Oops! Sorry Nancy, I didn't see it.

Jake's hard to categorize between Related Artist and Coral Reefer... but I always figure "once a Reefer, always a Reefer!"

Your post about today is MUCH MORE informative... I tried looking a little when I got the email, but obviously in the wrong spot. THANK YOU!!

PGA TOUR Season Kicks Off with 'Opening Drive'
By GOLFCHANNEL.com Team - December 27, 2007

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It’s imbedded in sports tradition – the coin toss, the first pitch, the opening tip-off – and now golf will have its Opening Drive to kick off the 2008 PGA TOUR season, which will air on GOLF CHANNEL, Jan. 3 at 3 p.m. ET.
The first tee shot of the year will take place at 10:44 a.m. Hawaii Time (3:44 p.m. ET) on Jan. 3 from the #1 tee at Kapalua’s picturesque Plantation Course on the island of Maui. GOLF CHANNEL cameras will be there to capture it live, but not before first bringing viewers all the color and pageantry of the Opening Drive ceremonies that will begin with a traditional Hawaiian blessing from an island priest, followed by a presentation of colors by Hawaiian Palace color guard, a performance by internationally acclaimed ukulele player Jack Shimabukuro, a presentation of our national anthem and an Air Force flyover.
Joe Torre, the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will serve the roll of Honorary Starter and will introduce PGA TOUR pro Stephen Ames, who will take the first official shot of the year.

Throughout the hour-long special, GOLF CHANNEL analysts and personalities, including Kelly Tilghman, Nick Faldo, Mark Rolfing, Rich Lerner, Jerry Foltz, Dottie Pepper and Billy Andrade, will talk to pros preparing their games for 2008 and show a little golf along the way.

Live golf action begins later in prime time on GOLF CHANNEL with the first round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship at 6 p.m. ET.

It's on...not Jake yet...but the program called Opening Drive.

And the Opening Day CEREMONY is on now.

Wow, always chilling!! Way to go, Jake!!

Awesome job Jake!!!!!

I don't get the Golf Channel. I get 4 or 5 shopping channels, a soccer channel and about 20 channels in languages I don't speak but no Golf Channel.

Both last week's Mercedes tournament and this week's Sony have featured Jake quite prominently, going to and from commercial breaks or just his music in the background. The staff at the Golf Channel is definitely impressed.

clicked on the link for Jake's show tonight, and there he was on the venue site - cool!

They just showed Jake again in Honolulu on the golf channel. It is so much fun. They commented the he has been traveling around with them for the last two weeks.

Neat.

Tiki - Are you going to the Jake show in Chicago on 04/26? It's listed twice but it appears to be the same except one is for balcony seats and the other is for floor seats.

I'm sure I will... Too close to home, to even think about missing!

Just a heads up that the Chicago show is almost sold out---bought my tickets last night and couldn't believe how few seats were left!
