I came to the PGA Show hoping to get away from musicians posing as golfers. Both the real musicians and the Taylor Hicks kind. But there I was on the first night of the golf industry’s mad mixer, checking out the Hard Rock Hotel around midnight and up pulls the biggest black limo ever seen.

And out pops Kenny G. Yes, the curly haired saxophone tooting man of elevator music legend. A glance into G’s limo shows a pulsating blue interior and enough alcohol to keep John Daly sated for a week. You just don’t expect Kenny G. to be rolling in a rig that could make a rapper swoon. The entourage is there too, though G’s men are wearing expensive suits.

A Hard Rock employee watching the scene assured me that, “Mr. G is very nice.”

He’s also a diehard golfer. Think it’s coincidence that Mr. G scheduled a concert in Orlando the first night of the PGA Show? OK, it is. At least somewhat. But that doesn’t mean Kenny G didn’t have his people over at the Convention Center, looking for some golf gear swag.

Annika Sorenstam drinking with?
