93.3 WMMR Mini Masters (2008-07-19)

The 2nd annual 93.3 WMMR Mini Masters contest took place at Cavanaughs' River Deck on Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia on Saturday the 19th of July, 2008. Competitors from all around gathered for festivities and a most serious round of miniature golf. This nine hole course was intense and included the dreaded loop-de-loop and windmill giving contestants the ultimate challenge in miniature golf competition. This year the grand prize was the Harley Sportster that was supplied by Barb's Harley Davidson. (www.barbshd.com) Most of the WMMR staff was out for the event. (minus the lovely Kathy Romano who was on vacation and I didn't see Nick???) Pierre Robert and Jaxon started the contest and by the end Preston, Steve, Casey, Man about town Bill Weston, Marissa and members of the WMMR Bod Squad were on hand to wrap up the finale. Unbelievably the same guy, Robert Grasso, that won last years event won this year with a hole-in-one to win the Harley.

I was not able to capture all the action that day as there were restrictions about being on the course if you were not competing. I did not have the luck of the draw to become one of the competitors that day but Dann was so lucky. He did a really good job and even sank a hole-in-one during competition but unfortunately it wasn't his day. He was not one of the six finalists but he definitely had a lot of fun. He plans on becoming a mini golf expert by next years competition in order to make it to that final round and hopefully shut down the "Tiger Woods of mini golf" that is Robert Grasso.

All the WMMR personalities were very nice and didn't mind shaking hands when greeted. Being 5ft tall I definitely felt dwarfed by their height and their muscles. Preston is a massive man and Steve is definitely part bear!! Steve had the best T-shirt....Grand Theft Auto IV...Dann was jealous.

Here are a handful of pictures capturing the action of the day...enjoy....and WMMR Rocks and Preston and Steve in the morning is Office!! Thanks for a fun event!
