Reality Show Comes to HHI

Citing a decline in ratings in the 12-18 demographic, the Golf Channel has announced that it will drop "Being John Daley", replacing it with a new reality show entitled "Spoon for A Day".

"In the eyes of our viewers, the life of a fallen, former PGA champion was simply too mundane compared to that of Chris Wenning, an erstwhile traveling salesman from Alpharetta, Georgia", said Kelly Tilghman, Golf Channel analyst. "As the sole male living in a house full of females (wife Mary; daughters Lindsay, Leslie, and Laura Grace; feline Daisy; canine Lilly), we believe 'Spoon for A Day' will provide compelling drama for our female audience, while male viewers will flock to watch the hijinks that ensue in Spoon's annual golf trip to Hilton Head Island. Think along the lines of Caddyshack meets Jersey Shore."

Sponsored by Luther's B-B-Q in Macon ("You don't need no teef to eat our beef") and Natural Light beer, the show will air live from Hilton Head Island during the 2010 Dixie Cup Matches at 1:00 am PDT on April 14-17, with a cameo appearance from John Daley each evening.

The Most Interesting Man on HHI

The Tournament Committee is pleased to announce that Dos Equis has been selected as the Official Beer of The 2010 Dixie Cup Matches.

Lodging Update

In an effort to help his team maintain their focus during the upcoming Dixie Cup, Captain Spoon has announced that Team Georgia will be staying at the General Putnam Motel, located 62 miles from Hilton Head. In addition to keeping his boys on a tight leash each night, the economics simply proved too compelling for Spoon to pass up (nighly rate $39.00, double-occupancy, with free parking).

Team Georgia members can also upgrade to the Confederate Club level (double-wide trailer) for an extra $20.00/night, earning triple "Putnam Points" that can be redeemed for a free breakfast (regular value = $1.50), as well as nightly manager's reception offering complimentary boiled peanuts, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, and continuous Dukes of Hazzard reruns on the motel's 12" black & white Philco TV.

Whether you decide to upgrade or not, please remember to bring your own towels.

The 2010 Dixie Cup begins one month from today! As we head into the home stretch, our preparations are virtually complete - flights have been booked, lodgings reserved, and our tee times confirmed. As you pack for the trip, let the above picture serve as a guide for what NOT to wear on Hilton Head Island.

If you want to pack light, just create a sign to wear around your neck that says "KICK MY ASS. PLEASE.". You'll provoke the same reaction From the Low Country locals, while conserving space in your luggage to carry more beer, personal hygiene products, golf balls, and other essential items.

Preparations H (HI)

With five weeks to go, preparations for the 2010 Dixie Cup are moving into high gear, with Team Georgia already in two-a-days led by their erstwhile captain and couch surfer, Captain Spoon. In this picture taken from the clubhouse, Spoon is shown practicing his pre-shot routine, visualizing how to execute his approach to a tight pin at Hilton Head National (or perhaps to the biscuits & gravy at the Denny's breakfast buffet).

Truly, a leader of men!
