Who Wants Free Tickets to the AT&T National This Week?


Ahhh, free. It really is a word without a definition these days. Just last week, a girl friend of mine was telling me a Starbucks story where she drove up to the window, and the lady told her she was the sixth car in a row that had bought the coffee for the car behind, sort of like a "pay it forward" type deal. "So, did you buy the guy behind you coffee," I asked. "Yes, of course," she answered. "So it wasn't really free," I mused. I got a cranky look from the girl.

Well, this is free. A free contest for some AT&T National tickets this week, to go see Tiger Woods and the boys play at Congressional. No strings attached.

Yellowpages.com has handed me two tickets to the event to give away, and by gosh, I'm going to give them away. Here is the details ...

During the AT&T National, YELLOWPAGES.COM mobile concierges will be in the AT&T Digital Clubhouse and around the entrance to the D.C. Congressional (course map) to help tournament-goers find anything they need locally – top-rated burger joints in D.C., a cab service for the end of the night or golf stores to get that new club that Tiger uses. YELLOWPAGES.COM is used by over 20M consumers a month, and we’re extending the experience to make sure consumers have a convenient way to discover and explore while on the go.

The tickets are good for entrance on either Saturday 7/4 or Sunday 7/5, and include pairings guides and free parking.


So, two tickets, one weekend day, and you get to see Tiger slapping it around the golf course. Since I know I'll get millions hundreds of responses, I decided to have a little contest. Since the 4th of July is upcoming, I wanted to hear a good golf-related story with the holiday. It can be a funny golf scramble story, it can involve some sort of firework display gone wrong at your course or it can even be deeper than that, involving something with a veteran or person serving our country. If you're in the military and want to go, just let me know and you will be automatically bumped to the top of the list.

These are free tickets, and we just want some good responses. Forward around the link to some friends and all responses should be e-mailed to me at shanebacon at gmail dot com.

Thanks to AT&T and Yellowpages.com.

(Also, small disclaimer ... obviously you need to be somewhat in the area to win. If you're not, sorry, but I'm not sending the tickets to dudes in Seattle, Washington so you can put them on your wall.)
