Finally, A Reason To Play L.A.!

The chance to play Riviera before its George Thomas design is completely gone? That's nothing compared with the Northern Trust Open's new player perk for helping with those 90-minute drives back to the hotel room east of the course that you should never have booked.

Mercedes-Benz Named Official Car Sponsor of Northern Trust Open
Two-year agreement includes Mercedes-Benz 2010 GLK 350 as hole-in-one car at 14th hole

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif., January 27, 2009 – Mercedes-Benz has been named Official Car Sponsor of the Northern Trust Open. Under terms of the two-year agreement, Mercedes-Benz will provide a hole-in-one vehicle at the 14th hole each year and hand over the keys to a new Mercedes-Benz courtesy car for every player to drive during the tournament. For 2009 the all-new Mercedes-Benz 2010 GLK 350 will be the hole-in-one vehicle and the players will be driving Mercedes-Benz vehicles consisting of a variety of BlueTEC clean diesels, S-Class sedans, and GLK SUV’s.

“We are delighted to establish this partnership with Mercedes-Benz,” said Northern Trust Open Tournament Director Tom Pulchinski. “Mercedes-Benz has a wonderful reputation for building outstanding motor vehicles and its brand is a perfect fit with the rich history of the Northern Trust Open.”

Rich Beem would like to trade up the Nissan he won for his ace a few years ago on #14.

I see that you are spewing out more of your foul and hurtful stuff.

At least you didn't steal one of our pictures.

Stop stealing photos and copyrighted content

From a friend,

What is your problem? I see that you are spewing on almost every post. Have you heard of "fair use"? Moreover, Geoff links to the source material. What else is he supposed to do? Seriously, stop ruining this site for those of us who enjoy it.

Is it hurtful?

Someone would have to be awfully sensitive to find any hurt speak in this item.

Perhaps the word 'Mercedes' is foul and hurtful ? Other than that I'm at a loss.

I never thought Geoff would attract a troll, but there you have it. They are everywhere now. "from a friend" is a disturbed individual and clearly not a golfer. Because not one of us is disturbed. Right?

[ReverendTMac]

Maybe the Mercs are what Geoff moves his photographers in? Is that pretty lucrative, Geoff? I need to find a side business. Let me know...

[Pickworth]

Bugger the photos and copyright content! I've had my soul stolen. That really hurts.
