SHIRTS AND SKINS
The SKINS GAME at The Memorial is always a popular attraction. Here’s how you make it even MORE of an event. When we used to play a pick-up basketball game (back in the day when I could still fade to my right) it was shirts and skins. “Skins” had to take off their shirts and then- GAME ON. I say the golfers go “true skins” when the play that charitable round of golf. Unsightly in some cases? Yes, without a doubt. Seeing The Golden Bear actually bare? A little disconcerting. John Daly without a shirt. Disturbing. But I’m attaching a dollar value to the event. In these tough economic times where corporate sponsorships are drying up for events such as The Memorial, The Skins game is the perfect opportunity to get the Coppertone people on board with their variety of sunscreen and tanning products. See?There is a method to my madness. Granted, a method that may hurt concessions for that day, because a shirtless, sweaty John daly doesn’t exactly scream “hot dog” but I’m trying to think of the bigger financial picture.
