ART SPANDER
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. | And now back to
our regular programming. Back to tour-
naments when marshals hold up one of
those “QUIET!” signs and there’s a chance
somebody might respond. To tournaments
when the sun goes down fans start to leave,
not continue to arrive.

That’s the WM
Phoenix Open, one
gigantic party,
where golf counts
only to a degree.
When Piercy went through Saturday, the
crowd repetitively shouted “Jenna Jameson,
Jenna Jameson, Jenna Jameson.” Who?
According to her website, “The Queen of
Porn.”
“She went to the same high school as
me,” said the 31-year-old Piercy, meaning
Bonanza High in Las Vegas. “I think she’s
older than me.” She is.
Those people at 16 do their research.
“Yes,” agreed Piercy, “they do. She’s not
an old girlfriend. You know, they have fun.”
That’s the WM Phoenix Open, one
gigantic party, where golf counts only to a
degree. Among the locations highlighted
on a course map of the TPC Scottsdale are
the Tilted Kilt Beer Garden, the 18th Beer
Garden, Salty Senorita, Paddy O’, Heineken
skyboxes and, most infamous of all, the
Coors Light Birds Nest.
