Win tickets to see Tiger at the AT&T National this weekend!
You want to see Tiger play golf, right? Of course, we all do! And now, thanks to the fine folks at YellowPages.com, you can do just that at this weekend's AT&T National just outside Washington, D.C., provided you win Devil Ball's "Fill Tiger's Foursome" contest.
If you win, you get two free tickets good for entrance on either Saturday, July 4th or Sunday, July 5th, plus free parking, a pairings guide, and the joy of getting something for nothing. While you're there, Yellowpages.com mobile concierges will be something called the "AT&T Digital Clubhouse" to help you get around the Congressional course. (Tiger's been consulting them for how to stay on the fairway, I hear.) And hey, when you're done with your day, why not use Yellowpages.com to find a good watering hole to raise a glass to your friends here at Devil Ball?
So here's the deal: Tiger Woods is playing this weekend, as you may have heard. With that in mind, I want you to construct the ultimate foursome around Tiger. You've got all of history and human creative expression to work with, so if you want to have Tiger play with George Washington, Joan of Arc and Wolverine, so be it. List your foursome, and then make your case for why you chose Tiger's three mates. Simple, right?
Post your entry in the comments below, and/or email it to me at jay.busbee@yahoo.com. This contest is open to everybody, but please make sure you can actually go to the tournament. Those of you on other continents or in other time zones from D.C., feel free to post your foursomes, but please also note that they're not for contest consideration.
Now, since the tournament starts, well, tomorrow, we're not going to be running this contest for very long. Exactly 24 hours, matter of fact. Contest ends at 12 noon Eastern on Thursday, July 2, and we'll post the winner's name here shortly thereafter. It'll be up to you to keep an eye on the site and claim your prize. The contest organizers will then overnight your tickets to you, and you'll be able to go say hi to Tiger for us!
Thanks again to Yellowpages.com for supplying the tickets. Now, have at it!
UPDATE: Sit tight, we're sifting through all the entries and should have a winner for you by 1:15 Eastern!

2. George Franklin Grant - He should get to see where his invention has gone and to know and play with our top baller today. In this game of hypothetical, how can you leave the inventor of the golf tee out?
3. Jay Busbee - He talks as the day is long about how much he used to play golf all the time and still shows love for the sport with his fancy schmancy DbG blog. I for one wanna see how he might could fare against professional players. Much like SVP, this commentator should for at least one day stop talking about the Woods and play the Woods.
4. Tiger Woods - Requirement.
Also, don't peg me ineligible. I can go. Don't uncontention me.

2. Hamish McGreggor: The Scottish, kilt-wearing golfer from his video games, just because I want this guy to actually exist.
3. Tim Meadows: Must be dressed as Tiger Woods like he was on SNL.
4. Jim Brown: They need to hug it out

1) Jack Nicklaus 2) Tiger Woods and 3) Ben Hogan...The interest seeing these 3 play would be unbelievable and memorable.Watching how each plays every hole against each other would be priceless. The crowd would be the largest ever seen adding to the excited atmosphere.
4) Rodney Dangerfield in character from the movie "Caddyshack"...He could try to break the concentration and focus of the Big 3...It would be interesting to see how they handle it. The "boombox" in the golf bag,the "partier" entourage,the yellin'out of"I bet you don't make that putt!" in the middle of a stroke etc.would add to many a great moment which anything could happen.

The caddies would be Steve(for Tiger),Jackie Gleason(for Larry),Don Rickles(for Curly),and Rodney Dangerfield(for Moe).
Imagine what would happen there.
That would be fun to watch. :)

1. Jack Nicklaus - When he was winning all the time, so we can finally find out who is the best golfer. The other thing that needs to be added in this comparision however would have to be the difference in technology on the golf course. Hopefully Tiger can win this one.
2. Payne Stewart - Just because he left this great Earth far before his prime was over. He was playing great golf at the time of his very unfortunate accident. I just want to see Payne on the golf course again.
3. Earl Woods - We never got to see the father/son duo play on the same golf course at the same time. I don't know if he necesarily could have kept up with his son, but it would have been awesome to see them playing together just once.
4. Tiger Woods - I believe he will get back to his old self sooner rather than later.
This would be his male 4some, but now lets talk about female 4some to work on concentration.
1. Natalie Gulbis
2. Paula Creamer
3. Morgan Pressel
Not only will Tiger have to keep concentrated on golf due to these ladies looks, but also due to the simple fact that these ladies can also just straight play the game of golf. And play the game extremely well!

1. Tiger (required)
2. President Eisenhower (since he was a fanatical golfer as we have read so much recently)
3. King James IV of Scotland (since he lifted the ban on golf in Scotland in 1502, not that anyone followed the ban anyways apparently), and
4. Winston Churchill (mostly because he has that awesome quote, "Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose." If there is anyone to show-off modern technology's "ill-designed" clubs, it's Tiger.)
And for fun, here's an interesting foursome that could actually happen in real life:
Tiger Woods, President Obama, Parker McLachlin, and Chris Mclachlin.
Obama's the president; he loves golf; this tournament's near DC at a club that claims a whole slew of past presidents as members. Parker is a PGA Tour pro who seems like a pretty nice guy, but could really use a little extra help with his game this season. Finally, Chris is Parker's dad, and he was Obama's high school basketball coach, which makes Chris one of very few people who can call Obama, "Barry," to his face and get away with it.

Tiger has a great smile, we need to see it more often. However, those three
may cost him a stroke or two!
