If The Golf Thing Doesn't Pan Out, Graeme Can Always Tend Bar
/Nona Blue opened recently according to the Orlando Sentinel and golf.com posted a nice (quick) video of Graeme McDowell showing how to properly tap and serve a Guiness from his newly opened restaurant. There is also a slideshow posted by USA Today.
Reminder to all the mooching media in Orlando this week: Graeme is offering free beer to PGA Tour media badge holders. Try to represent the profession well by not ordering the left side of the menu, okay? And DiMeglio, don't go every day please?
Yours truly asked this tough question at the World Challenge that McDowell won last December:
Q. You mentioned the free drinks that we're all entitled to at your bar when it opens. Can you take this opportunity to tell us the name of it? How much are you going to be working on that here during your off time, and have you thought of a tradition that the bar might have when you actually win a tournament?
GRAEME McDOWELL: Yeah. The bar's called Nona Blue. It's a tavern restaurant. It's just outside the gates of Lake Nona. Free bars are with PGA TOUR media credentials only.
Traditionally when I win an event I call home to my home golf club. Lake Nona has kind of become my second home golf club, and I typically have a free bar for the members for a defined period of time, obviously.
