Bringin' the NASCAR

In a world where golf is king...

It's been a weird transition so far from working in NASCAR to working for the PGA. The people are different, the work is different, the clients are different, the surroundings are different...

It's just a little Twilight Zone-ish to try and fake my way through a day meeting with clients and pretend like I know diddly poo about golf.

This week has been hectic, and I needed something to make me feel more at home.

So I brought in something to decorate my cube in the office here at Valhalla Golf Club. It's a little away from the norm, and it certainly isn't an artist rendition of Tiger on the 18th tee at the 04 Championship...

My co-worker came up to help me hang this glorious piece at my desk, and wrinkling his forehead exclaimed, "Honey, this ain't NASCAR anymore!"

Smiling, pointing to my head, I replied, "It is up here my friend..."

You can take the girl out of racing, but you can't take the racing out of the girl...

Boogity.

1) I envy whatever it is you do. First NASCAR now the PGA? What do you do exactly?

2) Technically, I am a Special Event Coordinator.

So basically, I go from sport to sport planning fan-related events.

I started at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Moved to Minor League Baseball (worked for a few teams)
Then transitioned to NASCAR.
Now I am with the PGA at the Ryder Cup...

Who knows what's next... But if anyone's hiring, I will need a job after my contract is up with the PGA :)

3) Any chance you want to throw an event for Humdingers at, I don't know say, Augusta, GA next month from the 7th through the 13th?

4) I already have an event title.

I will be working on all the details for "Humdinger's Ball" over the next few weeks.

Actually, you know what would be a better idea? We should have a Hundinger's Reunion at Lebowski Fest this summer. Dave? Denny? Your thoughts?

6) We're there Betsy! Its in Chicago right? When is it? I am dying to go to Chicago and it might be ok to visit Dave and Courtney too.

7) No way man. The REAL Lebowski fest is in Louisville... There are several imitations in other cities (Chicago, LA, etc), but Louisville is the original.

8) Ok, go ahead and book us for the event. We will need a booth and a golf cart. Dave will need a unicycle. And we need something to hand out with Humzoo on it. Possibly paper airplanes will work and that fits our budget nicely.

9) Betsy - You work for the PGA! Can I send you my resume?

10) Speaking of merchandizing, when do we get the free Humzoo shirts we were promised when we became humdingers? I'm sure I read a T-shirt comes with the yearly membership!

11) If there is a humdinger ball can there maybe be a humzooer hang out in the parking lot for those of us too poor to get inside? I was thinking we could maybe play four square to our car radios. Maybe have drawings for half price upgrades? Talk about if humdingers have moved from the grey goose to the fine bubbly inside?

I'm sure Betsy can come out every couple hours and teach us some tail gate games from her days in Nascar.

12) Yeah Ben, that sounds totally do-able. The outdoor humzooer gathering would be the best.

I will have to secure some huge muscly bouncers to make sure none of you try to get inside though.

(But don't worry, I will sneak out some bubbly every few minutes)
