Holly's World And We're Just Living In It
/Here is my Local Knowledge item on Holly Sonders getting one of four celeb invites to the Humana Challenge this week.
As I reported in a worldwide, life-changing exclusive on Morning Drive, Sonders's pros for the event are Brandt Snedeker, Bo Van Pelt and Jamie Lovemark. Not a bad draw as far as fun PGA Tour players to watch and talk to.

/Four Christmas Day airings of the World Long Drive Championship netted 461,000 total viewers, giving Golf Channel surprisingly good numbers for a week of re-runs.
Even more bizarre: 118,000 viewers on average for a Saturday, December 28th prime time re-run of the BMW Championship, landing fourth for the week behind the World Long Drive airings whose numbers were easily explained by the need for families to take a break from one another. And what could be more soothing than watching grown men bash a ball?
As always Son of the Bronx posts the numbers.
