A BLISTERING NO-SHOW BY GREG NORMAN AT BLACK-TIE DINNER
FROM THE CBS SPORTS.COM WEBSITE
SYDNEY -- Greg Norman's no-show at a black-tie dinner marking the 100th anniversary of the Professional Golfers Association of Australia prompted plenty of rumours, yet had a simple explanation.
The rumour mill flowed at the Australian Open: that the Australian had snubbed his own PGA, that a courtesy car sent for him hadn't arrived. Instead, as Norman revealed later, he had a bad blister on his left heel -- so bad that he left The Lakes course on Friday in bare feet.
So the thought of putting on dress shoes on to attend the function at Sydney Town Hall was out of the question. Organisers got Adam Scott and Robert Allenby to replace him in a panel discussion, and Australian PGA officials apologised to the crowd of 400 on Norman's behalf.
