Player Profile - Mike Primucci Pounce on Puerto Vallarta

The Primucci clan pounce on sunny Puerto Vallarta this weekend for a "warm up golf tournament in preparation for the Campione Della Mazza Italiana 2010 edition.  This family is serious when it comes to golf, but no more serious and dedicated than Michael Primucci.  When reached by phone today, Michael was noticably upset when asked about his performace in last years tournament held in Miami Florida.  Mike is determined not to have the name "Robert" engraved on the Mazza trophy this year.  It is no wonder that the Primucci Family tournament is being held near a beach side resort.  Lord  knows Mike is going to have to work on his sand game after last years performance!!  "They won....U KATZ last year.  I gave it to em.  The Dottore and Iggy are in for a rude awakening this year.  I don't care if they wax all the floors in Scottsdale!! My ankles are in good shape and I will take them all on.......straight up if they want.  This is the year!!!!"

  After a few words, I was able to calm down the purveyor of fine dough products, and remind him of the etiquette that we still adhere to in the great game of Golf.  Mike is serious this year and has been spotted around town working on his swing.

 

Rumour has it that he still has a lot of work to do.  Lucas and Samuel Primucci almost beat him in Florida a few weeks ago.  Not too good considering Lucas is 12 and Samuel is 11 years of age.

Hit em straight Mikey!!!

Alejandro Primucci Pulls Out of Mazza Tournament

Alejandro Primucci Pulls Out of Mazza Tournament

By Dick Swett

GUADALAJARA - MEXICO  (Reuters) - International Condom and sex toy manufacturer Trojan said on Tuesday that it would not end its sponsor deals with Alejandro Primucci, whose popularity has slumped after a two week sex scandal.

The company said it was standing by Mexico's No. 1 golfer, who said on Monday that he was taking an "indefinite break" from the Mazza Tournament.

"Trojan will maintain its exclusive agreement with Alex in both mini condoms and sex toy categories, and we look forward to his eventual return to the Mazza Tour," Trojan Executive Hugh G. Rection said in a statement. "Alex and his family have our full support."

Alex has served as an exclusive spokesman and autograph signer for Trojan's Asian line since 2001.

Primucci, now in his late 30's, last week admitted cheating on his wife as allegations of multiple extramarital affairs with Men rocked his life and career.

The golfer's public standing has plummeted as a parade of up to 13 men -- from hair dressers to several members of the popular Chippendales All Male Review, including Ben Gay, Harry P. Ness, Phil McRevis, E. Jack Ulate, Master Bates, Pat McGroin, Peter Goyzenia, Mike Hawk and the Mexican Porn star Juan Abuckmee  -- came forward to say they had had flings with the married father of two.

In the latest USA Today/Gallup poll, Primucci 's  "favourable" rating dropped to 33 percent from 85 percent in June 2005. His "unfavourable" rating surged to 57 percent from 8 percent.

Findings like those are making companies nervous.

Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer, makers of Viagra and are also weighing there options and this point and reserve to comment until they see if in fact he used these enhancing drugs while having sexual relations with these men.

When contacted by Skype today, Mazza Commissioner, Mario Masellis said only that he was disappointed that Alex was pulling out of the 2010 tournament, but was looking forward to seeing Alex back in 2011. 

Meanwhile there will be press conference held tomorrow in Geneva Switzerland naming Mr. Luis M Piedade as replacing Alex for next year.  Luis' commitment to the tournament was solidified as his flight to Phoenix was booked for $4.02 shy of thousand.  Ouch!!  Leave the lubricant at home.

Preparations Have Begun

2009 Champions gloat in the summer sun and the rest of us
wish we could, work has already begun for the 2010 Campione Della
Mazza Italiana Invitational Golf tournament.  Golf Digest has
already claimed that this is fast becoming a Premiere event on the
PGA tour schedule and is not far from being crowned as the 6th
major tournament.  Although many want to participate, very few are
allowed.

Topographic imagery captured by the most powerful NATO satellites  
is currently being used by past Champion Ignazio Bruno.  Iggy is
analyzing geographic slopes, current weather patterns and airport
accessibility.  Large crowds are expected to attend as the field
may increase from the traditional 8 golfers.  A short list of
courses will be submitted to the committee, once the data has been
analyzed and the sub-committee has narrowed down the list from the
more than 31,000 golf courses currently available worldwide.

Sub committee in charge geographic location will be meeting over
food, drinks and poker at the Commissioners residence; date to be
determined.
