ALL THE GOLF NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT...AND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT THAT'S NOT

Confirmed - Officially "The Most Interesting Man in The World"

There isn't a member at LCCC who won't agree that our own Bill Douglass personifies the term "a gentleman and a scholar".  Devastatingly handsome, sartorially savvy, incredibly well-read, and possessing impeccable manners, women want to be with him, while men simply want to be him. What many don't know is that he also happens to be one heck of a dancer.

"I don't always drink beer. But when
I do, it's because I'm out of Scotch."
"I try not to talk too much about it," offered Billy D. in a recent interview with The Hosel Rocket, "as I know a few guys at Las Colinas who are pretty proud of their dancing ability. In particular, John Ehlert and Ted Borek come to mind, though people might stop coming to Carpenter's if they don't start dancing with their wives instead of with each other. However, when the news broke about my needing to take time off from work to go to Hollywood, it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer."

In a stunning exclusive, THR has learned that Mr. Douglass (aka, "The British Baryshnikov") and Lisa Lowry (wife of Danny "I Own Matt Miller's Ass" Lowry) were recently selected to compete in the upcoming season of ABC's hit series Dancing With The Stars. The manner in which they came to be selected is an amazing story all by itself.

In a fortuitous development, the host of the show, Tom Bergeron, had flown into DFW last June for a weekend of observing tryouts for prospective DWTS participants. Upon landing and retrieving his rental car, he mistakenly punched in the address for LCCC into his GPS instead of the coordinates for the nearby The Four Seasons where the tryouts were taking place.

"Danny? Danny who? Bill, I don't have
any idea who you're talking about."
Pulling into the LCCC club grounds, he followed the sound of blaring music to the vicinity of the pool, believing it was the dancers warming up for their auditions. After parking in front of the pool house, he stepped through the gates, only to find the luau for the 2011 La Buena Bola member-guest golf tournament in full swing.

While the crowd's attention was drawn to some commotion taking place on the pool diving board, Bergeron observed Mr. Douglass and Mrs. Lowry gleefully shaking a leg to Bing Crosby's classic "Mele Kalikimaka", limboing gracefully under a four-foot ladder and some old Christmas lights that GM Ron Woolard had rigged in an effort to keep the roof of the decrepit pool house from collapsing.

With a keen eye for talent (as well as dancing), Bergeron approached the couple, introduced himself, and signed them up on the spot.

"Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers couldn't carry their lunch on their best day," mused Bergeron, "and if I were Mr. Lowry, I wouldn't count on seeing my wife any time soon. Did you see the moves on that old guy?  Smoother than Tom Francis over a three-footer, that's all I can say."
