Two new restaurants will be opening in East Memphis over the next few months. The Happy Mexican will open its second Memphis location on Primacy Parkway in the space formerly occupied by the Cock-eyed Camel and Grady's. A local investor has announced plans to open Sharky's Gulf Grill in the building that used to be the home of Steak & Ale.
Memphis Tigers basketball coach Josh Pastner has landed his first commitment. Latavious Williams committed today at his Houston, TX high school. There are already eligibility concerns associated with Williams, but he is a much needed commitment for Pastner. Williams isn't a Top 5 recruit, but Top 20 is a good start.
The St. Jude Classic received additional player commitments from well known names like Sergio Garcia and Memphis favorite John Daly. Hopefully Daly will be sporting some Loudmouth Golf gear.
Maybe Classic officials and Memphians will follow Daly's lead and wear pink (shirts, pants, Pink Day, whatever) during the tournament. Daly pulled out the pink pants to over the weekend to support Amy Mickelson and her fight with breast cancer. Mickelson is the wife of Phil Mickelson, who has put his golf game on hold (including dropping out of the St. Jude Classic) to be with Amy. Good job John!
Gold Strike Casino has announced that it will sponsor a Hooters Professional Golf Tour event. It will be played June 8-14 at Tunica National Golf Course. Will Hooter's girls be on the course? It seems like the only way they will be able to compete with the St. Jude Classic being held the same week.
Ladies and gentlemen, John Daly and friends.
