Bubba Watson loves the Biebs

Here's a factoid you may not know about my playing partner in the PGA pro-am in Bermuda.

Bubba Watson is friends with Justin Bieber!

Here's what he said after he won the Masters...

"Justin Bieber is the only person I talked to on the phone that night after I won...He called me and I talked to him on the phone and he and Selena were congratulating me, and it was a big honor that they would both call me and talk to me."

and he puts The Biebs in his favorite golf foursome...
Tim Tebow, Justin Bieber and his wife, Angie...
awwwwwwwww, I think I'm gonna love playing with him.

Heading to Bermuda for the golf pro-am with Bubba Watson

Hey there ... headed to airport to Bermuda to play in PGA pro am before the grand slam of golf. Watch it on tnt!

Golf handicap is a GOOD thing

Golf is one of the few games (the only one?) that has a system in place to make it possible for a newbie golfer like me, to play with a much better golfer (everyone?) and actually have a possibility of winning a few holes, or even a match.

After five lessons, I haven't played enough to qualify for an official handicap - but get this: I'm playing with Bubba Watson! Glad he's on my team.

Watch as I drill one right down the middle! Glad the guys got that shot recorded. Even Bob was impressed!

I'm playing in the pro-am with Bubba Watson! Squeee

I'm a poser - but I think I do it well, amiright?

I will play alongside Masters champion Bubba Watson in the upcoming PGA Grand Slam of Golf . . . the pro-am is the day before the 36-hole tournament.

The guys from the Golf Channel Gary Williams, the host of Morning Drive, and Michael Breed, host of The Fix, and former player Ian Baker-Finch, the 1991 Open Champion will be describing every shot (in my case, I hope not EVERY shot!)

David Charles, Senior Director of Championships for The PGA of America, had some nice things to say...

Robin is new to golf and has instantly become a great ambassador for the game. She could not hide her excitement this morning when she revealed she’d be paired with Bubba Watson in Bermuda.

Wuldja believe shear terror at the thought of playing with Bubba?

All this week, I am telling my golf stories.

There will be lotso big golfer names playing next week. Defending champion Keegan Bradley, British Open winner Ernie Els and US Open champion Webb Simpson.

They are not playing for chump change guys:

The tournament is offering a $1.35 million purse, with the winner receiving $600,000, second place $300,000 third place $250,000 and fourth place $200,000.

The PGA Is Talking About Me!

Here's what the PGA had to say about our partnership and me learning to play golf...

Robin Meade is known for many things: Wife, singer, former Miss Ohio and perhaps most well-known as the host of "Morning Express with Robin Meade" on HLN. Well now, Robin Meade wants to add one more title to her resume: Golfer!

Follow along with Robin as she goes from absolute novice to a golfer who will play alongside some of golf's biggest names in just a few easy (and affordable) lessons using the PGA's "Get Golf Ready" model. Robin and a lucky viewer went through the program taught by noted golf instructor Suzy Whaley - as they not only learned how to play, but discuss the personal and professional benefits of being out on the course.

Suzy Whaley Is Teaching Me Golf

PGA pro Suzy Whaley, one of the few women to ever qualify to play against the men for a PGA event, had the task of helping teach me and one of your fellow viewers the game.

She told us that you can play with just a few lessons, and without spending a fortune.

We have help if you're a new golfer but feel intimidated at the driving range.

I Stunk Up the Golf Course, Went Shopping

It's pretty clear in this pic how I feel about my golf tonight. #stunk - and of course the PGA decided to use this "glamor" shot on their website.

see the guy in the middle? I mis-aimed and took his head off with my power golf swing!
