The inaugural TourPlayers.com Beer Pong Ping Pong Championship, hosted at Steve Marino’s home, will take place on Friday night. The tourney will be live-streamed at TourPlayers.com from 8pm-10pm ET. Confirmed attendees include Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, among others. Former Golf Channel broadcaster Mike Ritz will call the tournament and esteemed broadcaster Bob Bubka will do the color. Yours truly will carry out the live-blogging and/or live-tweeting of the festivities.
Steve is feeling pretty good about his chances since he has home-court advantage. Take a gander at his moves in the video after the jump:
Marino shot six-over 76 in the first round of the Honda Classic. He’s going to need a pretty good round to make the cut. Otherwise, he says there might be some adult beverages consumed. I’ve been pushing for a beer pong tournament. Actually, here’s an idea — the guys could play beer pong Dartmouth style (involves use of paddles to hit a ping pong ball into cups of beer) — then we’ll have the best of both worlds!
For some reason, my suggestion probably won’t materialize until after the cameras are off. But I mean, wouldn’t that be so much more entertaining? Methinks so.
Because it’s Friday night where most of you guys are hopefully away from your computers, I’m wondering if you guys would tune in if I did a live-blog or if you think live-tweeting will suffice. Let me know what you think!
Either way, it’s going to be a fun night and be sure to watch the action-packed invitational on TourPlayers.com.
Sounds like a blast – live tweeting would be fine with me. As a suggestion, since you don’t have to post a score tomorrow, have some beers for them. Either way have fun & I look forward to your tweets. Cheers!
Loving the reports Stephanie, you’re bringing some much needed spice to those of us that follow the tour!
If some of the Swedes get invited, I’m guessing Marino is toast tonight. As far as coverage, I’d keep it simple as most everyone I know has plans to go out.
Keep them coming!
Groupie!
Sounds like fun, and after the way the course is playing they might need some beverages.
For future ping pong I wanna see Kuch play, and Phil and Tiger team up and not get beat
Um, yeah… Dustin Johnson might want to just watch when you guys play beer pong.
they should add darts and billiards and form the post-modern triathlon
@johnny – that is the best idea i have heard all day
