Groups we're watching: Round 1, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
By Mark Spoor, PGATOUR.com Coordinating Producer
Another week with the celebrities at Pebble Beach. We'll look at the celebrity parings, and a LIVE@ pairing or two. Remember, celebrity handicaps are in parenthesis.
All times eastern.
Peter Jacobsen/ Huey Lewis (11), Craig Stadler/ Glenn Frey (16)
Tee time: 11 a.m.
Course: Poppy Hills, Tee 1
Why you should watch: Like you need a reason? Glenn Frey and Huey Lewis in the same pairing? "I want a new drug" meets "Hotel California"? Of course, if you're younger than 35, all of this is probably lost on you.
If you do fall into that age group, do yourself a favor and watch Back to the Future about 900 times then follow it up with some Eagles CDs and you'll be caught up with the rest of the class. It may help if you could also see your way clear to grow a mullet.
Bob Burns/Ray Romano (16), John Daly/Kevin James (18)
Tee time: Noon
Course: Poppy Hills, Tee No. 1
Why you should watch: The jokes alone should make this the top celebrity group of the day. Again, to get the full effect, this requires some homework. Romano and James did a documentary for HBO a couple of years ago called, "Ray Romano & Kevin James: Making the Cut - The Road to Pebble Beach." It documents their attempt to make the cut for this tournament a couple of years ago.
And you thought Ray's obsession with golf was just for his character on "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Justin Leonard/Leslie Moonves (18), Joe Ogilvie/Al Michaels (18)
Tee time: 1 p.m.
Course: Poppy Hills, Tee No. 1
Why you should watch: Leonard had a bit of a tough Sunday at the FBR, so it'll be interesting to see how he rebounds. Really, though, the interesting part of this foursome is the two celebrities.
For those who are not TV geeks, like myself, Moonves is the s President and Chief Executive Officer of CBS. Michaels, of course, is the voice of Sunday Night Football -- on NBC.
Wonder if there might be some informal negotiations going on today.
Kevin Streelman/Chris O'Donnell (7) Jonathan Moore/Luke Wilson (12)
Tee time: 1:20 p.m.
Course: Poppy Hills, Tee No. 1
Why you should watch: We'll call this one, "Ladies' Choice," with O'Donnell, who for me will always be known as Charlie Simms from "Scent of A Woman" (WHOWAH!) and Wilson, who will forever be known as Mitch Martin from "Old School" (At this point, you might be asking yourself, 'why am I holding this 30lb. Cinder block in my hands?).
For you hardcore golfers, Streelman is the PGA TOUR rookie who gained attention earlier this year when he was in the final pairing Saturday with Tiger Woods at the Buick Invitational.
LIVE@ PAIRING OF THE DAY
David Duval, Hunter Mahan
Tee time: 12:20 p.m.
Course: Pebble Beach, Tee No. 1
Why you should watch: Duval makes his third apperance on TOUR this year and looks for his first made cut of the year. Mahan, meanwhile, has two top-30s this year, but is also looking to bounce back from a missed cut last week at the FBR Open.
