About 4 years ago, I made the call to sponsor a Junior tournament for my casino. Today, in its 3rd year, this happened:

I have been rubbing elbows with Tiger and Notah the last 2 days. Can hardly believe it. Thought it could grow, didn't think it would get me this kind of exposure so quickly..

No, but I do help to run one, and handle.all marketing and sponsorships.

Still can't believe that Tiger and Charlie Woods are here.

What kind of room did yall put him up in? He seems like he would be kind of a dick if you didn't have the presidential suite for him, or whatever yall have.

Wow what a Jackass comment, I'm guessing you're the guy who enters the charity scramble with four 30 handicaps and shoots a net 38 right. I mean he's only won 15 majors...think he's earned that suite, don't you?

He has actually been a pretty good guy. Seemed very upset with himself when his son went from 2 under to 1 over on the last hole - dropping him from 6th to 21st on day 1.

Yes, he got a suite, but in the casino biz, anyone with the potential for that much action on the tables would get the same.

Posed for tons of pictures on the course, so far, and will hopefully be back in future years.

We are currently ranked #1 in Louisiana, and number 18 in the country by GolfAdvisor, and we have been reinvesting in the course the last few years.

It is a nice course, with a good mix of challenging holes and holes that anyone can play. Getting a ton of compliments on the course this week, and Notah loves it, FWIW.

Eh, I stand by it. I've watched enough of him and read enough about him to form that opinion. I am glad to hear that he didn't come across that way to the OP. Being a dad changes folks, but maybe my media driven thoughts on the guy were off base.

And, nobody earned anything that is given out for free. Be humble and grateful. If it is not what you want, politely decline and go spend your own money. I will state again that TW always came across to me as someone that would complain that his free stuff wasn't good enough. Again, glad it appears that is not the case in the example given by the OP. Allow me to add, I am a Tiger Woods fan. Well, golfing Tiger that is.
