It helps when your a celebrity

So Jared Allen had his own golf outing this past weekend and it sounds like it was awesome.

"But with Allen in charge of this thing, no way it was going to be a solemn affair. Long known as one of the game's free spirits, Allen took his own unique view on life and applied it to what he hoped wouldn't be "another (lame) golf tournament." Things started out on the right note, when American Gladiator Hollywood Yates sang the National Anthem. Then, the participants had to endure harassment from Marines on every hole — distracting them on their backswings, and frequently demanding push-ups for sub-par results.

Some duffers received different consequences — UFC star Chuck "Iceman" Liddell had to blast through a Slip-and-Slide after failing to reach the green in regulation on the 14th hole. And the shotgun start at 3:30 p.m. insured that there would be nine holes of night golf. There was also a Hole-in-One contest ... at 10:30 p.m. A great time was had by all, and it was an excellent example of Allen's own attitude towards life as personified by the mullet he doesn't wear anymore — he's still "business in front, and party (with two 'Rs') in the back," and he still gets extra mayonnaise every time.

Yates may have summed the tournament up best on his Twitter feed:"

Somebody Broke some ones Nose! Greatest Golf Tournament ever!less than a minute ago via txt




First, I want to make a reference to the 1st Hofstra Lacrosse outing at Lido Golf Course, the Miller family broke out into a fist fight. Dean got his ass kicked and as he was putting Ryan and Patrick would be punching him. He had a bloody nose coming into the reception after, it was the greatest thing I've ever seen at a golf outing. Granted last year had a lot of better moments, but I don't remember them. I would love to do shit like this but I'm not a celebrity. Maybe if our "professional athlete" friends would take a little out of their million dollar salaries we could do it. ME guys, that's what they are. Anyway, after reading this I still think our outing is gonna be better. Funnels at the Closest to the Pin and boozing all day will easily lead to a shitshow and awesome camera moments. I'll be bringing my camera again this year but I'll be taking a lot of pictures because last year that was the only way I was able to get "flashes" of the outing was through my camera.
