Twenty-Eight handicappers, moderators, on-line publication producers, and sports-
Gambling magazine creators recently met in Costa Rica at MVP Sportbook?s first Annual 2004 Golf Tournament at the prestigious Los Suenos Resort (May 7-11).
From cocktails getting out the door of the limousine to the model-escorted threesome on the golf course (careful phrasing), hard-core degenerates were pampered from start to finish as MVP put on quite a show.
By trip?s end, womanizer and golf cheat Al Kelner, a.k.a. OC Dooley, was quoted as saying ?how does one get back to reality? when facing the task of returning to the states and full-time handicapping. The entire group echoed that sentiment as seemingly every detail was covered better than a 10-0 ATS spread team.
Handicappers, moderators, and media moguls will never be known as Jenny Craig spokespeople, and the accommodations at the two Marriott properties certainly didn?t help. The chow was first class and it was certainly not a good week to begin the Atkins diet. Beating a path to the buffet line, Meat and Potatoes own Dave Scandaliato put it appropriately saying ?this puts Vegas to shame.?
But in the end it was the customer services that MVP provides their clientele on a daily basis that most impressed the invited guests. This included several visits to adult establishments where the bylaws that govern similar retreats in the states do not apply. Once again OC Dooley took center stage at a pre-arranged bachelor party in which he surprisingly bellowed, ?The hell with the wedding, I?m in fantasyland.? We can only hope the future Mrs. OC Dooley gets erroneous reports out of San Jose and Jaco.
As for the golf tournament itself, it certainly appeared the three-some of Dan Ferreira, Mike Mumbauer, and Michael Schaefer were in the drivers seat at five strokes over par in the scramble-type format. However their golf cart hit a serious pothole when arriving at the 19th watering hole and witnessing a ?69? or minus-three led by the unscrupulous OC Dooley, who has the reputation of doctoring his won/loss record with handicapping results. To his credit, he was playing with Jamie Faidley, who is obviously no stranger to the links.
Without question the biggest controversy of the first-class event occurred at the awards ceremony when MVP spokesman and boss-man Dalton Wagner blushingly announced the ?longest drive? winner as Al Kelner, a.k.a. OC Dooley. Once again Dooley?s morals where put in serious doubt as his stature represents 50 percent of a white version of Manute Bol. Fellow golfer Rocky Atkinson was quick to point out ?he?d have to have a missile launcher out of his ass to drive the ball that far.? Although no doctor was on the scene, countless looks where observed below the waste of Dooley, who ungraciously accepted the fossil watch and jammed in down his pocket for safekeeping. This author can only verify Dooley?s drives at the range reached 28 feet, a far cry from the 280-yard poke from Dan Ferreira that day.
After four serious days of fun and sun with some of the most beautiful women this planet can offer, a beneficial two-hour workshop was offered in a brainstorming like atmosphere. Wagner announced that MVP is dedicating 6.5 million in advertising for 2004 and that he would like nothing better than to execute joint ventures with the group in attendance. I can guarantee you that caught the attention of the 28 degenerates in the house.
MVP should be commended for staging the first and hopefully more golf tournaments. The attention to detail was a marvel to witness and the accommodations were top notch. Many thanks go to Laura and Sandra, the two gals for orchestrating this prestigious event. If MVP?s customer service is any reflection of how they treat the invitees to Costa Rica, there shouldn?t be a gambler on the planet that won?t be delighted with this offshore sports book.
