Hey Keri, did I hear right that you are hosting a new show on The Golf Channel?

I was still having the same problem seeing the video today as yesterday. I uninstalled my flash player and upgraded to the new player. Now, today, I can see the video. Yeah!!! Hope this helps someone else.

Jeff - that’s great to know about the flash upgrade and everyone should do that regardless of whether or not they’ve been having problems viewing the video on our site. We’ll do it, too. Thanks for the tip!

I know GN has an impeccable research team, but I can seriously not find any mention of Ernie Els winning any medals this year. I even checked other categories than the sports. Are you absolutely positive ? Thanks, jeff

Jeff,
Well, our research team certainly isn’t perfect - as most of you well know - and we do mistakes now and then but this question, and the answers, came to us direct from the PR Agency handling the event.We didn’t even have to research it! Just in case anyone else is interested, here is the complete list of winners from The Wine World of Sports competition held in L.A. - which includes Els’ win:
“The competition was indeed stiff, with the worlds of golf, racing and hockey formidably represented. Here are the Top 10 winners:
1. LASORDA, Pinot Grigio, Veneto IGT 2007, Best Wine, Best of Class, Gold Medal,
2. JOHN DALY WINES, The Perfect Round, Red Blend, Stellenbosch 2003, Best of Class, Gold Medal
3. GREG NORMAN CALIFORNIA ESTATES, Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County 2006, Best of Class, Gold Medal

Thanks for the clarification. I went back to the results page for the competition and found the Guardian Peak wine listed. It just doesn’t list Ernie Els’ name. Just a little more research showed me it was his vineyard. Got me.
