Franklin Templeton Shootout 2011: TV Schedule, Tee Times For Friday
The 2011 Franklin Templeton Shootout begins Friday with Keegan Bradley and Webb Simpson among the stars.
The format for the tournament consists of 12 two-man teams playing three rounds of alternate shot, better ball, and scramble. The event is quite fun, as you can see from this notebook item from the local News-Press.com:
In 2007, after hitting their approach shots to the 18th green in the final round, (Camilo) Villegas and then-teammate Chris DiMarco, both former University of Florida golfers, donned Tim Tebow jerseys that had been stashed in their golf bags and ran a short passing play in the fairway with a golf ball.The defending champions, Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter, are not participating because Johnson is attending a friend’s wedding, while Poulter is playing in the European Tour’s event this weekend.
