Shark: The Team Loved My Fashion Choices And Want Me Back

I would not have read Greg Norman's Shark Shootout presser if it weren't for Mike O'Malley's tweet, and boy am I glad I suffered through it to learn that the International squad wants their leader back.

Q.  Were you touched by that though when the guys came back and said, Hey, we didn't get the Ws, but we like the way you ran the team and we want you back?

GREG NORMAN:  I think that was the overwhelming message.  We loved our clothing.  We loved the atmosphere.  We loved everything you did.  We know you put your heart and soul into it.

He has a...I won't go there.

But at the same time, one of the comments that came out of it was, Hey, you got all the great ideas how to make the Presidents Cup better.  You should be part of a victory because of those ideas.  Why give it to somebody else?  That was the comments.

Uhm...you had two cups to use those "ideas" to get a win and it didn't happen. Right? Did I miss a memo?

The Shark also blabbed on about the Olympic design contest, which includes a strict non-disclosure agreement that he apparently hasn't gotten around to reading yet.

Many funny parts but the best is his revelation that when he goes down to Rio for the final presentation, he still will not have personally inspected the site.

Q.  Greg, your design company is a finalist for the Olympic golf course.  Can you talk about that process and how you feel about it.

GREG NORMAN:  Well, the process has been an arduous one, to say the least.  It's been a very, very short timeframe on the execution of an RFP.

As team we got together and got a consortium of different companies we needed to get together, like a land planner and a lawyer in Brazil.  Working with Lorena at the same time.

We did a monumental task.  Along with all the other final qualifiers that got there, we had to do a monumental task.

Now you're in there.  Unfortunately, I can't even go down because it's on Monday.  All the information that's given to us on Monday, and then we have until the end of January to do it.  You're only allowed to look at the piece of property probably one time, and then you have to go ahead and do your routing.

Then I'll go down and do the final presentation early part of January, early part of February.  Lorena will probably go down with me, and we'll sit there and we'll do our ‑‑ we're allowed ‑‑ we have 45 minutes, and there is I think one other individual allowed to be in that presentation, or one other group of the eight, and then they roll onto another two and another two for the next day.
