Taylor Hicks or Justin Timberlake: Which One Can Bring Sexy Back ?

The recent Bob Hope Chrysler Classic was more notable for the implausibly icy desert winds, and the "flowing golden tresses" of its obscure winner, than for any amazing golf. As a result, the golf blogs didn't give it too much attention, just a few, nice anecdotal posts here and there.

There was however, one Bob Hope post that inspired the kind of response I dream about generating on my humble blog... and it didn't have much anything to do with golf. Chris Baldwin who writes one of the World Golf Blogs, wrote...an opinionated piece...that derided the replacement of Mouseketeer turned rapper Justin Timberlake, with American Idol Taylor Hicks. Yawn. Or so I thought. Hundreds of spirited, passionate, highly vitriolic comments later, I'm paying attention.

So, shamelessly, I've decided to grab my own small piece of the Taylor vs Justin debate. I've whipped up a little poll that asks which of these so called celebrity golfers you'd like to see at next year's Bob Hope Classic. Obviously Chris has tons more readers than I do, but hopefully we'll get enough response that we can use the results to lobby the tournament directors for next year. Probably not, but at least we'll find out who's more popular...with the readers of Golf Girl's Diary.

So what if you think Taylor Hicks is a Trailer Hick AND you're sure Justin Timberlake is never gonna be able to bring sexy back, even if he kept the receipt? Then you can select...Snoop Dog. I added him as a third possible "celebrity golfer". He knows how to swing a golf club and he knows from golf fashion.

So here's your chance to voice your opinion in this passionate debate.

Which of these guys would you like to see at next year's Bob Hope Classic?
Justin Timberlake
Taylor Hicks
Snoop Dogg

    hey patricia!!
    i got your blog on a google alert for Taylor Hicks. Yeah, i must say that chris's comments p**sed off alot of us Taylor fans (aka Soul Patrol), because we went thru all this crap not too long ago when Justin took it upon himself to make a nasty comment about Taylor. So, when this crap came up, it was like Round 2 *ding*.
    This is what i think..I think that even tho Tay didnt golf like a pro (far from it), he tried really hard, wasnt afraid to get pointers from whoever would help, and as usual, showed his fans some love. I think that Justin is overrated, and wayyyyyy too full of himself!
    Sure, Im a self confessed Tayfan, but Taylor is a humble, sweet, nice, mannerly dude, who was so very flattered to be at that golf tournament.
    It's refreshing, we loved every second of watching him miss every shot, and I, for one, hope he is invited next year, too!!!
    Good blog, girl, you'll get tons of comments from us Tayfans!!!
    Peace
    Chris

    Taylor Hicks?...Taylor Hicks? Come on. Justin Timberlake has proved himself as a musician AND a choreographer AND a composer AND an actor. Taylor has proved that he could lick up to Simon and please Paula. And play a lousy game of golf

    Taylor's not bringing sexy back. He's bringing soul back, something JT has never and never will master. Okay, JT can dance and Taylor dances like a four year old who had too much sugar. But Taylor has something JT will never have...class.

    Just an FYI. Taylor and Snoop have played together on stage at City Stages -Birmingham's annual music festival in May 2006. They both had complimentary things to say about one another.

    OK - Taylor Hicks IS a Trailer Hick and Justin totally lost the receipt. Snoop gets my vote for sure.

    Patricia,

    If you were going to write a blog, at least check your spelling, girl. RECEIPT, not reciept.
    That's all, it was bugging me. Taylor will not bring sexy back. He is bringing Class back. But then again, when did SEXY go away?Thanks.

    Follow up to my "D" vote above - why DON'T more women celebrities get the invite to these Pro-Am events?

    I know I get tired of seeing "the boys" hang out and giggle and scratch...

    What about Tea Leoni, Cheryl Ladd or Courtney Thorne-Smith or the other female celebs shown at http://www.golfdigest.com/features/index.ssf?/features/gd200512hollywoodranking.html ?
