LPGA fans, golf fans, sports memorabilia collectors: there's an awesome contest going on at Wei Under Par, (the engaging golf blog of ultra-cute girl-about-town, Stephanie Wei) that you probably want to enter.
The prize is a Sybase Classic hat autographed by LPGA players, including Suzann Pettersen, Meg Mallon, Se Ri Pak, Janice Moodie, Lisa Strom, Julieta Grenada, Ai Miyazato, Vicky Hurst, Morgan Pressel, Kelli Kuehne, Paige Mackenzie, Christina Kim, Jeehae Lee, and others.
It's easy to enter; Stephanie just asks you to submit your "best story about the lengths you went to get an autograph from a celebrity." It can be any celebrity in any field, and you just have to email it to Ms. Wei at steph [dot] wei [at] gmail [dot] com. The deadline is Wednesday, May 27.
As you may surmise from the photos above mine involves Padraig Harrington who I've been known to claim as a long lost cousin. I think it's pretty funny, but you may have a better one. If so, send it in and you might just win.
Stephanie herself has collected a couple of stellar signatures in her day. Head over to Wei Under Par to read about her impressive autographs. I've got to admit, I'm rather jealous of her Tiger ball.
Speaking of Sybase ...
ReplyDeleteChief just realized a practical solution to GGD's problematical post of five moons ago re smudges caused by makeup, rogue divots, caddie phlegm, whatever.
Let the LPGA hold one tournament a year in which no lady is allowed to remove any stain that nestles anywhere on her natty outfit.
Advertise it as The Filth Major, using the sloppiest font you can find.
Case closed.
Maybe compact cases closed too. Might be scary.
Thanks for the tip. Ihave a Tiger autograph story that I'm pretty sure can't be beat.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could email Steph re my kidnapping Eddie to get sigs from the entire "Frasier" cast, but I prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the Padraig story. I have a funny story for Stephanie, that involves my Aunt and the lengths to which she went for Willie Nelson's autograph. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that Paddy wouldn't mind giving you credit as "part of the family"...but MRS Paddy might have something to say about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool guy - he autographed the picture of himself in GolfPunk for me a couple of years ago at The Tour Championship...even though I asked him at the end of the post round in the outdoor, media only area. It is now framed along with Mom's ticket for that day at The Tour Championship for a Christmas present. (he's her favorite golfer)
patricia - i'm a big fan of paddy. :)
ReplyDeletei'd love to hear stories from others. it's meant to be a fun little contest. so, please send them in!
