Argument over giving autographs to fans at events

here is a great tale of just how annoyed some stars can get over autogrpah signing for fans when they are supposed to be practising their golf at serious money spinning events, this was of course the heated exchange between jack nicklaus and gary player - what a tizzz - handbags at 10 paces

Presidents Cup captains Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player engaged in an animated exchange over players signing autographs during practise rounds on Tuesday.


Nicklaus, who is captaining the US team for a third time, confronted Player on the driving range and accused the International team captain of breaking and agreement to not allow players to sign autographs on the golf course.
World number two Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen and the International team in general were seen signing autographs throughout the day as they practised at the Robert Trent Golf Course. Later, some US team members also signed for fans.
After talking with Player, Nicklaus told fans around the driving range – as he was signing autographs – that some of his players thought the Internationals were making them look “like jerks”, said Nicklaus.
The European team drove the US to distraction at last year's Ryder Cup in Oakland Hills near Detroit, signing autographs and mingling with American fans as part of a major charm offensive designed to help diffuse some of the hostility they might face during the event.

little girl gets tiger woods photo autographed on the golf course

I thought this was a great story so had to write about it, its from the belfast telegraph in northern ireland, its the story of a little 6 year old girl who broke protocol to get her heros autogrpah and photo signed by the double crossing cheat, tiger woods lol

A six year old schoolgirl broke through the crazy over handed heavyweight security around the golfing legend that is Tiger Woods to get her golfing hero's photogrpah signed and endorsed by giving his autograph during one of his public outings whilst he was over there....

Thousands of fans who hasd made the trip to get a view of the legend, kept at a distance from the golf star, but they cheered and roared on little Ava Mulhall, from Innishannon, County Cork, after she ducked under the feeble fencing and ran onto a golf course fairway after the legendary golfing superstar.

Woods was playing at Limerick's exclusive Adare Manor course and was on the 8th hole i believ as part of a celebrity ProAm organised by one of Ireland's biggest tycoons, JP McManus who was once invoolved in the ownership of manchester united.
little Ava, who has been playing golf for over a year, already had her card signed by 19 other big-name players happy to give fans autographs - including Jose Maria Olazabal, John Daly and Fred Funk
But the elusive World No 1 had remained out of reach from everyone including this delightful little girl who just wanted an autograph.

In a daring move that drew delighted cheers from spectators, Ava darted onto the fairway and even dodged a steward who tried to block her, to get to the heavily-protected Woods.

what a great story!!!
