Set Your DVR's For Cape Kidnappers And Stevie's Announcing Debut

Word is the world's richest luggage looper was so good, NBC's rethinking their 11:30 Tonight Show transfer from Leno to Conan.

Just how good was Stevie Williams on the Kiwi Challenge, airing Saturday and Sunday at 4 pm. EST? So good, you won't care that you are getting to see the spectacular Renaissance Golf Design effort at Cape Kidnappers.

Just look at this endorsement from executive producer Jim Walton Jr., courtesy of the saints at Brener-Zwikel:

 Steve Williams was fantastic. One of the great things to look forward to are his pieces traveling around on a helicopter the Robertsons provided. He started in Auckland, then went to the 90 Mile Beach in the north and shot a piece in the rainforest with the oldest and largest living tree in the world. He also released a rare kiwi bird on a preserve the Robertsons set up at Cape Kidnappers.

Okay, I swear I didn't touch Stevie's press release remarks:

On what stood out for him during his debut: “The knowledge and statistics that the commentary team had on every player.”

On how it went for him: “I really enjoyed the experience and have learned a lot about another part of the game.”

Interesting story: “On the thirteenth hole at Kauri Cliffs the moment Hunter Mahan's second shot left the club I knew it was well over the green and my first thought was that it was a bad yardage. But these days, caddies who work for this calibre of player don't make mistakes with yardages. I made the call on air which was a poor call on my behalf, however it was the first thought in my head.”

Ever?

I watched part of the Saturday coverage and all of the Sunday coverage. Saw some great silly season golf on two stunning golf courses. Cape Kidnappers looks incredible and as Doak said on the telecast is designed to be playable by golfers of all skill levels.

Hunter Mahan put on a freaking clinic over the final 6 holes. I am blown away by the leaps that he and Kim have made in their game in the last 12-18 months. The US finally has some rock solid stars to follow along in the Tiger Woods slipstream.

i though it funny that the KIWI , while being released, tried to bite anthony kim and steves on-air response was the bird could smell kim was not a new zealander

i don't know if this is allowable here but the website; http://www.thekiwichallenge.com has some spectacular images of the courses and coverage
