Q&A: Catching up with Tiffany, tips from The Beverage Cart Girl
Have you seen the GolfDigest.com slideshow featuring The 18 Most Annoying Golf Partners? It’s one of the most popular features we’ve had on the site all year.
I tweeted that I’m the Delusional Cell Phone Sandbagger who Schmoozes with the Cart Girl. I also tweeted that almost every successful buddies trip has at least one of each, and then some. A buddies trip is like a salad: The more color, the better.
One might argue that part of the slideshow’s popularity can be attributed to Tiffany, who posed as the hot beverage cart girl.
Because I love you, I was able to get my hands on a few extra photos and a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot:
Then I called Tiffany for a quick Q&A. (It's my job. It's what I do.)

Q&A: Donald Trump on his new course in Scotland and his contributions to golf
Donald Trump. I’ve met the man a few times. The first time was in the late 90s, when I was the golf photo editor for Sports Illustrated. As I recall, Trump was writing an article for the Golf Plus section of the magazine, and I went over to his office in New York to help coordinate the photo shoot. Simon Bruty was the photographer, and when we arrived, Trump wasn’t there. We were allowed to go into his office, overlooking Central Park, to set up lights, etc. As Bruty was doing his thing, I couldn’t help but look around. Trump’s desk was a mess. Not unlike the desk of Tiger Woods, which I saw when I was once allowed into his house. Papers everywhere.
Among the items on Trump’s desk was a note from George Steinbrenner: “Enjoy the game,” it said. And there were four tickets attached. I remember a Shaquille O’Neal basketball shoe. And a large collection of putters in the corner. One was all gold. Or, so I assumed. I picked that one up and started putting with it. At one point I picked up his phone, and in front of a wall of magazine covers, all featuring Trump, I did my best impersonation. At which point, Bruty snapped this photo:
When Trump arrived he ducked into his private bathroom to wash his hands and fix that magnificent head of hair. When I suggested he remove his coat for the photo, which looked a lot like the photo of me, he declined. He said he wanted to conceal his love handles.

And whether you like his courses or not, you have to respect his passion for whatever he does. Personally, I’m a Mike Keiser guy, which is to say I like a minimalist approach to course and clubhouse design. And therefore, I guess I’m not a Trump guy.
Or, so I thought.
