The Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational was held at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas. This was the first time that the general public was able to visit Shadow Creek which ranks near the top of everyone’s best of courses.
The course was incredibly beautiful and it played tough as only a handful of the twosomes were able to break par in the two day scramble event.
Michael Jordan partnered with Toni Kukoc to win the event.

The Miami Golf Invitational 2011 has arrived.
In a pre tournament release from Todd Keiper, he stated, “Team TK is ready for to take back the MGI Cup!”
Early weather temperatures show high 70′s and low 80′s most days.
Sam Messina has already arrived at the Senator Course for an early practice round. In a conference call with Craig Goleno back in Las Vegas, he reported that he shot 43 on the back nine, but had a bad front nine (the easier side). He also stated that he played from the white tee box with a couple from Denmark and the woman shot a 79, and birdied both 1 & 18.
“I told her that I have never seen anyone make birdie on hole one from any tee box!” exclaimed an excited Sam.
“Gol, she was also very attractive, a 5ft 11″ blonde that would have easily beat Grant or Mez!”
The rest of the MGI group is hopefully watching the PGA match play to get ready for some of the same situations that each and everyone may face at the Senator.

For bettors, this is a difficult week.
Six-time champion at the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open Tiger Woods makes his season debut this week. With his fall-season strides in his game, he appears really “ready” this season to return to championship form.
Woods was winless in 2010.
But, for the betting public, Woods is a 3-to-1 favorite this week. When you factor in that he loves Torrey Pines Golf Club — site of his last major at U.S. Open — Woods could be the pick if you have funds and guts to lay the money.
With those difficult odds, perhaps other options are more appealing like Steve Marino. He has been in a good form, contending in Hawaii, and has the long game to compete here. And, at 60-1, he provides a great return on investment.
There are also some solid plays in the 30-to-1 range like Anthony Kim, Hunter Mahan and Charles Howell III, who has several runner-up finishes here. Problem is only outright winners pay.
Defending champions are always worth a look — remember last week when Bill Haas rallied Saturday and Sunday to make it into a playoff before losing. Ben Crane won here in 2010 (without Woods in the field). He’s also 30-1 on the betting board.
Last week’s Bob Hope Classic champion Jhonattan Vegas is in the field at 80-1 to go back-to-back in the winner’s circle. Don’t count it.
