mom, stuck in a bunker.

In lieu of being able to be Ginella, I’ll be trying my hand at the game American Century has posted on WGT.com that allows you to play the back nine at Edgewood Tahoe. One lucky winner is going to win a trip to the 2011 tournament. I’m still trying to get my swing down, good thing this game is nicely addictive.

There are far worse rounds completed and on-going. However, Tom Watson is in the clubhouse at -5, which puts Rory Sabbatini eight off the pace after 18 holes. Plus, he’s a jerk. This is by far my favorite collections of mis-fires early on today. Again, anything can happen. But I’m definitely voting for the more stand-up guys – a Larry Mize, a Jim Furyk, a Capt. Ben Crenshaw – to turn it around tomorrow far more than Sabbatini.

Taking this brief, first opportunity in the early hours of Day One, to all but eliminate The Walrus from the running at this year’s Masters. Now, anything can happen. However, Stadler after posting a 79 is in the clubhouse at +7. This leaves him poised to start tomorrow at least seven back (lowest score in the clubhouse is even) in, as it stands right now, 68th place.

The Wu Tang Clan, not likely to be amongst the six people who were invited to today’s Tiger event.

Jamie Jungers may have found a way to concoct some sort of unabashed secret sauce of stupid lies, that could keep this baby cycling until we start drawing correlations between the Tiger list and the Madoff list. She’ll singularly standout once this all passes (her, jaimiee grubbs, probably if there’s a lucky #18 on the ‘on the sly’ list…), but the hustlers on Ebay trying to make a gazillion % profit off a Tiger URL that they parked on GoDaddy for $10/year are doing their part on a tier-two level of ridiculousness scope.

If you search for Tiger Woods, categories: “all categories,” and sort by priced highest, the first five and nine of the first ten items listed are Woods-related domains.

An autographed painting of what looks like Tiger with Pangaea in the background for $1,000,000 is listed for a lower price than both Tigerection.com and TigerGotWood.com.

The soft sell for some of these is truly hilarious. For instance, the merchant of Tigersharem.com would like you to let you know that TigersHarem.com would make an “Excellent Business name, especially for the Adult Porn Strip Club Market.” Or if you pick up for TailsofTigerWoods.com, which has a starting bid of $21,000,000, you get a free hat and t-shirt with purchase.

If you want to get in on the Tiger URL market but are too late to the game to get say Tiagrawoods.com, there’s always something like SteviesSeconds.com, which is not going to be great for search out of the gate.

Tiger: Even in Chinese, Is Funny (Josh Q. Public)

Great execution, Alana. If Tiger Woods is determined to play this one so close to the vest that I have to turn on The Today Show this morning and hear the likes of Mike Lupica say, “He’ll golf his way out of this.” (Also, a 100% true statement), then we should be allowed to throw some jabs in his direction.

Check out her suggested playlist at Alanag.yardbarker.com and send her some suggestion. Keeping with the sensibility of MTV Jams (the early 2000′s iteration that I’m most familiar with), for my suggestion – the artist is Usher, the song is ‘Confessions.’

HALIFAX — Twenty years of chasing a little white ball around a golf course culminated this week in five dizzying days of excitement for Adam Sams.

The 34-year-old lobster fisherman has hit three holes-in-one since Friday at the Highlands Links course in Cape Breton, one of Canada’s most famed public courses.

“It’s pretty amazing. We’ve never seen anything like that around here,” says Joe Robinson, the Links’ pro, who has worked at the historic course in Cape Breton Highlands National Park for 38 years.

The full story reports there was foul language usage and Jack Daniels drinkage (good form, CanWestNews Service, good form).

As a golfer who would love like any other golfer to do this once before I die, I find Sams’ quote zen-like:

“The sun was shining in our eyes, so I saw the ball roll towards the hole, but I couldn’t tell if it had gone in,we didn’t really know until I got up to the green…My first reaction was: ‘There’s eight guys I’ve now got to buy drinks for.’ “

No art on the Canuck miracle lobsterman Adam Sams yet, but I’ve got a picture in mind.

Was Was it a good show…tonight, I mean? a real question. That was choice cut awkwardness.I can’t believe she didn’t bite on your shout out, you smooth operator you.

Of course, then there was Mark Sanchez’ failed attempt (at humor). I like to call these dad jokes.
