The Senator Course in Miami Lakes which has hosted the Miami Golf Invitational for the past 5 years, and again will be the host course in 2012 just received a fantastic review on Golf Talk Lounge. Click here to read more.
The course is a challenging venue, and worth the trip.
We have enjoyed the staff at not only the golf course, but also at the Shula’s Original Steak House which is on site. Great People, and great fun.

Simply Naked Cabernet Sauvignon! What attracted me to this bottle of wine? The Name, of course, Simply Naked!
Then I looked at the label, and I discovered that the winemaker has chosen not to oak age the wine which allows the fruit flavors of plum and black cherry shine through.
The wine is a value priced wine, and full of fruit taste. You can learn more at the Simply Naked Wine website.
Enjoy and Drink up.
Spier Wines are from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Spier Wines have been around for over 200 years it seems. Recently, I sampled the Chenin Blan, Sav Blanc, and Pinotage, and all were excellent wines and also represented great value.
The Pinotage is unique to South Africa. Pinotage is a red wine grape that is South Africa’s signature variety. It was bred there in 1925 as a cross between Pinot noir and Cinsaut.
The whites are nicely done, and the Pinotage is well worth trying. I would certainly say give this vineyard a shot, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
The 2011 Justin Timberlake Shriners Open in Las Vegas concluded today with Kevin Na holding off Nick Watney.
The MGI Team was out there live to watch it, and a few of the comments are shared below:
“The course looks great, but some of these pros struggle with their short games.” said Allen Grant “I was out there watching the final couple of groups, and they were missing par 3 greens, not getting sand shots as close as you would expect from a pro, and missing short putts. Kevin Na did knock down a great putt at the 17th which locked up the win!”
There is more recap available at one of our partner sites. Golf Talk Lounge.
“I thought the play was great, and it was good to see David Duval and Robert Garrigus playing well again!” said MVG 2011 Craig Goleno. “I love how Garrigus uses a 28 1/2 inch putter when everyone else has gong to these 45 inch plus long putters!”
